Hi Rohin,

What type of thinning field is yours?

Bind cannot be performed if the type does not match.

I tried it and it seems that there is no type that can bind with Enum.

Hi Rohin,

An alternative to defining "Eye" as Enumeration value is defining it as a "String".

To map the "Is Thinning" NoYes Enum value you can do something like this:

On the data model "Eye" field click the edit button.

The select the case formula and do something like

Case (Eye,

Thinning.No,

"NO",

Thinning.Yes,

"YES")

That's what I use often and that overcomes issues with the correct formatting and mapping of enums.

Hope it helps.

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hi Sir,

I read this Enumeration (Dynamics 365 for Operations > Enumeration) part.

: ax.docentric.com/.../

It seems to transform the NoYes enum value into a boolean value in the model.
