John,
While your last comment is extremely snide and unnecessary, I'll still
engage in conversation with you.

I do not find it obvious.  While I can see that a string array can't be
'custom', I do NOT see how a properly formatted object allows a 'get' of an
attribute but not a 'set' of an attribute.  While I'm running through this
API, this is the first occurrence if this that I have come across.  No
matter the style of the list of objects, I must use the 'getValues()' method
to return a List<EnumItem>....if they wanted to differentiate a regular from
accustom by specifying one of them is a array of strings, and the other was
a List<EnumItem>, then they should have two different get methods.

While we could debate the merit of this approach, I'll thank you for the
information you provided (minus the snarky comments) and move on.

LJ,

If you use the constructor or set method that takes an array of Strings,
you get a regular list. If you use the constructor or set method that
takes a list of EnumItems, you get a custom list.

I'll leave it to you for feedback on how obvious this seems :-)


John
