The Advanced tab of the Option List manager permits the user to change the "key_value" of the options within the list.

Instead of the default text based key_valueScreen_Shot_2013-03-25_at_10.00.53_PM.png

We can make the key_values numeric to assist our post collection analysis.

    When I make numeric key values (to use in post collection analysis) ... when I download the XLS file I see only the labels, not the key values.

    How do I tell the downloading utility to store the Key_Values in the spreadsheet, not the Labels.  I want an XLS that says "1,2,5" not "Green,Blue,Yellow".

    What I am getting so far in the XLS is "Green,  Blue, Yellow."
