This is not a *bug* per se, or even specific to 2.0.10 or even 2.0 for that matter. This issue has been around a while.
Could also simply be a localisation issue for specifically english.
Discussed briefly in the discord's #train-help, specifically for "Cargo" / "Item Count" it might be worth using stricter and consistent naming of Wait Conditions between the "Picked List" and "Selection List"
