I agree it would be nice if that worked, but Value doesn't intrinsically support AttrText so it requires manual conversion:

String s = ValueTo<AttrText>(~list).text;

or wrap it in a function.

I think AttrText is intended to be used as a quick way of customizing text that isn't going to be read-back by the application. But I'm suprised it doesn't at least have a Value contructor (AttrText(const Value &v)).
