Hi,

I have a web request that provides an enum value in a string (e.g. Submitted). When I have added this to the property mapping I expected that the “Submitted” value in the web request would map to the Enum String value “Submitted”. But this is not happening.

Any suggestions?

Enum:

Hello!

It seems like this is not a general bug, as it works when setting up a similar testcase.

Example test case:

1. using webhook.site to return the following:

```auto
{
"value": "Test"
}

```

1. An enum defined in Appfarm as follows:

2. A datasource with a property of data type “My test enum”

3. A web request as follows:  

Can you maybe try to add a runtime property (string) to the datasource of the result mapping, and map the TurnoverStatus to that property as well, to verify that “Submitted” is mapped? Or/and maybe a screenshot of your web request if it still doesn’t work?

Thanks for the quick response. Found the user error, the new status field was not selected in the get request 🙃
