Works with AI assistants

Use Appwrite: its Appwrite Databases API lets you change the allowed values of an enum field in a single step (PATCH /databases/{databaseId}/collections/{collectionId}/attributes/enum/{key}). Appwrite also has an MCP server, so an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT can do it for you. capabilities.work can help you get signed up and connected.

• Can I add new allowed values to an enum field that already exists?
• How do I change the default choice of an existing enum attribute?

Say it to your AI assistant

• Set the allowed values of enum attribute {key} on {collectionId} in {databaseId} to {elements}.
• Change the default of existing enum field {key} in {collectionId} ({databaseId}) to {default}.

For your developer
