    {  
        //[Required]  
        //[RegularExpression("([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z ]+)", ErrorMessage = "Only alphabets are allowed")]  
        public string Name { get; set; }  
         
        public int Id { get; set; }  
  
  
         
        public string EmailId { get; set; }  
  
       
        public string SupportType { get; set; }  
  
  
        public string Description { get; set; }

Hi,@Arnab

As you said,you need to hard code it.But it is hard to use Code first Migration to add a dropdown like this by default,so you can try to add the following code to your page.

<select asp-for="Requeststatus">  
    <option value="Active">Active</option>  
    <option value="In Progress">In Progress</option>  
    <option value="Resolved">Resolved</option>  
    <option value="Closed">Closed</option>  
    <option value="Waiting">Waiting</option>  
</select>  

Or you can try to set List<SelectListItem> type data in cshtml.cs file,and use asp-items in the dropdown:

[BindProperty]  
        public List<SelectListItem> RequeststatusList { get; set; }  
        public void OnGet()  
        {  
            List<string> l = new List<string> { "Active", "In Progress", "Resolved", "Closed", "Waiting" };  
            RequeststatusList = l.Select(x => new SelectListItem { Text = x, Value = x }).ToList();  
        }  

cshtml:

<select asp-for="Requeststatus" asp-items="@Model.RequeststatusList"></select>
