Store API Poller Actual String Value vs Just Mapped Numeric Metric

SAM Version: 2020.2.1

When configuring values to monitor in an API poller, if the element value from the request is a string, you are forced to map the string to a numeric value. However, there are times when you need the actual string value for use on dashboards. How can we store the actual string value from the API request?
