  5. Custom field Value without description shown in reporting apps. 

Cause

This Custom field is created with value help using a Custom Entity, with this the description field is an abap implemented field and as CDS view  has a default aggregation configured for several fields (annotation @Aggregation.default) and as the SADL infrastructure does not support abap implemented fields in combination with default aggregation there is no text field.

Resolution

The system is working as designed. It is correct that no description appears for custom field.
