❔ How do I display an enum in a DataGridComboBoxColumn?

<DataGrid Name="dataGrid"  ItemsSource="{Binding TaskVMs}" AutoGenerateColumns="False" SelectionMode="Single"
                      SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem, Mode=TwoWay}">
                    <DataGrid.Columns>
                        <DataGridTextColumn Header="Task Name" Width="250" Binding="{Binding Name, Mode=TwoWay}" />
                        <DataGridComboBoxColumn  Header="Priority" Width="200" 
                                SelectedItemBinding="{Binding Priority, Mode=TwoWay}"
                                ItemsSource="{Binding PriorityEnum}"/>
                        <DataGridTextColumn Header="Due Date" Binding="{Binding DeadLine, Mode=TwoWay}" Width="200" />
                    </DataGrid.Columns>
                    <DataGrid.ContextMenu>
                        <ContextMenu>
                            <MenuItem Header="Delete Task" Command="{Binding DeleteItemCommand}" />
                        </ContextMenu>
                    </DataGrid.ContextMenu>
                </DataGrid>

<DataGrid Name="dataGrid"  ItemsSource="{Binding TaskVMs}" AutoGenerateColumns="False" SelectionMode="Single"
                      SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem, Mode=TwoWay}">
                    <DataGrid.Columns>
                        <DataGridTextColumn Header="Task Name" Width="250" Binding="{Binding Name, Mode=TwoWay}" />
                        <DataGridComboBoxColumn  Header="Priority" Width="200" 
                                SelectedItemBinding="{Binding Priority, Mode=TwoWay}"
                                ItemsSource="{Binding PriorityEnum}"/>
                        <DataGridTextColumn Header="Due Date" Binding="{Binding DeadLine, Mode=TwoWay}" Width="200" />
                    </DataGrid.Columns>
                    <DataGrid.ContextMenu>
                        <ContextMenu>
                            <MenuItem Header="Delete Task" Command="{Binding DeleteItemCommand}" />
                        </ContextMenu>
                    </DataGrid.ContextMenu>
                </DataGrid>

Priority is an enum that looks like this

public enum TaskPriority
        {
            Low,
            Medium,
            High,
            None
        }

public enum TaskPriority
        {
            Low,
            Medium,
            High,
            None
        }
