not useful outside the context but

use App\Enums\WarrantyDurationSpan;

class DownloadRegularController extends Controller
{
    public function download(Repair $record)
    {
       ....
       $enumValue = WarrantyDurationSpan::getLabel($record->repairWarranty->duration_span)

...

use App\Enums\WarrantyDurationSpan;

class DownloadRegularController extends Controller
{
    public function download(Repair $record)
    {
       ....
       $enumValue = WarrantyDurationSpan::getLabel($record->repairWarranty->duration_span)

...

enum

... 
enum WarrantyDurationSpan: string implements HasLabel, HasColor, HasIcon
{
    case DAYS = 'Days';
    case MONTHS = 'Months';
    case YEARS = 'Years';
 

.....

... 
enum WarrantyDurationSpan: string implements HasLabel, HasColor, HasIcon
{
    case DAYS = 'Days';
    case MONTHS = 'Months';
    case YEARS = 'Years';
 

.....

value in $record->repairWarranty->duration_span == Days i've found this solution but please, tell me if there is a better way $dspan = match ($record->repairWarranty->duration_span->value) { 'Days' => WarrantyDurationSpan::DAYS->getLabel(), 'Months' => WarrantyDurationSpan::MONTHS->getLabel(), 'Years' => WarrantyDurationSpan::YEARS->getLabel(), };

You got enums wrong. You can call the method on the enum instance. ->duration_span->getLabel()
