    Also which of these three choices would be the best recursive answer?
  • They are all different, and I'll add two points:

     

    1. Wildcards don't work in data group entries

       

    2. You'll have the best luck with entries that have the most "match-ability". So A) above would probably be your best bet. Your class command is going to have access to evaluations like "starts_with", "contains", and "equals", so unless you need an exact match, the data group item should be less specific then the value you're trying to compare it to.
