Hello,

i tried using an normal Enum instead of a Textchoice in my Django-
Template. I created a therefore simple tag which gets an
enum(ModuleKind.SCHADENSANALYSE) and some other inputs. This resulted in
getting an empty string string instead of an Enum. Searching for a way to
solve this problem i stumbled upon
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35953132/how-to-access-enum-types-in-
django-templates, which suggested a hack.

{{{
{% module_info_tiles user ModuleKind.SCHADENSANALYSE versdb_1_host
"servicebots/index.html?bot_id=1327" "Schadenanalyse" %}
}}}

Digging a little bit deeper, the same issue happend for enum types for
another ticket: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/31154

The solution would be the same as in the previous ticket, making the Enum
not callable in templates.

Best Regards
David

Comment:

Unlike Django's choices enum subclasses that we were able to adjust in
#31154, Python's Enum type isn't something we can add attributes to in
Django.

The decorator suggestion on the SO thread seems like a way to go. (Equally
you can add the attribute by hand in e.g. `get_context_data`).
