For I uidropdown how do I specify numeric ItemsData within App Designer?

When creating a uidropdown within App Designer I can input numeric values as ItemsData, however the numeric values are converted to character data within the code that is created. How do I specify numeric ItemsData?

   Value = app.SystemCertsDropDown.Value;
   A = app.SystemCertsDropDown.Items;
   AppData.N = find(strcmp(A,Value),1); 
   disp(AppData.N);
