How to cast properties of array recursively in a Laravel Model

inside my model i have this:

protected $casts = [
    'fields' => 'array',
];

protected $casts = [
    'fields' => 'array',
];

where fields is an array like, stored in database as a json array:

[
    'type' => 3,
    ...
]

[
    'type' => 3,
    ...
]

where the type is an integer. this integer is a value from an enum so i try:

protected $casts = [
    'fields' => 'array',
    'fields.*.type' => FormFieldTypeEnum::class,
];

protected $casts = [
    'fields' => 'array',
    'fields.*.type' => FormFieldTypeEnum::class,
];

but it doesnt work also tried:

protected $casts = [
    'fields' => 'array',
    'fields.type' => FormFieldTypeEnum::class,
];

protected $casts = [
    'fields' => 'array',
    'fields.type' => FormFieldTypeEnum::class,
];

u know how to achieve it? also trying to understand it from the docs but not quite getting it - https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/eloquent-mutators#enum-casting
