Creating an Enumeration Entry
To add an entry to the enumeration value list, use the following procedure:
1. Open the information page of the relevant enumeration in edit mode.
2. Click the Create a new entry icon on the Available for selection list.
The New Entry window opens.
3. Enter the following properties:
Internal Name—The internal name of the entry. This value must be unique. This is a required field.
Display Name—The display name of the entry, as it should appear when the value list is used by an attribute. This is a required field.
Description—Any useful information about the entry.
4. Click OK to create the new entry, and return to the enumeration information page in edit mode. Alternatively, click Apply to create the new entry, and refresh the New Entry window to create another new entry.
The new entry is added to the Available for selection list.
You can subsequently edit the properties of this entry using the View and Edit Entry Properties action.
5. Click Done to save the changes and return to view mode. Click Save to save the changes, but remain in edit mode.

The following scenario is applicable when editing the properties of an entry originally created using a resource bundle. The internal name of an entry might contain one or more spaces or special characters. However, because spaces and special characters are not allowed in the internal name, they are replaced with underscores in the Internal Name box in the View and Edit Entry Properties window. Additionally, the prefix “Transformed_” is added to indicate that it is updated. The original internal name is displayed in the Alias box.
When using such enumeration entries in the custom code, always use the original internal name.
