📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

getSelectOptionLabel now returns configured or translated labels directly. It uses the stored option value only as a fallback. Tests verify the updated behavior.

Changes

Select option label behavior

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update label resolution and tests packages/admin-portal/src/services/UserService.ts, packages/admin-portal/src/services/UserService.test.ts	getSelectOptionLabel returns descriptions without the stored option value prefix. Tests verify configured labels, translated labels, and fallback behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to 16d92

Whitespace-only labels can cause an admin dropdown to display a blank value instead of the stored option, creating a bounded editing usability issue; the PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit follow-up to preserve the fallback behavior.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the fallback for blank descriptions.

getSelectOptionDescription can return an empty string. A whitespace-only configured label is accepted, then trimmed to "". Because ?? does not treat "" as missing, the select can render a blank label instead of the stored option value.

Use a truthy fallback and add a regression test for blank descriptions.

Proposed fix

- return description ?? option+ return description || option
