It's still not clear how to filter by enum property

[TooMuchLagWillKillYou]

I know that in previous versions of OData we could filter a collection using the numeric representation of an enum, like in this example:

// assuming that the object has a "Status" property of type enum
http://localhost:5000/Controller/Action?$top=10&$skip=0&$filter=(Status eq 1)

But now this seems to be impossible to do since I get this error:

Microsoft.OData.ODataException: A binary operator with incompatible types was detected. Found operand types '_namespace._Status' and 'Edm.Int32' for operator kind 'eq'.

I have been looking for documentation on the topic for the past two days and couldn't find a single line of code that was helpful.
My scenario is this: I have migrated a large web application from .NET Framework 4.7 to .NET 6 with the front end being developed with React. Many sections of this application query a list filtered by a "Status" property which is of type enum.

I know that if I could pass the string representation of the enum it would work but this requires editing a lot of components and I cannot do it.

I tried implementing StringAsEnumResolver, but that didn't change a thing. I have also tried to implement a CustomStringAsEnumResolver because I noticed that the methodPromoteBinaryOperandTypes()doesn't care if one of the operands is an enum, but the debugger doesn't even hit the breakpoint I put in this class.

How can we solve or workaround this?
