Hi everyone,

I found something confusing in the link syntax today when accessing arrays.
field(INP, "$(WF_RECORD).[5] CP") returns the number at index 5
but field(INP, "$(WF_RECORD).[5]") returns the number at index 0

This can be very confusing to the user. It would be nice to have the same array
syntax regardless of the link type, CA or not.

Here is my test db:

record(aai, "$(P)AAI") {
    field(NELM, 10)
    field(INP, [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10])
}
record(ai, "$(P)AI1") {
    field(INP, "$(P)AAI.[5] CP")
    field(PINI, YES)
}
record(ai, "$(P)AI2") {
    field(INP, "$(P)AAI.[5]")
    field(PINI, YES)
}
