Hi there,

I noticed an apparent inconsistency with the GetParticipantOptions endpoint. When running, it is returning the option_value as a long alphanumeric value (see in the screenshot below on the righthand side) but in the example JSON, it should be the plain text value, such as "Chicken dinner." Can you please let me know if this is a bug or if I'm misunderstanding things?

    I just dived into the Participant Options API last month. You can get the name of each if you pull on the List Event Participation Options. Then I stored the option ID in a variable. Pull on List Participant Options and if they have that Option ID you know they have that option. I also had Co-Pilot give me a Lookup way to find the value if it was in a list. Can you explain further if you're having any issues? I can paste some of my flow.

    The API is not very easy but you can get the option_value.

    Hey @Carol Grant. Thanks! I was going to try and do that, only if I needed to. Since the example documentation appears to have the value stored correctly here but isn't returning it correctly, I was more wondering from the Blackbaud team @Stephen Boyle what is wrong? The documentation? Or the results?
