I am making a modification to a large existing project

the existing project is a C# MVC project
It has a complex backend with a clearly well thought out architecture which i have been told not to change.

The Models (which do get passed to the views) are complex and one of the properties on the model is a list of people.

The list of people contains a name and an id

My task is to create a form on the front end which has a load of check boxes which list all of the people in the model.

It also needs to display a list of selected people as tabs (separate from the form)

To generate the check boxes i simply loop through the list of people and use the name as the display text and the id as the input fields value.

IN the back end (since i cant make modifications to the model) I capture the submitted data with a object and assign this objects properties to ViewBag.

Back in the front end the contents of ViewBag are used to print the list of selected people.

The problem is the ViewBag contains the ID's of the people not the Names.
(because the form submits the ID's)

At first I had a loop which prints every item in the ViewBag but this on its own only printed the ID's

To get the Names i have had to put a line in each iteration of the loop which selects a Person from the model where the id is equal to the ViewBag Value

I can then print that persons name rather than their ID

This sort of logic is the sort of thing which should go in the controller, but i cannot put the foreach loop there.

What would be a clean and appropriate way to handle this?
