I saw [this topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/with-search-ui-how-to-change-view-of-the-facet-options/312038) asking how to custom facet labels in Search UI, and I figured out a way to do that, and thought I would share. p.s. you should consider not closing topics in only 28 days. In tech forums, people may come across issues months, or even years later.

Basically, I have a custom facet, and I call a function that basically looks up a pre-defined list of labels for any given value. e.g.

```auto
<span className="sui-multi-checkbox-facet__input-text">
    {getFilterValueDisplay(option.value)}
</span>

```

and getFilterValueDisplay() is a custom function that just holds a bunch or if statements (or however you like to look up your data).
