<ul></ul><p>I'm having this exact issue and it pretty much renders key/value pairs useless. My data exports only contain internal IDs, which are completely meaningless. Over the Web interface there is obviously a way to retrieve which value is hidden behind an intenal ID, but there's no way to retrieve this via the API.</p>
<p>What this means is that when I export data over the REST API, I only get arbitrary database IDs (which may change when reinstalling a new instance). The only workaround for now is to not use these field types or to have a hard mapping somewhere that just magically 'knows' what database IDs correspond to which field value (yuck!).</p>
<p>It would be greatly appreciated if there were a way to retrieve what the actual value is (just dump them in the journals would work! no additional call needed) so that no admin privileges are needed.</p>
