Specification Macro Task - Show how to use FlowPropertyInfo to register a Property with more information

[thomasguillard]

FlowProperties methods accepts optional FlowPropertyInfo parameters.

An example to show how to take advantage of this to add more information to a Task Property would be nice:

• Description
• Category
• PropertyTypes

For PropertyTypes, this might be worth being a separate example to show how to list Group/Project elements, such as names of available Simple Tables for example

Let me ask you about the PropertyTypes. Is it possible to create a custom property type with custom options to show as a dropdown list in the generation task properties?

@amaraldev , I think I understand you're after creating a dropdown-like property but I am unsure if you are referring to Specification Macro Tasks or Generation Tasks, so I'll cover both:

• If this is for a Specification Macro Task, please refer to this other GitHub issue: Specification Macro Task - Show how to implement an IPropertyEditor #4
• If this is for a Generation Task, there is less work required as you can reference an Enum directly. use the ComponentTaskParameterInfo constructor that accepts a ComponentTaskParameterMetaData object. There you can write something like GetType(MyEnum) for its valueType parameter.

it's for a Generation Task. Great! Thanks!
