Enum in TextEntry of InfoList

Hi, I have a model with an enum-property (cast) which I want to display in an infolist, but this gives me an Error:

TextEntry::make('model.enumProperty')

TextEntry::make('model.enumProperty')

this results in Object of class App\Enums\MyEnum could not be converted to string I don't mind converting the value e.g. using formatStateUsing on the TextEntry but the code already fails on the name. As a workaround I can do this, but this it's not very nice 🙂

TextEntry::make('model.created_at')
    ->formatStateUsing(static function (Model $model): string {
        ...
    }
}

TextEntry::make('model.created_at')
    ->formatStateUsing(static function (Model $model): string {
        ...
    }
}

Any idea?

Didn't find a solution to this problem, but I have a "workaround": use a ViewEntry, then load a table in a new livewire component within the view. In the table I can use TextColumn which has support for the enum.

->formatStateUsing(function (string $state) { return YourEnum::from($state); }), No problem

thanks for your reply but the state is already cast to an enum (by the model)

So you dont need to do anything right? With enums i add ->badge() almost always but should work out of the box ..? What is the error you get?
