How to store String Enums with Realm

Question

I can't save data as enum in Realm. When I track the state of a variable, and save, the old value remains, instead of the new one. What am I doing wrong?

I used a setter and a getter, but still the problem is not solved.

import RealmSwift

class Transaction: Object {

var accounting: Accounting = .income
@objc dynamic var amount = 0
@objc dynamic var date = ""
@objc dynamic var note = ""

private var privateCategory: String = Category.noCategories.rawValue
var category: Category {
    get { return Category(rawValue: privateCategory)! }
    set { privateCategory = newValue.rawValue }
  } 
}

enum Category: String {
   case noCategories = "No сategories"
   case food = "Food"
   case cafesAndRestaurants = "Cafes And Restaurants"
   case manufacturedGoods = "Manufactured Goods"
   case forceMajeure = "Force Majeure"
   case entertainment = "Entertainment"
}

When I try to save a property, the Сategory is saved by default("No categories")

let transactionOne = Transaction()
    transactionOne.accounting = .consuption
    transactionOne.amount = 250
    transactionOne.category = .food

transaction privateCategory String "No categories"

As seen from all the examples in the Realm guide , string properties that you want to persist are marked with @objc dynamic . So you should mark privateCategory as @objc dynamic too:

@objc dynamic var privateCategory: String = Category.noCategories.rawValue
