So since my addon will be for kodi 18 and 19 i was having issues with the setting.xml not working as i would like in both versions. So i updated the settings.xml to the new format.
One of my settings what actually a button to run the addon with specific arguments. but when i use the new format it does not allow me to run my addon from them anymore.

xml:
<setting id="option2" type="action" label="30344" help="">

        	<level>0</level>

        	<data>RunScript(screensaver.evolve.apple, option2)</data>

        	<constraints>

        		<allowempty>true</allowempty>

        	</constraints>

        	<control type="button" format="action">

        		<close>false</close>

        	</control>

        </setting>

This is the best i could com up with everything looks right but in testing i cant get it to initiate the script. Any ideas of what i am doing wrong. I am using on kodi 18.5

Can't help with where you might be going wrong, so just pointing those out in case you hadn't seen them.

This is where I got what little example I have. But thank you.

it is not recommended to use the new settings format in Kodi 18, it still has many bugs there.
in Kodi 19, all of those should be fixed and your setting will work fine.
