Michael Bolz commented on OLINGO-803:
-------------------------------------

Hi [~bjnwagner],

The reason is that the [OData specification (10.1 Element edm:EnumType)|http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata/v4.0/errata02/os/complete/part3-csdl/odata-v4.0-errata02-os-part3-csdl-complete.html#_Toc406397994] defines:
{quote}
An enumeration type MAY include an UnderlyingType attribute to specify an underlying type whose value MUST be one of Edm.Byte, Edm.SByte, Edm.Int16, Edm.Int32, or Edm.Int64
{quote}

Best Regards,
Michael

> Why is there currently no support for string values as underlying enum type? The current implementation only supports Byte, SByte, Int16, Int32 and Int64 types.
