    Hi,

    Thanks for reaching out. Enum support is on the roadmap, with support from the underlying implementation. Will keep this thread updated on the topic.

      hello - any news on the enumerations in CDF? I couldn’t find any mention of that in CDF documentation or these communities.  Is there anything in CDF that helps to support enumerations handling?

      I’m looking for the same, the only mention I found in docs is here:
      https://docs.cognite.com/cdf/dm/dm_guides/dm_best_practices_ai_search/#specify-enum-values

      Edit: I realized CogniteTimeSeries within core data model uses Enum for the “type”-property, you can check it out by running the following.

      client = CogniteClient()

      cognite_ts = client.data_modeling.containers.retrieve(
          ContainerId(space="cdf_cdm", external_id="CogniteTimeSeries")
      )

      cognite_ts.properties.get("type")
