Hi Calle,

the value type of option sets do refer to the codes of the options within
the option set.

In the data entry apps, for data elements with option sets, we do store the
codes of the options (not the name) in the database. Also, the value type
of the data element is inherited from its option set. This ensures that the
data values stored for a data element matches the value type of the data
element (and its option set).
