This code serve the purpose to check if the user’s input premium code in the premium code array. Though, the type of modal textinput is <class ‘discord.ui.text_input.TextInput’>, while i need it to be in str for it to work. And yes, i tried str(), it still doesn’t work. How do i compare values ignoring its type or how do i change discord.ui.text_input.TextInput type to string? Any help?

class Mymodal(ui.Modal, title="Be an elite user"):
  code = ui.TextInput(label="Enter code", placeholder="Include capitals and dashes.", style=discord.TextStyle.short)
  async def on_submit(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    refresh()
    print(type(self.code))
    if self.code in client.monthly_codes:
      if interaction.user.id in client.monthly_user or interaction.user.id in client.yearly_user:
        if interaction.user.id in client.yearly_user:
          premium_status = "Yearly"
        else:
          premium_status = "Monthly"

I tried:
if str(self.code) in client.monthly_codes:
expecting:
for it to works:
result:
it doesn’t
