Unable to set Smtp Type via UI about prefect-email

Thanks for reporting this. There will be an incoming UI upgrade; in the meantime, a work around is saving the value in quotes and stripping the quotes afterwards:

from prefect_email import EmailServerCredentials
email_credentials_block = EmailServerCredentials.load("testing")
email_credentials_block = email_credentials_block.smtp_server.strip('"')

Once the UI is updated, you can edit the existing block to drop the quotes and code to drop strip:

Thank you for the temporary workaround. Which UI update will include the fix?
For anyone else stumbling upon this, the following workaround works for me. Note that both smtp_server and smtp_type have to be stripped and reassigned.

email_server_credentials = EmailServerCredentials.load("my-mail-block")
email_server_credentials.smtp_server = email_server_credentials.smtp_server.strip('"')
email_server_credentials.smtp_type = email_server_credentials.smtp_type.strip('"')

I couldn't find the issue, but I believe @desertaxle talked to the UI team about this.
