how to set a variable from a list

Question

Original User: frankv3

i want to make a model that the user can select a choice from a list in the dialog and that choice will be passed as a variable to a python script
the model has a list of choices that show up as parameters but the model runs for all of them and not just the one selected
also is there a way to use a table or file to create the selection list for a variable in model builder instead of typing each choice itn the add variable box?

I could be wrong, and I'd be interested to know a model builder solution, but the only way I can think of to get a selection from a list is with ArcObjects. Once you have that selection, you could call the rest of your python script.
