Problem with selectedValue for dropdownforenum
this is my code. The drop down values are the string values and the text values are the string values of the enum. I am trying to set the selected value for the drop down and it will not work. Please advise. Thanks for the reply.
@form.FormGroup().DropDownListFromEnumFor(m => m.AppointingOfficialRole).OptionLabel("Select a role...").SelectedValue(Model.AppointingOfficialRole.ToString())
the SelectedValue() extension is a bit misleading. Perhaps I should consider removing it.
Try setting AppointingOfficialRole in the controller to the value you want and then just use helper like so:
@form.FormGroup().DropDownListFromEnumFor(m => m.AppointingOfficialRole).OptionLabel("Select a role...")
I used jquery. It seems there is a problem with your helper. I was also wondering if the enum had a description does it display that instead because it is more human readable? Thanks for the reply.

I tested this. Setting selected value in the controller works for sure. I think it does work with [Description] attribute. I certainly remember doing something about it. Just give it a try.
give an example because it is set from the db in the back end. What is this Description supposed to do? It does not seem like it is a method to set the drop down? Should we use this instead of selectedvalue for our other drop downs??? Thanks for the reply.

Again I ask if I insert a Description attribute onto the enum will the drop down display that value? Thanks for the reply.

Set up an empty project which reproduces issue and send it to me via email. I'll take a look.
Regarding [Description] attribute... give it a try. I think it will display that value.
