I’m looking for the synthax and annotation in case of FormFieldType.SELECT, to enumerate possible value and default value

```java
@FormCategory("General")
@FormField(FormFieldType.SELECT)
@Label("...")
@Required
@DefaultValue("???")
@Description("...")
String Values,

```

Your field should be an enum type, not a String.
