Its hit and trial which worked

I created one group variable and populate its elementary variables having length 79, next send text from the group variable. all line displayed on screen

While receiving the records I found the last record only reflected
however I used that to get the option value

Okay.. but why not use maps when it’s created for interactive purpose?

Send text is only created for output purpose when you do not expect input for that , for e.g. error handling or warning messages.
