  • Array vs Enum what's the difference and which one is better performance wise?

    These two field types looks very similar, what are the difference between the two?

    If they are same, which one is better in terms of performance?

    Thank You! :-)

    The only difference is their appearance. It happen historically that we have two different field types. Even 3, checklist behaves the same in back-end.

      How I see it:

      Enum is a checkbox system, option is "static".

      Array is a list of text line; write anything you want.

      Personally I don't like array too much at the moment because the Search don't work too well with it. I use array field for "Alias and aka (also known as) field".

      For example for Mr John Smith, I might added in "Johnny", or "Johnno"

        Alias is exactly what I want to use it for.

        Thanks.

      The Multi-enum supports custom values as well.
