@mnesarco Don't you think it'd good to allow the Discussions tab on Github?

I'd like to ask how to deal with an enumeration property with a dynamic list of potential values.

• PropertyOptions allows a one-time dynamic list but

  • Property.options doesn't take any argument. I think, it should take the FreeCAD object as argument. Other properties may not be initialized but they may not be needed and this can be checked for
  • there's no way to update the list after the object is created (Property.update treats the self.enum case but not the self.options)

• PropertyEnumeration should work with a custom class for enum thanks to duck-typing but a check if isinstance(value, Enum) in Property.update() should be added to allow to update the list of potential values.

I tried both options (with modifications in fpo) but didn't succeed so far. Anyway, how would you do it?
