AppleScript choose from list

Very simple question but how to start a script from a "choose from List"

E.g :

set issueList to {"1", "2", "2", "4"}

set selectedIssue to {choose from list issueList}

if selectedIssue is {"1"} then
    display dialog "ok" buttons {"1"} default button 1
else if selectedIssue is {"Holds Charge"} then
    -- do nothing
    display dialog "ok" buttons {"2"} default button 1
else if selectedIssue is {"2"} then
    -- do nothing
    display dialog "ok" buttons {"3"} default button 1
else if selectedIssue is {"3"} then
    -- do nothing   
    display dialog "ok" buttons {"4"} default button 1
end if

what I expected in this script its when I click on a element of the list , a notification start (or any other script) but I have no result.

Cheers

Hello I got the same issue with yours, but I solved it with code like this:

set mailList to {"One","Two","Three","Four"}
set mailType to choose from list mailList

if item 1 of mailType is "One" then
    display dialog mailType 
else if item 1 of mailType is "Two" then
    display dialog mailType 
else if item 1 of mailType is "Three" then
    display dialog mailType 
else if item 1 of mailType is "Four" then
    display dialog mailType 
end if

The notification returns {{"1"}}, not {"1"}. Change your code to 

if item 1 of selectedIssue is {"1"} then

etc and it should work.
