Zapier Cli - Setting choices on outputFields does show value, not displaytext

I have an outputField "mchoice2". This is the definition of the outputField:

[{"label":"mchoice2","choices":{"m":"Mac OS","w":"Windows 10"},
"type":"text","key":"mchoice2","required":false,"help_text":""}]

My request returns:

{ mchoice2: 'm' }

But UI shows an "m" instead of "Mac OS". Is it normal behaviour or is there anything wrong in my definition?

David here, from the Zapier Platform team.

That's working as intended. As the schema notes, choices is a map of value to label. So while users see Mac OS (which, as a total pedantic sidenote, should be macOS), the value that comes through in later steps is m. You can reverse these or set it up differently depending on the type of behavior you want.

​Let me know if you've got any other questions!
