Hi Visvash,

You have already standard EDT "NoyesId" and itself Enum type = No yes is there. You need to use EDT directly "NoyesID " in your table field only. Automatically it will shows enum "NoYes" for you.

If it's useful for you please mark verify.

Thanks!

Hi,

Recommended best practice is to assign ExtendedDataType property to NoYesId and Enum property to NoYes on the required field(as shown below). No need to create a new EDT.

On the other side, you can simply assign the Enum as NoYes without any EDT(at table level directly) and I haven't seen any best practice deviation on the table by doing so.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks Arpan & Hakim.

Yes , I know i can use directly Enum on table but i was looking for suggestion if i have field specfic to some functionality then wouldn't be it better to make EDT for Enum for that or use standard enum directly on table level.
