DFF values are coming as code not description

Question

I am noticed in a client implementation that while in OTBI the Grade DFF brings the right values from description but the same DFF in FAIDP/FDI is bring the corresponding code rather than the description/value.

Anyone seen this behaviour?

Hi @JohnW-Oracle

Thank you for suggestion. I am shying  away from those customisation that should be working as standard feature. The SR could possibly be my SR as I did raise one lately. I haven't seen it before as if it works for OTBI it has worked for FDI/FAIDP. However it's not the case for the current client. So  there is either client config or the way FDI extracts the information has changed.

Hi @mgoswami

I saw a similar question recently in an internal ticket. If you have a SR open on this already, your issue may be too complex for a community response here. However, one idea to get the OTBI style description in FDI, is to add the description as a semantic-model extension rather than expecting the DFF mapper column itself to change from code to description. Hope that helps.
