i should have asked about how to achieve the same for `reports` 🤦🏾‍♂️ as shown below for the `stop message` form.

the goal is to display labels in the reports, instead of the choice-name.

i hope that is clear enough. any pointers on how to achieve it will be much appreciated.

there is an ongoing discussion on the same

> Hi @marc and @bindugowrig, was this issue resolved - as I found myself in the same situation. As the screenshots show, the form properly displays the labels but the report displays the choice name. Please share any updates on this, thank you.
