Hello Everyone,

Just curious to know what is the purpose of enumeration type = System, and in which scenario we will be using this type as system.

Thanks!

Hi @parthasarathy - System type enumerations are fixed and can't be changed directly in the form field that references them. The Open type of enumeration can be added to by entering the new values into the form field directly if the field supports it.

Hello, the differenc we can see between "system" and "closed" is that the "closed", very similar to the "open" but with not editable directly into forms, use the alias concept (with xtk:enumAlias schema) whereas the "system" doesn't use it. I think the system type is very technical, similar to the schema enumerations. And it could be an historical point (maybe there were only "system" and "open" before)
