Cannot set values on uuid or enum fields in Postgres using TypeORM

I've been stuck on this for a good hour, and unfortunately can't find anything relevant in the docs.

I'm unable to set values on fields that use types like enum or uuid. For instance:

export enum PhotoStatus {
  WORKING = 'WORKING',
  DONE = 'DONE'
}

export class Photo {
  @PrimaryGeneratedColumn()
  id: number:
  
  @Column()
  size: string;

  @Column({
    type: 'enum',
    enum: PhotoStatus,
    default: PhotoStatus.WORKING,
  })
  status: PhotoStatus;
}

But when I try to create a new record, like so:

  const photo = new Photo();
  photo.size = 'huge';
  photo.status = PhotoStatus.DONE;
  await connection.manager.save(photo);

It throws an error:

BadRequestException: ERROR: column "status" is of type content_status_enum but expression is of type character varying
  Hint: You will need to rewrite or cast the expression.

This happens for uuid columns too.
