Hi All,

As I was diving into metadata format I have encountered that presumably some 
time ago we wanted to support Enum derived types, but the implementation is 
missing.
However derived record type allocates a separate field “Enum values”, which 
seems to be null in all the cases: 
{ "DataverseName": "Metadata", "DatatypeName": 
"Field_NodeNames_in_NodeGroupRecordType", "Derived": { "Tag": "UNORDEREDLIST", 
"IsAnonymous": true, "EnumValues": null, "Record": null, "Union": null, 
"UnorderedList": "string", "OrderedList": null }, "Timestamp": "Wed Jun 24 
12:08:21 PDT 2015" }

So here is the question: am I getting right that we don’t support AQL 
enumerations yet? If not should we keep this extra field in metadata? (which 
essentially adds up unused space for each type’ metadata description). I 
believe we can safely move it out into open part of the record.

Best regards,
Ildar
