Newbie question: How to export questions with piped text so that the text is replaced?

I have questions that look like this: "What could be better about ${q://QID3/ChoiceDescription/2}?"

Both the Qualtrics reports and export of the data to csv show the piped text code, and not the actual text. How do I get the actual text?

Sorry, there is no out-of-box feature available for this...
@Mohammedali_Rajapakar_Ugam Thank you.

Wow, this seems like a huge functionality gap. What do people do to work around this? It seems impractical to name everything explicitly.

Once you export the data then you can replace the "piped-text" code with an actual choice label...if you have multiple choice then separate the choice label with "/"

"What could be better about choiceA/choiceB/choiceC?"

I am not sure if any other platform provides this functionality since its a question text and system will show the question text as is
Looks like using labels is a good workaround.
