Question:Correct usage of command ConvertIn from Galois Field package

Hi all,

I would like to use the command ConvertIn() from the Galois Field package to convert polynomials to field elements.

This is what I've done:

G:=GF(2,4)
                        G := 𝔽[16]

b:=G:-random()
                          b := T mod 2

s:=G:-ConvertIn(T)
Error, (in ConvertIn) only integer polynomials in T can be converted

Why is this error showing up?? My argument of the command ConvertIn IS an integer polynomial in T.

How can I avoid this error?

Thanks for your help!
