Greetings!

Starting off, I'm just getting into Umbraco, so apologies if this is super obvious.

I have a radio button that selects different presentation configurations for the screen. I can see when I add elements to the radio button, Usync creates elements in their proper location, but when I set and attempt to retrieve values, they come back not as the alias Usync has, but rather an id that was incremented (I'm guessing) from how the CMS was created document and data types in the database.

    var umbracoHelper = new Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper(Umbraco.Web.UmbracoContext.Current);
    Node currentNode = Node.GetCurrent();
    Node currentHomeNode = new Node(int.Parse(currentNode.Path.Split(',')[1]));
    var currentHome = umbracoHelper.TypedContent(currentHomeNode.Id);

    //get the document type
    var settings = currentHome.Children.First(x => x.IsDocumentType("settings"));

    //get the value saved on the document type
    var idValue = settings.GetProperty("ThemeSelector").Value;

In this instance, IdValue is 527 instead of 3. (it's the third element in the Usync radio button)

How do I reconcile the id that Umbraco has assigned the radio button with the underlying Usync id or alias?
