Hi,

I want to use a chip group to filter on an Enum set (status).

I want it to only show unique statuses in datasource, e.g. projects. As of now I can find a sutible datasource/setup to accomodate this.

How can I solve this? I want to avoid looping through all projects and list out statuses in a seperate datasource

Hi, to achieve this you can use an Enum datasource and connect it to the Chip Group and then use the filtering on the UI-component so that you just show the statuses that exist in the projects.
