Use the "menuName" property of the pop-up button.

No, forget about the extra field. Set the "label" property of your menu
choice button. This property is not listed on the Button Properties card of
the MetaTalk Reference stack, but if you'll look around the stack a bit,
you'll find that there is a card for it. (Are you listening Scott?)
