Research direction

Start with the reproduction project linked in the issue and compare how the HydraAdmin and OpenApiAdmin components render a property configured with backed-enum values. Reproduce the plain-text field in HydraAdmin; done means the backed enum renders as a dropdown there, as it already does in OpenApiAdmin.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

API Platform version(s) affected: 3.1.1

Description
HydraAdmin component does not render an Enum type field as a dropdown selection. OpenApiAdmin component renders correctly.

How to reproduce
Create an entity and a backed Enum, set the backed enum as a property on the entity. Configure the property openapi context with enum and values from the backed enum.

API documentation properly shows the property as an enum on both schemas, however, when rendered with the HydraAdmin component it gets rendered as a plain text field.
