Conditional statement using array variables...possible?

Hi,
Since I have no programming skills I want to see if I can control my model with only variables and conditional statement instead of feature script. I seem to have a problem with what I am trying to achieve. See below an example of the basics...but how can I formulate the statements to get what I need it to do.
Our product comes in standard lengths so I use a variable with an array of dimension. This length variable must drive my box dimension which also has predetermine sizes. Both array match meaning if length is 48" then box is 7" and so on. I'm guessing that because I am using array variables it might explain why it does not work.
Of course the best would be to have a selection table driven by FS but it is clearly not my forte.

I'm not sure I understand what your issue is, as it looks like the Part Studio you've created is pretty well-formed.
If the selections of box, width, and height always go together, why not create one #option variable and just use that instead of three separate variables that have to match.
Okay I understand now, I need only one variable to drive 2 dimensions. I will rename the option variables simple as that.
Thanks
