Platform Issue
VGUI records, Text UI The value of validValuesMsgKey is a string or literal that matches an entry in the first column of the message table identified in the msgTablePrefix program property. A message table is a data table that contains messages; for more information see "DataTable part." If a numeric key is used with a message table that expects a character key, the number is converted to a character string. If a string literal is used with a message table that expects a numeric key, the value in the string must be a signed or unsigned integer.
