2698702 - OVS Input Field is Displaying Code Instead of the Description

Symptom

On UI Designer, you have added a OVS to a screen, and you expect the Description to be shown, but its showing the code.

*Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

  • UI Designer
  • SAP Hybris Cloud for Customer
  • SAP Business ByDesign

Cause

If presentation Mode is "DescriptionOnly" and the Text field is missing, then the ID will be shown on UI.

Resolution

Text property should be set for Description, as presentation Mode "DescriptionOnly" will receive the value from the field set in Text property. If this property is missing, the ID will be shown.
