Proposed resolution

Support using an Backed Enum for #options

Remaining tasks

  • Update element documentation for select, checkboxes and radios
    Change record

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

@duadua do you have any narrative to add or is your MR pure experimentation?

I'd suggest creating a personal patch issue if its the latter, for example #3099942: [ignore] @dpi's patch testing issue

@dpi
That's a great recommendation. I'll do that and experiment a bit more first, before posting a MR into this issue.

To be honest I am confused whether to create MRs against 10.1.x or 11.x at this point.

Left some comments on the MR

We have some failing custom commands here (likely linting)

In #3538277: Add NodePreview enum and replace usage of DRUPAL_DISABLED, DRUPAL_OPTIONAL and DRUPAL_REQUIRED I'm looking to add a trait that allows you to do this very easily (although not quite like what is being proposed in the current MR).

The OptionsEnumTrait adds ::asOptions to an enum and forces a label method to be implemented. You can then use MyEnum::asOptions in the FAPI #options key, and also for things like field storage definitions with the allowed_values_function key

Version: 11.x-dev » main

Drupal core is now using the main branch as the primary development branch. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted to the main branch.

Read more in the announcement.

We need to make sure this is going to be compatible with #3468351: add enum support to Option field types.
