Hi Keuris Ogando Piron,

You can’t pass an enumeration directly between pages. Instead:

1. Handle the selection with a microflow (on the first page).
2. Store the selected enumeration value:
   • Either in an attribute of an entity, or
   • Pass it as a microflow parameter.
3. Navigate to the second page, passing that object/value.
4. On the second page, display the data using the passed object, and show it in a numbered list (list view with index).

This is the standard way to show a selected enum result on another page in Mendix.

Hi,

Enumerations in Mendix are not data objects, so you cannot “retrieve” or pass them directly between pages like a list. The correct approach is to store the selected enum value in an object and pass that object between pages.

1. Create a helper entity

Create an entity (for example: SelectionHelper) with:

• Attribute: SelectedDate (Enumeration)

2. First page (selection page)

• Create a non-persistent object of SelectionHelper
• Show enum values using:
  • Dropdown / Radio buttons / List (based on enum)

User selects a value → stored in SelectionHelper/SelectedDate

3. Navigate using microflow

On button click:

• Call microflow
• Pass the SelectionHelper object
• Use “Show Page” → pass same object to next page

4. Second page (display page)

• Add a Data View with SelectionHelper
• Display:

$SelectionHelper/SelectedDate

If you want a “list-like” enum selection

Since enums are static, if you want to show them as a list:

• Either use a Dropdown (recommended)
• Or create a mapping entity (if you need numbering/custom labels)

Important note

You cannot:

• Retrieve enumeration like database data
• Pass enum alone between pages

You must always pass it via an object (helper entity).

Store the selected enum value in a helper object and pass that object between pages using a microflow. That’s the standard and correct way to handle enumeration-based selection across pages in Mendix.
