Add values() enum methods for Excel dynamic domains

Excel dynamic domains mimics Java Enum only in BOM area for virtual classes. It can be synchronized with excel.

It is sometimes needed to get the list of values from this domain to iterate on all the possibles domains.
It would be nice to have the ability the generates also a DynamicDomain[] values method each time a excel domain is created or synchronized.

This could be activated with a radio for cases when it is needed / unneeded.

    another idea related to this one would be to implement a Enum.label() that returns the label of the enumerated domain.
    Sometimes , this label is needed for information messages (as a string) but is lost.

    The use case from the customer where this feature is the following :
    - customer defines a enumerated excel dynamic domain
    - customer wants to use the "list of all values of that domain" in a ruleflow to iterate on all the domains.
    ex :

    definition
    set values to "all the values of the dynamic domain"

    then
    for each domain in "values" :

    • apply xxx using this domain
