I agree that it doesn't seem that you are doing things the "right" way, but you haven't provided enough oversight to grasp what a better way might look like. Whenever you find yourself using the value() function to insert a variable into an expression should ring alarm bells that there is a "better" way

I ended up creating a small DB in text format as a cast lib member and having yet another text member that
I use to create my entries, which looks much cleaner, and have Director read from that and assign it in the DB.

What the??? Since you already had this working even before your first post, and then figured out another way to make it work too, I should just leave this alone … but I couldn't.
It seems like you went about it backwards. This will create the same result for the variable s as your first example:
myString = "This" && VariableD && "ThisToo" && "That"
s = []
s.append(myString)
although I suspect you really wanted DB to end up being the list and not s, and that would have just been like so:
s = "This" && VariableD && "ThisToo" && "That"
DB = []
DB.append(s)
