Cfselect default value containing comma does not work

Question

I have a drop down list of Countries stored in a table as
defined by UPS. These are used to calculate shipping charges.
When a customer record is brought up and their country is
"Ireland, Republic Of", the country displayed ends up being the
first country in the list, which is Albania. Of course, when the
user saves the record, they did not intentionally change the
country, Albania is their new country. So I did not know there was
a city of Dublin in Albania.
Does the reporting of bugs feature on Adobe work? I posted
this there a couple of weeks ago and did not hear anything.

It just sort of seems to defeat the purpose of typedefs when you cannot use many of the property nodes.
To me the purpose of typedefs is to make it easier to add / remove controls without having to replace all the clusters.
On reading http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/3efedde4322fef19862567740067f3cc/1b04fd6a11e6f17286256c6300588bfa?OpenDocument
carefully, the key point is
"The only properties available for a strict type definition control are those that affect the appearance of the control such as Visible, Disabled, Key Focus, Blinking, Position, and Bounds."
It is also annoying that the properties that are not available can still be used with no effect, without any compile error / warnings, runtime errors etc...
So I modified the set VI by wirin
g a property node to the strict type def reference. I used the control references propetry to get an array of references to the controls in the cluster. I then indexed the array to get to one of the boolean controls and set the value signaling property on the reference to the boolean button. This did generate an event.
Dispite what it says above the value signaling property did update the values on the type def controls on the front panel without generating an event. I also tried the value property and that updated the value of the type def control.
