Enum description - use in app

Hi
When using enums I see that it would be convenient to add and use a description. There is a field for description when creating the enum, it would be brilliant to be able to display that field in the apps, as far as I can see this field is not available for use.

Is this something that could be supported? (ideally also with a check if the enum has a description).
Regards, Johan

Hi Johan,

Thank you for your suggestion, there are certainly benefits of using the Enum description field within apps.

This has been passed on to our Devs team as a feature request.

Thanks,
Rhys

This has been a feature request since the forum lived in Slack. It might have slipped on the way to the new forum. It would be nice to see it implemented.

Again…

Is it on the road map?

Is there any new information regarding this feature request? :slight_smile:

Enums are very useful for classifying content and for standardizing, icons, colors and terminology across different languages.
Descriptions have been part of Enums for a long time, with support for translation, so it feels more like a bug than a missing feature that they’re currently not available to use.

And while you’re at it, don’t forget the related topics More support for enum colors! , Use the Icon color of an ENUM in the UI

Just used my last vote on this. Consider this a vote for the related coloring features as well (Coloring), as it isn’t possible to vote on questions.
