How to Display the name of a enum not the id in cshtml?

Question

I have a enum like this:

using System.ComponentModel;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace eVote.Data.Enums
{
    public enum Positions
    {
        CEO =1,
        ProductManager,
         CTO,
         SalesManager,
        FinanceManager,
         HR,
        Accountant


    }
}

When i use this enum in a AddAsync function i use like this:

 <div class="form-group">
        <label asp-for="position">Function </label>
        <select asp-for="position" class="form-control" asp-items="Html.GetEnumSelectList<Positions>()" asp-for="position"></select>
       
    </div>

But, when i go to index, the position displayed is the id of position

<td>@candidate.position</td>

Any thoughts??

I test with following code,and it can work:

Model:

public class TestModel {
      
        public Positions position { get; set; }
    }
    public enum Positions
    {
        CEO = 1,
        ProductManager,
        CTO,
        SalesManager,
        FinanceManager,
        HR,
        Accountant


    }

action:

 public IActionResult B()
        {

            return View(new TestModel {  position=Positions.CEO });


        }

View:

@model TestModel 
<h1>@Model.position</h1>

result:

If it still doesn't work,try to check the type of position.
