I'm not so sure if this is already supported or not. But let's add some tests for that and they will tell us!

My suspicions were wrong, it is well supported. PR with test and docs: PR.

As we use
.choiceson the enum classes to return a list of tuples there isn't really any code to add to make this work AFAICT.So this perhaps could just be documented for forms pointing to the documentation at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/models/fields/#field-choices-enum-types
