I would like to add a custom description to an enum field. I tried the following code
from enum import Enum
from pydantic import BaseModel
class BasicEnum(Enum):
e1 = "E1"
e2 = "E2"
class ModifiedEnum(BasicEnum):
"""
This is really an enum!!!
"""
class PydandicObject(BaseModel):
enum_field: ModifiedEnum
However, this returns the following error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tmp_enum.py", line 9, in <module>
class ModifiedEnum(BasicEnum):
