Is there a possibility to create dynamic enumerations?

10 views (last 30 days)
I like the enumeration class. For "normal programming" is works very nice. But sometimes it could be nice to change (mainly add) items in the enumeration list. This would be especially useful in combination with existing code (public and my own code).
So I wonder, is there a possibility of adding items to an enumeration, or creating an enumeration object dynamically (I mean without writing a classdef file)?

As per my knowledge, No, MATLAB does not support dynamic enumerations.They are really only for the benefit of compile time, as they represent a fixed set of constants, hence having them changed during runtime makes their use redundant.
