Using "Value differentiates from label"

When you toggle on "Value differentiates from label", your option name lets you show one thing to the user while storing a different value behind the scenes

Example:  "Print Status" might have numbers like 100, 200, 300, but users see labels like Stock, Reorder, and Print. The values are stored, but the names are shown.
