Generator labels do not show up

[shadow1349]

Current Behavior

I was trying to create a custom generator with a dropdown and I noticed that only values appear. I tried this:

    "type": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Provide the library type",
      "x-prompt": {
        "message": "Which type of library would you like to generate?",
        "type": "list",
        "items": [
          {
            "value": "da",
            "label": "Data Access"
          },
          {
            "value": "f",
            "label": "Feature"
          },
          {
            "value": "s",
            "label": "State Management"
          }
        ]
      }
    }

and got this:

This is even apparent for other things like the Angular application generator.

Expected Behavior

I want the labels to appear instead of the values

I think this works properly on the CLI. Going to transfer to nx console repo to investigate the UI issue.

Hey! Yeah this is a known issue currently :) The thing is, it would complicate things in the code quite a bit because ultimately you'll still have to pass the values to the CLI.

We're going to get around to fixing it eventually but not 100% sure when. If you're interested in helping out with a contribution to get it updated more quickly, I'd love to help too.

Thanks for the reply! If I have some time, I will definitely take a look.

[MaxKless]

we're probably going to tackle it quite soon, actually. Lmk if you end up taking a look so we don't duplicate work.
