What you really want is ListFind(Variables.FooList, "1")
List Contains looks at each element of a list, and then checks that element
to see if the substring is somewhere within. As such, list element 5 in
foolist, which is 10, does contain the substring 1.... and the function
returns 5.
ListFind looks at each element of a list and checks to see if that element
value is equal to a substring. Since your list does not contain a whole
element of 1, the result is 0, or False.
