how to use table ->defaultGroup with enum field?

I want to use the new v3 table group feature with a column casted to PHP enum, but seem unable, what are some ways I can do it? Code is something like $table->defaultGroup('status') where status is casted to enum

bump Some code example in my ListOrders As you can see, I do $record->status->value because my status is casted to a PHP Enum

public function table(Table $table): Table
    {
        return parent::table($table)
            ->defaultSort('id', 'desc')
            ->groups([
                'created_at',
                Group::make('status')
                    ->getTitleFromRecordUsing(fn (Order $record): string => $record->status->value),
            ]);
            //->defaultGroup('status')
    }

public function table(Table $table): Table
    {
        return parent::table($table)
            ->defaultSort('id', 'desc')
            ->groups([
                'created_at',
                Group::make('status')
                    ->getTitleFromRecordUsing(fn (Order $record): string => $record->status->value),
            ]);
            //->defaultGroup('status')
    }

having status as default group crashes, if i choose status as the group by choice, it crashes too Error message is Object of class App\Enums\OrderStatusEnum could not be converted to string

I dig deeper, the error is thrown at strval()

pocket.racerOP•16mo ago

i think because status is casted to php enum in my model, strval($order->status) throw that error. It doesn't matter that I specified ->getTitleFromRecordUsing(fn (Order $record): string => $record->status->value), The code does not reach that stage, it already fail at the Group::make('status') stage

So similarly i think the example in documentation will fail too. because if status does not pass strval() in Group::make('key') it crashes

i have also tried the following but same enum cannot convert to string error too. also at strval

use Illuminate\Contracts\Database\Query\Builder;

Group::make('status')
                    ->groupQueryUsing(fn (Builder $query) => $query->groupBy('status'))

use Illuminate\Contracts\Database\Query\Builder;

Group::make('status')
                    ->groupQueryUsing(fn (Builder $query) => $query->groupBy('status'))

i think fix will be if ($key instanceof Enum [is it backed enum or something else] ) { $key = $key->value; } in the getKey() method Hope it helps. Somebody can make a PR to filament table group to add this condition, im too shy to reveal my real name (& lazy to create an alternate github account). So i would just not use this feature on my site but if it affect u, u can make the fix i suggest above as a pr to filament, thanks!
