Project Attribute Groups - Wrong Value In LOV-based Field (Doc ID 2367331.1)

Last updated on FEBRUARY 13, 2019

Applies to:

Oracle Project Foundation - Version 12.1.3 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Template has defined Attribute Group, which has LOV-based column.
When project is created by applying template, that column contains LOV ID, but not the value of LOV.
Expected behaviour is that the column would contain Value, not the ID.

Please note:
The LOV has $OBJECT$ reference.
When $OBJECT$ reference is removed, then that column contains the Value (e.g. behaviour is as expected).

But, business demands that the $OBJECT$ reference must be used.
