How do I Update a SharePoint Choice column with values that don't match the Item choices in PowerApps?

I am designing a questionnaire in PowerApps and the choices are Never, Often, Sometimes All the time. However I don't want the options to be visible to form a table

To evenly space out the radio buttons I have set the Items of the Radio control to 
["Option1","Option2","Option3","Option4"] and hidden them using Transparent Color Text.

I now want the Update property of the Datacard in the form to write back the correct value to SharePoint list so have set it to 

 

If(Radio1.Selected.Value="Option1",{Section1ExplainTasksClearly: {Value:"Never"}},Radio1.Selected.Value="Option2",{Section1ExplainTasksClearly: {Value:"Sometimes"}},Radio1.Selected.Value="Often",{Section1ExplainTasksClearly:{Value: "Average"}},Radio1.Selected.Value="Option4",{Section1ExplainTasksClearly:{Value: "All the time"}})

I have also tried 

If(Radio2.Selected.Value="Option1",{Section1ProvideSupport: "Never"},Radio2.Selected.Value="Option2",{Section1ProvideSupport: "Sometimes"},Radio2.Selected.Value="Often",{Section1ProvideSupport: "Average"},Radio2.Selected.Value="Option4",{Section1ProvideSupport: "All the time"})

 

This does not give me an error when submitting the form but it does not write back the selected option to the SharePoint list.

 

Any ideas please? Thanks

    I have just found the answer elsewhere

    If(Radio1.Selected.Value="Option1",{'@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
    Value:"Never"},Radio1.Selected.Value="Option2",{'@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
    Value:"Sometimes"},Radio1.Selected.Value="Often",{'@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
    Value:"Average"},Radio1.Selected.Value="Option4",{'@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
    Value:"All the time"})
