+# Make lists of models and enums work correctly in custom templates
+
+Lists of model and enum classes should be available to custom templates via the Jinja
+variables `openapi.models` and `openapi.enums`, but these were being passed in a way that made
+them always appear empty. This has been fixed so a custom template can now iterate over them.
+
+Closes #1188.
