I have this enum with these possible values: client, coach, manager and I added a new value: coach_manager. Updating the enum went fine but if I now try to create a document with this new coach_manager value I get an 500 error back from Appwrite.
When I delete the attribute and recreate it with coach_manager as a value I don't get a 500 error. This isn't a solution for me because data is removed when I delete the attribute.
Summary
Issue: User is experiencing a 500 error after extending an enum with a new value in Appwrite.
Solution: This issue is a known problem and has been reported on GitHub. It seems that when adding a new value to an existing enum, creating a document with that new value causes a 500 error. One workaround is to delete the attribute and recreate it with the new value, but this will result in the loss of data.
