Using the "Strings" property of the Enum control/indicator for writing

[Guruthilak]

Populating values to the "enum" control is not possible by using the "strings" property node and hence to populate a large data to a "enum" one has to create a "Ring" control use the "strings" property and replace that "ring" with the enum (or if you have enough time enter them manually) .

So why not use the "Strings" property of "Enum" to write values to it directly..See the image attached

And it should be noted that this idea cannot be implemented. Enum strings are compiled into the VI as part of the data type. They cannot be changed while the VI is running.
