You must put all the values in ENUM to another Entity, make it 1-* association with your existing entity and use Reference set selector.

ENUM and drop down will not be suitable for your requirement.

Elaborated response

- Lets say you have Recipe entity and Category entity

- 1 Recipe can belong to multiple Category (in the below example I used *-* for different reasons)

- You will have all the Category related data saved in your database

  • Like master table for all categories
  • For which you must create pages to enter and save your master data
  • You cant keep it as ENUM 

- In the page where you will associate Recipe and Category

  • Use reference set selector
  • Generate the Select page and set it properly

  • Set the attribute with the association between Recipe and Category
  • Within the select page for Category, you can have datagrid to show all categories from database and you can configure for simple multi-selection

  • When you save Recipe, it will save the associations as well
