EnumList Field

The EnumList (Enumeration List) field type allows users to select multiple values from a predefined list of options. Unlike the standard Enum type, which restricts users to a single choice, EnumList is ideal for capturing sets of data, such as “Skills,” “Interests,” or “Applicable Categories”.

The Basic Properties tab establishes the field’s identity and its relationship to the parent object.

Data Type Properties

When the EnumList data type is selected, the following specialized configuration options appear:

Value Management

• Enum Values: The primary field for entering your options. Type a value and hit Enter to add it.
• Enum Formula: Allows you to use the Expression Builder to dynamically generate the list of options from other records or objects.
• Allow Other Values: A checkbox that, when enabled, allows users to type and add their own custom tags to the list.
• Sort Alphabetically: A checkbox to automatically organize the multi-select options in A-Z order.

UI & Styling

• Pill Coloring: Defines the visual style of the selected tags. Options include:
• Standard: Primary, Success, Danger, Info, Warning.
• Greyscale: Dark, Light, Black, White.
• None: Displays as simple comma-separated text.
• Input Mode: A dropdown that determines how the multi-select options are presented:
• Auto: The system optimizes the layout based on the number of options.
• Button: Displays options as clickable buttons.
• Stacked: Displays options as a vertical list of checkboxes.
• Dropdown: Displays a multi-select menu with a search bar for finding tags.
