What's all this then. It's only a selected part of the code but is all in context. There is a global "global VRCUDesc".

I'd say that the text of the label "VRCUDescLabel" can't be initialized with a variable (VRCUDesc) like this.

Try to replace the code with this:

dropdownlist VRCUDDown "" items:#(
                                                            "Save+Load",
                                                            "Compute+Load",
                                                            "Load Existing",
                                                            "Unload"
                                                            )
                                                            width:200 align:#center


                                                                                                                    
        groupBox VRCUDescGrp "" pos:[5,30] width:200 height:60 
        
        label VRCUDescLabel "Saves the current in-memory cache and loads it (sets mode to File)." pos:[0,0] -- Label Text = Default option text
                                                            
        on VRCUDDown selected sel do
        (
            if sel == 1 then
            (
                VRCUDescLabel.text = "Saves the current in-memory cache and loads it (sets mode to File)."
            )
            
            if sel == 2 then
            (
                VRCUDescLabel.text = "Turns off render final image, turns on show gi only, changes mode to Single, auto-save and auto-switch!"
            )
            
            if sel == 3 then
            (
                VRCUDescLabel.text = "Loads existing caches."
            )
            
            if sel == 4 then
            (
                VRCUDescLabel.text = "Goes back to Single mode, turns off auto-save and switch."
            )
