Question

Country Enumeration caption

1

I wanted the name of the selected country in a string. There is a nice microflow in this app that converts the country to string. Only it is not converting the caption name, but the name of the enumeration. So I get United_Kingdom instead of United Kingdom in my string. I thought I could change this easily, but how do I retrieve the caption of an enumaration? A work around offcourse could be to just replace the underscore but I really would like to retrieve the caption, because then I have the right language of the user as well. Is it still only possible through Java like mentioned in this post how to retrieve caption in Java.

The caption of an enum can be retrieved in a microflow with the function getcaption. E.g. in a MF create a string that you set to:

getCaption($entity/enum-attribute)

This will return the string in the user's language.

I hope this helps.
