Controll filter Id to names

#1

Im having filed in my index type integer, which is type of document, and I would like to create filter on this field but instead of ints (1, 2, 3) I would like to have document type names, which I dont have in my index.

So I could have
type 1
type 2
type 3

instead of
1
2
3

Hello,

What does type refer to here? Is that another field in your index document or you want to just add type at the beginning of your integer field?

Thanks,

No I would like to have dropdown control like html select
where value is a value from index field, and description is set by me / or both are taken from outside resource.

Big picture is that I have logs where I have user id and would like to have list of users names rather than Ids so that my end users can use it
