Cause

You have used a field id other than the pre-defined standard field id for description which is desc

Example: <field-definition id="description" type="textarea" required="false" detail="false" viewdefault="on" showlabel="false">

Resolution

The field id desc is reportable by default, however if you used another field id for description (such as the example above) you will need to treat it like a custom reportable field.

Example: <field-definition id="description" type="textarea" required="false" detail="false" viewdefault="on" showlabel="false" reportable="field20">

Please see the KBA 2353207 and Wiki Article for further details on how to make custom field reportable within Career Development Planning.
