Types have no overlap, but i have defined the type so that it does in fact have overlap
This is the error that i am getting
`This comparison appears to be unintentional because the types '"KVA"' and '"XYZ"' have no overlap.ts(2367)``
Why is this not working 🙂 ?

i also tried it with let but that does not change anything as ts knows that the value will never be redeclared

TESTTYPE will always be "KVA" based on that condition so you could also just:
