Multi selection of query parameters with array of enum

Content & configuration

Swagger/OpenAPI definition:

openapi: 3.0.0

version: 0.0.1
paths:
/something:
  post:

          items:
            type: string
            enum:
              - number

              - boolean
              - date

Is your feature request related to a problem?

With the above configuration, I will get a form in the swagger ui like this:

While this works to select single or multiple enum values, I cannot select the same value multiple times. It basically just allows sending a set of values. But in my case, there is the use-case of sending, e.g., a combination like this number,number,string,string as query parameters. But the UI does not let me select this - while it would be supported by the openapi spec and by the backend.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to specify that I want to have duplicates in my enum array and specify an order, which should give me a UI similar to what happens, when I would just use a plain string instead of enum in my schema. Like here:

I could not find anything in the docs, that would configure this.

Describe alternatives you've considered

My current workaround is to accept any string and parse it in the backend - without providing a proper schema in the openapi spec. But I would like to change that :)

We have also recently encountered this limitation(((

As a temporary solution, we simply ignore the current display of this parameter in Swagger UI.

Is this problem addressed? I am also facing the same issue.

Hi there, I have the same problem using "swagger-ui-dist": "^5.20.0".
In my case, the select dropdown doesn't even work. I click on it but nothing happens.

👀 bump.
I would like to see something line this:
@parameter(name = "partnerTypes",
description = "Filter by partner types",
schema = @Schema(type = "array",
items = @Schema(type = "string",
allowableValues = {"Z", "X",
"Y", "V"}))),
