can't get strings property on enum

[wb2nvy]

In the attached sample.vi, I'm trying to obtain a strings property of the enum so I can use the string data in a string indicator. From my readings I'm led to believe I should be able to right click on the enum and select Create>Property Node>Strings? But Property Node isn't an option (see attached .jpg). How do I get a string property from this enum?

You can't get a property to a diagram constant.

I can think if two options

1) Wire the enum constant to a "format into string"

2) Change the constant to control, create the property node as you tried previously.

Option #1 is preferable.

have fun!
