I am currently working on a processing script for QGIS. In the function def initAlgorithm() I am defining several parameters. One of the parameters is using QgsProcessingParameterEnum with a pre-defined list:

# Function to initialize the algorithm/tool def initAlgorithm(self, config=None): self.addParameter( QgsProcessingParameterEnum( "CHOICE_LAYER", 'Title', options=['A', 'B'], defaultValue='A' ) )

This works so far and I can select the values in the GUI. The problem is in the further processing of the selection. In the function processAlgorithm() I try to get the value from the GUI by using the following lines.

def processAlgorithm(self, parameters, context, feedback): # Get value from the GUI choice = self.parameterAsString(parameters, "CHOICE_LAYER", context) print(f"{choice }")

This is also works, but returns the index position of the value from the choice list. So selecting "A" returns 0 and selecting "B" returns 1.

Is there a way to get the "real" value and not only the index?

I also tried self.parameterAsEnumString() but this only returns every time the value "A"...

Set usesStaticStrings=True when you create the parameter:

class ExampleProcessingAlgorithm(QgsProcessingAlgorithm): # etc... def initAlgorithm(self, config=None): self.addParameter( QgsProcessingParameterEnum( "CHOICE_LAYER", 'Title', options=['A', 'B'], defaultValue='A', usesStaticStrings=True #<----------- here ) ) def processAlgorithm(self, parameters, context, feedback): # Get value from the GUI choice = self.parameterAsString(parameters, "CHOICE_LAYER", context) print(f"{choice}") # etc.....

enter image description here

Alternatively, you could create a list of the choices and assign it to an instance attribute then use the index to get the string value, e.g.

class ExampleProcessingAlgorithm(QgsProcessingAlgorithm): # etc... def initAlgorithm(self, config=None): self._CHOICE_LAYER = ["A", "B"] # <==== instance attribute self.addParameter( QgsProcessingParameterEnum( "CHOICE_LAYER", 'Title', options=self._CHOICE_LAYER, defaultValue=self._CHOICE_LAYER[0] ) ) def processAlgorithm(self, parameters, context, feedback): # Get value from the GUI choice = self.parameterAsInt(parameters, "CHOICE_LAYER", context) # <===== param as int print(f"{choice} {self._CHOICE_LAYER[choice]}") # etc.....
