Some nodes need input socket to change Enum option

Eg for glossy BSDF, there are drop down menu options GGX, Beckman, Sharp, Multi Scatter GGX

or for subsurface scattering nodes, we may hope to change Random walk ,Christensen burley (and other options)

but these drop down options do not have input socket to make switch which can change option. So when I use these node, as group nodes, I often need to duplicate same nodes, then use mix node and the factor connect as new input socket,, but it make more complex current node groups.

Then hope those nodes which have Enum proeprty, will have input socket which user connect E-num options, then. It will offer same drop down menu as group nodes E-num property Enumoption.JPG

I agree, I would really like to have an ENUM type of value for changing these sorts of things. it could just be the same as integer, to be honest, but hopefully it could grab labels from the socket it's connected to if you're using it for a group node
