Clearly it isnt supported then - at least not through Martconfigurator.

Something for the TODO list in the near future, i agree that its definitely a nice feature that needs to be implemeneted.

I wanted to do this as well and couldn't find a way to change the displayName

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?

You can change the title of filters (e.g singleselect filters or multiselect)

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
