Transfer values of enums into integer and show them in a field (same entity)

0
I want to calculate some values and show the results but I have some difficulties achieving that. I have saved three values as enumeration in an entity – shown here:  I want to transfer these enum values into integer values in the first place that I can further process them:  3 → 3 2 → 6 1 → 9 My (tried) approach(es) for that are:  Sorry for the censorship – let me explain:  The input parameter is the entity in which the enum values are saved.  Content of the exclusive split: $describedEntity/enumAttribute My tries of the enumeration value sequence flows: _3:   _1: similar but with the workaround of creating a value, changing the variable value and returning them _2: simply returning the value six in the end event I want put out the result out here:  However, so far I was not able to show the needed integer values  (3, 6 or 9) here.  For completeness here the respected entity:  Thank you so much for your support! So far I have oriented on that approach: https://community.mendix.com/link/questions/93660 Best regards, Robert

Hi Robert,

Not getting the picture… to much sensorship :D

Either model it, you can look in virtual attributes or use data.

You can also use different data model, with a reference selector. Form → Value

The Value object can contain the enum and a weighted value attribute.

When user associates the form with the value object you can calculate it. Down side is that you have to set the data in your database.
