I don't know why but I've tried to get the property group to reference through the addon preferences for the list and been at this for four days and cant get anything to work. I've used this link https://blender.stackexchange.com/a/220639/78916 as a base reference for helping to solve the issue but end up going around in circles.
The code listed works fine but will not save any settings when exiting Blender and I'm guessing this is because the list doesn't reference through the Addon Preferences
The reference to the list index(and it's strings) needs to be used/accessed from another class but I can't even get any reference to the property group items through the addon preferences class? Given myself a headache over this one and I've done this for previous addons but never for a list and got myself code blined now and very frustrated.
Any input, advice or point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated but please don't point me to any UI Lists I dont think my eyes could take any more of those!
