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.
Now I had the need for this again, would have saved me a lot of time… is it on the road map?
Again…
Is it on the road map?
Is there any new information regarding this feature request? 
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.
This feature is in development now, and due to be released early in December if everything goes according to plan!
Hi! This feature has been implemented in version 125.
Hi Olav,
I’ve noticed yesterday that the description field is also available for built-in ENUMs, but it seems to mostly return null (at least on the App variables I’ve tested). Just thought I’d mention it.
Hi,
Thanks for letting us know!
We will remove descriptions for built-in ENUMs from the function editor, as these will always be blank.
