Hi Community,

I’m trying to read out the different options a drop-down field in a job definition has from automation.
Does anyone know how this can be done?

Hi Ive,

You’re problably looking for the following piece of code:

var gefd = sectionDefinition.GetFieldDescriptorById(fieldID) as GenericEnumFieldDescriptor

This object exposes the entries of the enum as follows:

gefd.GenericEnumInstance.Entries

Let me know if you need additional assistance.
