Perspective is completely different than Vision. If you want a selectedStringValue for your dropdown, you will have to create one. Fortunately, it's not that difficult to do.
• First, add a custom property to your dropdown called selectedStringValue:

• Then, click the binding icon next to the custom property

• Bind the selectedStringValue custom property to the value property of the dropdown:

• Before closing the Edit Binding Dialog Box, click the Add Transform button and select Script:

• Add the following script, and click Apply before closing the Edit Binding Dialog Box:

#def transform(self, value, quality, timestamp):
	selectedStringValue = ''
	for index in range(len(self.props.options)):
		if self.props.options[index].value == value:
			selectedStringValue = str(self.props.options[index].label)
			break
	return selectedStringValue

The script will loop through the options and return the corresponding selected string value property that can be used in other scripting.

Just remember to give each of your options a unique value:
