This allows you to display choices to the user that correspond to different underlying values. For example, the user could choose a Product Name (e.g. `Kitty Litter`), but the value is actually the Product Id (e.g. `687y9878g`).

In our Template Approval app, I can choose between canned responses. The choice items are displayed by their `Code`, but the values are long `Message` values:

YES!

### YES!

## YES!

# YES!

I had asked for this feature only a couple months ago. This solves SO many issues! Thanks for implementing our requests!!!

- User privacy! Display is name but value is email!
- Products! Display is name but value is SKU!
- Emoji! Display is icon but value is keyword!

So many possibilities!
