How does one build a select box with values and text?

How does one build this with the select (bootstrap) control?

<select>
  <option value="12833">Volvo</option>
  <option value="88337">Saab</option>
  <option value="7372">Mercedes</option>
  <option value="9292">Audi</option>
</select>

The additem method only adds the item and does not offer a way to set the text property.

Easy enough to add items, and the examples reference a text property but does not show how to set it for each item to be added to the control dynamically (or manually) in the select control. I need to present text to the user but then the value returned to the program is the integer.

There isn’t a good way to do this now. I notice this was possible with jQuery Mobile’s Select. We need to add this features to Bootstrap as well. Should be soon.

The new feature was just released in AppStudio 7.2. Here’s more info:
