Cause

This issue is caused by the setup of the section. When the section is configured with no-weight="true" or in Manage Templates the option "Include the ability to enter in a weight" has been disabled. Please see below examples:

no-weight="true"

"Include the ability to enter in a weight" is disabled.

or enable the setting "Include the ability to enter in a weight" in the affected Section under Manage Templates

Running the Ad hoc report with these settings will populate the Section Weight

Note: Changing the configuration of the form template with either of the options above will have no effect on already launched forms.

For these changes to take effect the PM forms need to be launched with the updated template.
