Pre selection logic?

I'm having trouble understanding how to export a function. Can someone give me some pointers?

Here is what I'm trying to do:
If you have pre selected a plane and a vertex, then click the feature, the feature will detect that you are wanting to use the "Up to vertex" method. I'm trying export these definitions so that the interface will show you what has been selected. When I'm not trying to export the definitions, the code works great, but I wan't the user to see which method is selected.

A summary of my attempt:

annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "Section", "Auto Section Function" : "autoSection"}
export const section = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map)
    precondition
    {
        annotation { "Name" : "Plane or face", "Filter" : GeometryType.PLANE || EntityType.VERTEX, "MaxNumberOfPicks" : 2 }
        definition.rootPlane is Query;

        //Required to create a drop down menu.
        annotation { "Name" : "Section method" }
        definition.sectionMethod is sectionMethod;

        if (definition.sectionMethod == sectionMethod.UPTOVERTEX)
        {
            annotation { "Name" : "Up to vertex", "Filter" : (EntityType.VERTEX), "MaxNumberOfPicks" : 1 }
            definition.limitEntity is Query;
        }
    }

export function autoSection(context is Context, id is Id, oldDefinition is map, definition is map) returns map
{
    if (oldDefinition != {}) // Only do anything on preselection
        return definition;

    //When I'm not trying to export, the following logic works great.
    if (size(evaluateQuery(context, definition.rootPlane)) == 2)
        {

            const autoVertex = qEntityFilter(definition.rootPlane, EntityType.VERTEX);
            const autoPlaneOrFace = qSubtraction(definition.rootPlane, autoVertex);

            if (size(evaluateQuery(context, autoVertex)) == 1 && size(evaluateQuery(context, autoPlaneOrFace)) == 1)
            {
                definition.sectionMethod = sectionMethod.UPTOVERTEX;
                definition.limitEntity = autoVertex;
                definition.rootPlane = autoPlaneOrFace;
            }

        }
    
    return definition;
}
