Hello,

When you create an enum attribute in a project, it prompts you to choose where to store it.
"Process specification" or "Database".
Under the Note section in the knowledge center document, it says

If you store the enumeration in the database, you can add new values to the enumeration directly from the work item editor, even if you do not have permissions to modify the process specification. You still require permissions to add new values.

1. This note suggests that you can in fact "create" a new enum value rather than simply adding a new value to the work item. But this is not true, right?
   My understanding is that you can only new value of enum from the process configuration.
2. Does anyone know the difference here?
   

I have tested with 2 enum attributes. One stored in database and one stored in process specification.
Tried with an user with team member access (No "Modify the process specification" access) and I could "add" both of the enum type from the Web UI. So I am confused about the difference.

If lacks of information, please let me know.
