Symptom
You observe that a field created whose data type comes from a Business Configuration Code List in SAP Cloud Applications Studio displays the value as Code instead of Description.
"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental."
Environment
- SAP Cloud for Customer
- SAP Business ByDesign
- SAP Cloud Applications Studio
Reproducing the Issue
- Login to the tenant.
- Navigate to the screen where the field is configured.
- You will see the values are displaying as codes as shown in the below screenshot.
Cause
While defining the BCO, you have used the Field type as Attribute instead of Description.
Resolution
You should choose the Field Type as Description if you want the description text to display in the UI.
Note: After the solution is assembled, a field type change is not allowed, due to maintenance mode.
