What should I name an enum describing whether a field is hidden, optional, or required?

Question

I have a control with a bunch of fields that I want a user to be able to configure.

I originally had this:

    public bool Phone1Visible;
    public bool Phone1Required;

Then realized that I didn't want to deal with having to validate again hidden required fields, so I came up with this:

public enum YOUR_NAME_HERE
{
    Hidden,
    Optional,
    Required
}

What would you name this enum? I was thinking "FieldCriticality", but that sounds a little wordy.

Suggestions welcome.

Answer 1

I would use FieldState.

Answer 2

I would go by FieldType

public enum FieldType
{
    Hidden,
    Optional,
    Required
}

Answer 3

I would use FieldValidation, as a descriptive title of how you wish to use this enum.

Answer 4

I would use FieldProperty or FieldAttribute

Answer 5

Maybe FieldModifier or FieldInteraction would suit you?

Answer 6

Status

As simple as it gets.

Then you'd get

public Status Phone1Visible;
public Status Phone1Required;

which seems very readable and explanatory, expeciaally when popping up with Intellisense

Answer 7

How about FieldMode? I think “mode” helps convey that this isn't to do with the value of the field, or how the user is currently interacting with it.
