3632610 - Variable prompt display change is not persisted in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

The following behavior occurs in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC):

• There is an attempt to change the value help display to show both ID and Description, however after reopening the story, the display preference is not kept.
• By default, this setting is always showing Description.

• SAP Analytics Cloud All Versions
• BW Live Connection

1. Log on to SAC.
2. Open story.
3. Open variable prompt.
4. On one of the variables, open the member selection window.
5. Notice that by default, the description display is selected.
6. Modify display to ID and description.
7. Select OK.
8. Save the story.
9. Close and re-open story, and repeat the steps from step 4.
10. Notice that the display is again set to description instead of ID and description.

• ID/Description setting is based on the resultset fields given by the metadata from backend ("DefaultResultSetAttributes" in the InA response). 
• If the default resultset fields contain any displayKey field and any text field, "ID and Description" is displayed by default.
• If the resultset fields only contain either a text or a displayKey field, only "Description" or only "ID" is displayed.
• It is possible to change this setting in the dialog box for your current session. This means the change will only last while you're working in the same story. After closing the story, reopen it, or refresh the page, it will go back to the default setting.
• Currently, there's no way to save this change permanently. 

Please create a feature request as per KBA 2424376.
