Comment:

 Sounds like a good enhancement!

 I think using the `description` column sounds like a good idea for this.

 > or we could simply provide an optional 2nd field for each option

 The `value:description` syntax seems too technical for me.

 So the second field option sounds like the right way to go.  Perhaps make
 this a toggleable field so it isn't shown at first to avoid cluttering up
 the UI.  Could use some other feedback from UI mavens, @hnla and @mercime,
 as well.

 If you feel comfortable tackling this, we can look to include this in BP
 2.6.  We'll help you along the way if you need any help.
