Running the Report

May cause huge performance degradation to all schemas if enhancement to convert these Generic object internal IDs to Labels

It is by system design that fields from the position object, with 'generic object' data type are fetching numerical values instead of labels / descriptions in the Ad Hoc reports

It is not yet feasible to insert a code in the system to convert these internal IDs to reports as it will hugely impact or cause performance degradation when running the report.

Alternatively, if the options/values in this field are few, report users may export and use search and replace these internal IDs in Excel/Spreadsheet with the corresponding labels for offline reference.
