Getting Enum value for display method x++

Report

Posted on by YCeren

I wrote a display method for an extension table. ServiceSubStatus is an enum field so 0,1,2 are displaying but I need to display the value of the enum.

Can you please help me with this?

   [ExtensionOf(tableStr(EntAssetObjectTable))]
public final class ObjectTable_Extension
{
    public display ServiceSubStatus ServiceSubStatus()
    {    


        return (ServiceStatus::findByRecId(this.ServiceStatus).ServiceSubStatus);

    
    }

}

You can use enum2Str function to get the string value of Enum, refer to:

enum2Str Function | Microsoft Docs

What you're describing isn't the expected behavior. What you should see is enum's label, not numeric values.

Could you please look at ServiceSubStatus enum (it doesn't exist in my F&O application) and check the Label property of enum elements? A possible explaination is that somebody set the numbers as labels.

ServiceSubStatus exists as Base Enum (I have created it) and labels are fine, I am not sure why I get this result

[ExtensionOf(tableStr(EntAssetObjectTable))] public final class ObjectTable_Extension { public display str ServiceSubStatus() { return (enum2str(ServiceStatus::findByRecId(this.ServiceStatus).ServiceSubStatus)); } }

Try the code above (I used enum2str and changed return type to string)

public display str ServiceSubStatus() { SysDictEnum dictEnum = new SysDictEnum(enumNum(ServiceSubStatusEnum)); ServiceStatus serviceStatus = ServiceStatus::findByRecId(this.ServiceStatus); if(serviceStatus) { return dictEnum.value2Label(serviceStatus.ServiceSubStatus); }

I coded this way and it worked but thank you so much for your answer
