The solution leaves the gnatsweb query format unchanged, i.e. >enumeration values are still returned as integers. In a longer perspective, we should probably look into stopping doing that. Using integer values messes up the sorting system for instance, since you do not get an alphabetical order of values when you sort query results on an enumerated value field ("sort" should rather be called "group" for that kind of field). >The net effect is that for enumeration type values which are undefined, >"unknown" is displayed in query results and is preselected in drop-down menues >on the Edit page (thus forcing an explicit change). I toyed with the idea of changing "unknown" to "Select value". (snip) >Finally, "unknown" is preselected as Category on the Create page. This is not >related to the other changes.
