problem with defineitemgroup command

problem with defineitemgroup command

[Curious Learn]

I am trying to define an itemgroup to list the answers for multiple choice
questions. When I try to change the stopper using the option stopper=), the list
changes from an alphabetical one to a bulleted list. Please see the difference
between "choices" and "options" below. 

\defineitemgroup[choices][levels=1] 
\setupitemgroup[choices][1][a,packed] 

\defineitemgroup[options][levels=1] 
\setupitemgroup[options][1][a,packed,stopper=)]



\starttext
  
     \startchoices        
             \startitem This is choice 1. \stopitem   
             \startitem This is choice 2. \stopitem    
     \stopchoices 

     \startoptions        
             \startitem This is option 1. \stopitem   
             \startitem This is option 2. \stopitem    
     \stopoptions
    

\stoptext
               
Q. How can I change the stopper in this itemgroup.

Change this to

\setupitemgroup[options][1][a,packed]
\setupitemgroup[options][1][stopper=)]

You cannot mix options (a, packed, etc) with assignments (key=value).
