Adding different display name to enum with ui-Schema

What is your question?

We are auto-generating our base json-schema files directly from a (graphql) API schema. So enums there are not meant for human consumption and need labels.

We use ui-Schema to augment the generated json-schema files with all necessary presentation layer things (titles, order, etc). The only thing that we dont manage to do is give enums new labels.

How can we approach this?

I don't think you can do that today, the only ways to label an enum are using oneOf/title or the deprecated & nonstandard enumNames property in the JSON Schema (docs).

The reason we deprecated enumNames is because it's a nonstandard JSON Schema field. I think it could be useful to have a similar feature added to the uiSchema. We'd be happy to review a PR if you are interested in contributing this feature!
