I have created a datalist (whose model is shown below, along with everything else) with two properties I need to turn into an array in a web script: recipientGroup and recipientUser. These are both multi-valued fields which are associations to groups and users, respectively.What I need to do with this list is go through it and create an array for each of these associations: groupArray and userArray. I will then use these to start workflows. My problem is that I just can't seem to get my head around how these work as objects. The snippet I'm posting shows that I'm trying to include a list of unique groups and users, but since the comparison (as shown in a comment) always fails, the arrays are full of non-unique entries.Any thoughts?The datalist model:

The javascript snippet from the web script:
if ((child.assocs["reportdl:recipientGroup"])!=null)
{
for (var i=0;i<(child.assocs["reportdl:recipientGroup"]).length;i++)
{
var inTheList=false;
for (var j=0;j<groupArray.length;j++)
{
if (groupArray[j]==(child.assocs["reportdl:recipientGroup"])) //this is always false
{
inTheList=true;
}
}
if (!inTheList)
{
groupArray.push(child.assocs["reportdl:recipientGroup"]);
}
}
}
