I have a bot builder project using a form flow dialog which is working fine except for a problem with recognising the response to the selection of an enum.
[Serializable]
public class ContactBot
{
[Template(TemplateUsage.EnumSelectOne,"How do you like to be addressed - {||}", "Please select a title to address you by - {||}")]
public TitleBot? Title { get; set; }
[Prompt("What's your first name?", FieldCase = CaseNormalization.InitialUpper)]
public String FirstName { get; set; }
[Prompt("and your last name?", FieldCase = CaseNormalization.InitialUpper)]
public String LastName { get; set; }
[Prompt("I'll need your email address to confirm the appraisal")]
[Pattern(RegexConstants.Email)]
public String Email { get; set; }
[Prompt("and a phone number, preferably a mobile, to contact you to arrange an appointment")]
[Pattern(RegexConstants.Phone)]
public String Phone { get; set; }
public static IForm<ContactBot> BuildContactForm()
{
return new FormBuilder<ContactBot>()
.Message("Firstly, can you give me some detail about yourself?")
.Field(nameof(Title))
.Field(nameof(FirstName))
.Field(nameof(LastName))
.Field(nameof(Email))
.Field(nameof(Phone))
.Confirm("You have provided the following: \r\r Name: {Title} {FirstName} {LastName} \r\r Email: {Email} \r\r Phone: {Phone} \r\r Is this correct? ")
.Build();
}
and the enum
public enum TitleBot
{
Mr,
Mrs,
Ms,
Miss,
Dr
}
When I select Ms, Miss or Dr, the bot accepts this as a valid option and moves to the next prompt. However, when I select Mr or Mrs, I am asked to choose between Mr and Mrs and whatever I choose results in a Mr (or Mrs) is not a title option - What is happening?

I was able to differentiate between Mr and Mrs using the Terms attribute.
public enum TitleBot
{
[Terms("Mr")]
Mr=1,
[Terms("Mrs")]
Mrs,
Ms,
Miss,
Dr
}
