How can I represent a polkadotjs type for a custom generic Enum?

Question

I'm uncertain how I can structure the generic variant of a polkadotjs type for an on-chain Enum that looks sort of like this:

#[derive(TypeInfo, Debug, Clone, Encode, Decode, PartialEq)]
pub enum MyEnum<T: Codec> {
    OptionA,
    OptionB(T),
}

I get down to my polkadotjs types and:

...
  MyEnum: {
    _enum: {
      OptionA: null,
      OptionB: '...???',
    },
  },

What should go in OptionB to represent the generic portion?

IIRC, there shouldn't be any generic. (I didn't use this anymore since metadata 14)

It must be an exact type.

"Balance": "u128"

You can't write "Balance": "T". Unless you tell it "T": "u128".

So, you need to check what is your T on the runtime level.
