Custom attribute presentation name should match 100% exactly same in the 'Edit Column Formula' of a

Organization Name
Internal Oracle - My Oracle Support internal Analytics
Description
OTBI Subject Area extended attribute reporting has some confusion. In the presentation layer, custom column displayed as 'Display Name' for example "Service Request Extension"."Account Classification". Try editing the column formula it is showing with Extension Attribute("Service Request Extension"."Extension Attribute Character 015").
In the report, if we change the Column Heading then there is no easy way to find which presentation attribute was used in the formula. We have many extended columns it will be a nightmare to remember all. Ideally, the presentation column name should match exactly the same with the column formula.
Please take a look at the attached screen.
Use Case and Business Need
a) Create a report with any extended attributes
b) edit column heading and column formula and use case statement or add any expression
c) save the report.
d) open the report from catalog
e) edit the column formula:
Now we will not be able to tell which presentation column was used in the column formula.
