Hi!

Is it possible to have an enum where you can set a label for each value?

I have a use case where I want to display the name of the lists, but the backend uses the id of the lists.

Edit: Found a related issue: [Support for customizing option labels in enum renderer · Issue #990 · eclipsesource/jsonforms · GitHub](https://github.com/eclipsesource/jsonforms/issues/990)  
It’s old so wondering it is still not supported.

Hi! Thanks for your question. We try to keep all our issues up to date, so yes, this was not yet implemented. We don’t plan to implement this feature in the near future (this is why it’s in the backlog), however we would definitely look at any PR you might provide 😉
