List values in Flow Designer are showing as sys_ids instead of Values

Hi,

First time creating a Flow in Flow Designer, want to send an email to interested parties about Failed Changes.

One of the Change columns I want to show on the email is the 'Region Affected' which is a Choice List of one to six regions.

The Regions are being returned as a list of sys_ids, rather than a list of text values.
Does this mean Choice Lists cannot be shown, or am I doing some thing wrong (as I suspect)?

Thanks!

In this case a simple way to go would be to first do a look up of all region records that is on the trigger record, then loop through all records, and store their display names in a Flow variable.
Once done, use the data in the Flow variable as input in your email action.

I've made a simple example for you to examine and alter it so that it fits your needs.

If you never got an answer to this, I figured out it works if you put the space after the variable (see image).
