I am able to get the "MN Tooled" alert to show now, but not the other ones.  Here's what I changed in my IF/ELSE statement

var info = "Make a Selection Please";
if ((prefs.a === true) && (rdlTL === true)) { info ="Mn Tooled";}
    else if ((prefs.a === true) && (prodType.b === true)) { info = "Mn Cast";}
    else if ((prefs.a === true) && (prodType. === true)) { info = "Mn Etched";}
    else if ((prefs.a === true) && (prodType.d === true)) { info = "Mn UV";}    

alert(info);

 So the Default options are selected based on the "prefs.JSON"

({a:true, b:false, c:false, d:false, e:false, choice:"MN"})

 

and the "prodType.JSON"

({a:false, b:true, c:false, d:false, choice1:"Cast"})

 

but the Save Functions to update those 2 JSON files does not seem to be overwritting the files when the selection changes.

 

 

 

    function save_prefs(prefs) {
    //    var file = File(Folder.temp + '/perfs.json')
        var file = File('C:/Users/Public/perfs.json')
        file.open('w');
        file.encoding = 'UTF-8';
        file.write(prefs.toSource());
        file.close();
    };
    



function save_prodType(prodType) {
//    var file = File(Folder.temp + '/prodType.json')
var file = File('C:/Users/Public/prodType.json')
    file.open('w');
    file.encoding = 'UTF-8';
    file.write(prodType.toSource());
    file.close();
};

Alright, I think I know why this is happening now, it's probably because there needs to be an event code which calls your save_prefs function and the like. Right now, it appears that you have set up your UI, while doing so, write down your unchanged data to the prefs files and then wait for user action which at that point it's already done with your intentions before the user is presented with the window dialog.

So there are a couple of ways to save these files: 1) save it each time the choice or choice1 are changed within the onClick events, 2) save it only at the end of when the user closes the dialog.
In the show invocation:
if (w.show() == 2) {
  // maybe ignore the settings if the user has cancelled.
  return null;
} else {
  save_prefs(...)
  return { ... }
}

The question is, is the variable 'prodType' and others which you are wishing to update, are they actually being updated in any way?
var prodType = { choice1: "A" };
var choice1 = prodType.choice1;
choice1 = "B";

alert(choice1); // "B"

alert(prodType.choice1); // "A"

As you see, 'choice1' has not been coupled by reference to the property inside the object of 'prodType'. Updating the 'choice1' independent variable does not actually mutate the property inside prodType because it is a primitive property, as it is only a string. To mutate properties by reference it's only possible to have this property be an object itself, and you change something inside of that object.

var prodType = { choice1: { value : "A" } };
var choice1 = prodType.choice1;
choice1.value = "B";

alert(choice1.value); // "B"

alert(prodType.choice1.value); // "B"

 

The simplest short answer is though, when you are changing the value of 'choice1', just set the text of the button to the prodType's '.choice1' property instead of the choice1 variable.
