Enum is cast when creating but not editing

I have the following model (simplified)

class Config extends Model
{
    protected $casts = [
     'config_type' => ConfigType::class,
    ];
}

class Config extends Model
{
    protected $casts = [
     'config_type' => ConfigType::class,
    ];
}

and the following form resource

public static function form(Form $form): Form
{
    return $form
        ->schema([
            Forms\Components\Select::make('config_type')
                ->required()
                ->default(ConfigType::MAPPER)
                ->live()
                ->enum(ConfigType::class)
                ->options(ConfigType::class),
            Forms\Components\Fieldset::make()
                ->statePath('config')
                ->schema(fn (Forms\Get $get) =>
                    dd($get('config_type')) // The problem is here
        ]);
}

public static function form(Form $form): Form
{
    return $form
        ->schema([
            Forms\Components\Select::make('config_type')
                ->required()
                ->default(ConfigType::MAPPER)
                ->live()
                ->enum(ConfigType::class)
                ->options(ConfigType::class),
            Forms\Components\Fieldset::make()
                ->statePath('config')
                ->schema(fn (Forms\Get $get) =>
                    dd($get('config_type')) // The problem is here
        ]);
}

In the above example, when I create a new Config, the $get('config_type') call returns and ConfigType enum as expected However, when I edit the resource, the same call returns a string (with the value of the enum) instead of an enum object as expected. Am I doing something wrong or is this just how filament works?

Solution:

it seems the issue is on your ->default() it should be ->default(ConfigType::MAPPER->value) you can keep the options(), it is already correct. no enum() needed. ...

This code defaults to an Object , but I think it sets a Key if selected.

PAss in the options too, what happens then? i.e. ->options(RiskGrade::class) ->enum(RiskGrade::class),

Not sure what you mean, I already have both in the example 🤔 I think it's the ->default(ConfigType::MAPPER) part that messes it up but I believed that's how it should work.

You shouldn’t need options() and enum() Passing the enum to the options should be enough.

Yeap, I only added to cover all cases. Anyway, it looks like it's just how filament works, so I'll handle it as a string
