Display name for Dashboard Variables vs actual values

Hi, I am setting up some Read Only dashboards for customers for their data, and I want them to be able to choose from a bucket that has recent, full res data and one thats been downsampled for long term historical data. But rather than show them choices of “telegraf” or “telegraf_downsample10” (which are the bucket names) I want them to see in the list “recent” and “historical” which when they select, I then query from those influxdb 2.x data sources. What is the best way to do this in grafana ?

perfect, thats exactly what I was looking for!!

Internally its fine for us to dynamically fill the selection menu, but for customer graphs I feel I want to keep a level of opacity I guess. Aliases would be nice for sure
