Selecting property types not available in the select list

[Jonathan4083]

We are using several db contexts. One of the contains enums we want to use in the other contexts. Because the Type-Property of entities is restricted to the select list we specified the type directly in the .efmodel file. Is there any reason not to remove the restriction of the type field in the designer?

Not other than safety. The goal of the designer was to make it easier for people not familiar with Entity Framework to generate correct models.

That being said, there is an argument that we could add an option to allow this, with the installation default being false. I'll add that. It would be implemented in the VS2022 version
