[MC1202] / [MC0202] Chest Dispenser does not use ITEM ID parameter

When using the IC, it will dispense items properly, but the ITEM ID parameter on the THIRD line is not registering. It seems that the FOURTH line parameter for the number of items to dispense is operating on the THIRD line. When entering an item ID on the third line, instead of dispensing that item ID, the matching number of the LAST item in the list of items in the chest is dispensed.
For example, I loaded the chest with a stack of stone, grass, and cobblestone. I set the THIRD line to 2 for grass, and it dispensed two cobblestone blocks. If I set it to 4 for cobblestone, and leave the FOURTH line blank, it dispensed 4 blocks of whatever was last in the list of items in the chest.

so it seems to me that the third line parameter should be described as the number of items, and the fourth line parameter appears to be which item in the chest, numbered from first to last? not 100% sure what you meant there at the end and I feel like you left out a key piece of information, or something. I'll test it a bit and see if this happens to me, but for as long as I've been using the chest dispenser, not once has it ever allowed me to pick what items to dispense.

[http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/CraftBook/MC1202 The wiki article] says otherwise. Although it could be wrong, I don't see why this IC wouldn't have this feature. I wanted to use it in conjunction with a cooking pot to automatically withdraw the cooked items, but not the raw ones.

yeah. I'm not sure where they got the info on the wiki, but it doesn't work like that in game.
I just checked the in-game documentation on it, and it said that it was set up like this:
Line1: Blank
Line2: [mc1202] (or [mc0202])
Line3: amount to remove
Line4: Blank
so it's possible that the wiki is using old information, or whoever wrote it had incorrect information. I'll go update the page so it's correct.
I do agree that it might be nice to have a parameter for dispensing specific items, however, there are other ways to achieve the same effect, such as using a sorter (mc1229 and mc0229) to separate the items you want to keep from the ones you want to dispense, or using individual chests and dispenser signs for each item you want to be able to dispense.
