List fields with select dropdown: match condition against "value" (not against text)

Hi.

I added a List field to a content-type (widget: Select List) named "Type of item". This field is rendered as:

<select>
<option value="current">Current blah"</option>
<option value="past">Past blah"</option>
</select>

In the other hand, I have a view with some fields that have to be hidden based on the value of "Type of item". For all those fields, I've created a "Views: conditional field" field with:

If "field_type_of_item" contains "Current" then display "XYZ" else display "".

(+ No results behaviour => [X] hide field if empty)

But the "contains" (or Is) comparison is done against the TEXT of the option, not against the "value" of the option. This means that I can't translate the strings "Current blah" and "Past blah" because then the field would not match.

Is there any way to make Views Conditional match against "current" and "past" (the values)?

Thanks.
