When using Past Direct Mapping for a field of a MDF Object the data doesn't appear or appears broken in the document generated.

• SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central all versions 
• SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite all versions

1. Navigate to Manage Data;
2. In first dropdown select the object of interest;
3. In the second dropdown select an employee;
4. There are more than one record for the employee;
5. Check that there is a Past Direct Mapping for an object field in the Document Generation Template;
6. In the document generated the previous value of the field doesn't appear in document generated or it appears broken.

Expected Behavior. The system only retrieves active records and the records which are not pending while fetching the data for the placeholder, so it only retrieve the data of the current record.
