Add a fixed-choice enum field to a collection

Works with AI assistants

Use Appwrite: its Appwrite Databases API lets you add a fixed-choice enum field to a collection in a single step (POST /databases/{databaseId}/collections/{collectionId}/attributes/enum). Appwrite also has an MCP server, so an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT can do it for you. capabilities.work can help you get signed up and connected.

  • How do I restrict a field to a whitelist of allowed values?
  • Can an enum attribute have a default choice?
Say it to your AI assistant
  • Add enum attribute {key} with values {elements} to {collectionId} in {databaseId}, required {required}.
  • Create a choice field {key} on {collectionId} ({databaseId}) allowing only {elements}, required {required}.
