I wanted to do this as well and couldn't find a way to change the
displayName of dropdown box values in the martconfigurator interface.
However, I could directly edit the XML and set the displayName attribute
to be different to the internalName, thus showing a human-readable value
in the web frontend dropdown, but allowing the backend to do a more
logical query against the database.
Hope that helps?
Ellen.

You can change the title of filters (e.g singleselect filters or
multiselect) by changing the display name.
Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I was not mentioned the display name of
the filter itself, but the actual values the user can choose from. As
far as I can tell, in the "/Filter Dropdown Dialog/" popup, when you
add a new item, the value of the item is also what is displayed on the
web page. I was wondering if the value that is displayed could be
associated with a different internal value. For instance for boolean
filter, it is displayed on the page "/only/" or "/excluded/". But
internally, those correspond to 0 and 1. I was wondering if something
similar was possible with /single/multiselect/ filters
Thanks
Thomas
