## Expected behavior

We migrated columns to the “Enum” type (in our table companies, call vat\_frequency and operational\_status). We would expect that our Edit widget (the dropdown) that was working fine before would still work and allow us to select the value we want in the summary view.

## Actual behavior

We can’t use the dropdown edit widget : either a non-selectable value or a blank option is shown and does not allow us to choose a value.

## Context

Our .forestadmin-schema.json seems up-to-date :

`"field": "operationalStatus", "type": "Enum", "defaultValue": "to_do", "enums": ["to_do", "booster", "ongoing", "documents", "to_be_verified", "to_be_sent", "to_be_modified", "sent"],`

Please provide any relevant information about your setup.

Hey @dmngrndjn 👋

I just had a call with Thierry and we looked into this.

Long story short, your ALTER VALUE in the display settings of your enum were in conflict with your recent migration.

Deleting the altered value fixes this.

Let us know if that helps!
