Scripting: Options Menu input type?

[TaliZorah]

Hi there, for a current project I'm setting up some substances dynamically using the GetInputProperties(); function.
Almost all input types are working as expected however I have trouble finding out which input type the option menus take.
The menus are returned as enums however using for example the SetInputInt(); function and calling the index returns an invalid input parameter error.

I thought I might have to use SetInputString(); and then specify the name and option, however this leads to an instant Unity Crash.
Here's the crash log:

Can anyone tell me what function to use to input options from an option/dropdown menu?

Best,
Chloe

Edit:
I found out that it is indeed an int not a string. However there seems to be no way of knowing which dropdown option corresponds to what integer value which makes it basically impossible to populate dynamically.

TaliZorah's asked the same question in another forum and we replied to her in that forum. Here is our developer's answer to the question for users who may want to know.

"The only way I was able to reproduce the problem was to install the script twice in the gameObject. Hopefully you used the Duplicate function reset.

So, instead of duplicating a graph, save the preset:
string initialPreset = substance.preset;
and when it's time to reset the graph, do:
substance.preset = initialPreset;
substance.QueueForRender();
Substance.Game.Substance.RenderSubstancesAsync();"
