I am trying to create a scripted field that takes a integer status and returns a string status from a list.  
the doc field returns an integer value and the list returns a string when I manually input an integer, but when I try to use the doc field as the index integer it returns an empty list.

```
def stat = ['unknown', 'onLine', 'onBattery', 'onSmartBoost', 'timedSleeping', 'softwareBypass', 'off', 'rebooting', 'switchedBypass', 'hardwareFailureBypass', 'sleepingUntilPowerReturn', 'onSmartTrim'];

```

the array --^

```
stat[doc['iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.318.1.1.1.4.1.1.0'].value -1];

```

Returns

```
[]

```

while

```
stat[3]

```

Returns

```
["onSmartBoost", ...]

```

and

```
doc['iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.318.1.1.1.4.1.1.0'].value -1

```

Returns

```
[3, ...]

```

so my question is if I'm getting integers for the doc and integers work as an index for the list why do I get an empty list?

Hey Greg, thanks for your request and welcome to our community.

It can maybe a problem of wrong data type and you should cast to int the value, can you please tell me the mappings for that document value?
