Why are my enum labels not being used in my table column?

I've got this enum class 
namespace App\Enums;

use Filament\Support\Contracts\HasLabel;

enum ApprovalType: string implements HasLabel
{
    case MILESTONE = 'milestone';
    case FINAL = 'final';

    public function getLabel(): ?string
    {
        return match ($this) {
            self::MILESTONE => 'Milestone Approval',
            self::FINAL => 'Final Sign-Off',
        };
    }
}
namespace App\Enums;

use Filament\Support\Contracts\HasLabel;

enum ApprovalType: string implements HasLabel
{
    case MILESTONE = 'milestone';
    case FINAL = 'final';

    public function getLabel(): ?string
    {
        return match ($this) {
            self::MILESTONE => 'Milestone Approval',
            self::FINAL => 'Final Sign-Off',
        };
    }
}
It's cast in the model... 
namespace App\Models;

use App\Enums\ApprovalType;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsTo;

class JobApproval extends Model
{
    protected function casts(): array
    {
        return [
            'type' => ApprovalType::class,
        ];
    }

    public function job(): BelongsTo
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Job::class);
    }

    public function approver(): BelongsTo
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Contact::class);
    }
}
namespace App\Models;

use App\Enums\ApprovalType;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsTo;

class JobApproval extends Model
{
    protected function casts(): array
    {
        return [
            'type' => ApprovalType::class,
        ];
    }

    public function job(): BelongsTo
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Job::class);
    }

    public function approver(): BelongsTo
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Contact::class);
    }
}
And my column is... 
Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('type'),
Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('type'),
I must have missed something simple, but I have no idea what.
Solution:
what about $casts instead of method? ```php protected $casts = [ 'type' => ApprovalType::class,...

Hello try something like: 
 ->formatStateUsing(fn($state) => $state instanceof ApprovalType ? $state->getLabel() : $state)
 ->formatStateUsing(fn($state) => $state instanceof ApprovalType ? $state->getLabel() : $state)

This looks ok to me and I would expect it to work.

what is showing in the TextColumn?
Glenn Jacobs
Glenn JacobsOP•2mo ago
final (ie. the raw value, not the label)

Your code is right. Do you have other enums that are working? Any customization in appserviceprovider? 
php artisan tinker

App\Models\JobApproval::first()->type;
php artisan tinker

App\Models\JobApproval::first()->type;
what is the output?

I think you're right. I must have been using the new syntax when it wasn't available. Well, I hope this thread helps someone else's sanity 🙂 Many thanks again
