When outputting HelpText, the following code will correctly list valid values for enum type options. However, if the option is a nullable enum type, then it will not list the valid values.

parserResult.WithNotParsed(errors =>
{
    // Use custom help text to ensure valid enum values are displayed
    var helpText = HelpText.AutoBuild(parserResult);
    helpText.AddEnumValuesToHelpText = true;
    helpText.AddOptions(parserResult);
    Console.Error.Write(helpText);
    Environment.Exit(1);
});

Is this a bug, or is there another setting/workaround for nullable enums?

I'm having the same issue. Are there any plans to address this?

Can you try the nuget package in Appveyor ci for test CommandLineParser.2.6.0-93-Dev.nupkg
