A String Enumeration is like a Mapped String in which the name and value are always the same. A property with a type of StringEnum will be editable with a drop-down list box showing all the values in the enumeration.

 

String Enumerations are deprecated and Mapped Strings should be used instead. In some future release, String Enumerations may be removed. This is because, by tightly coupling the displayed text with the text stored in the database, it makes it very difficult to change the text that is displayed. Use the Display Group to bring related items together in the same group to make finding them easier.
