Show label but use code in Configuration

Hi all,

I want to show another value then I’ll use later in a configuration. Is there an easy way I might not be aware of right now.

Here’s my case:

I have a table with codes and values. In this case, the U.S. states. This data comes from an API, and I need the code for my next API call.

How can I show the state names to the user but write the code in a variable? Do I need to show the name and use the selection of a Value Selection Configuration to then filter the table and get the code into another variable, or is there a faster way?
