3434557 - When displaying the BW hierarchy as description, an additional ID column appears in View Mode.

Symptom

When opening a story in View Mode, if displaying the BW hierarchy as description in a table, another column displaying IDs will appear (the IDs are not from the BW hierarchy).

 

Environment

SAP Analytics Cloud 2023.21.16 and higher.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the story.
  2. In Edit Mode, the table looks fine.
  3. In View Mode, the additional ID column appears. 
  4. Click to collapse the node, the additional column disappears.
  5. This behavior is not observed when using Flat Presentation, it only happens when using the BW hierarchy.

Cause

This is due to lack of the persisted InA enhancement.
