Frequently asked question

Why do domain coded values appear instead of the associated description?

Last Published: April 25, 2020

Answer

This behavior occurs when a subtype is specified by the subtype field that contains no values, resulting in the coded values appearing in lieu of the descriptions.
Assigning a value in the subtype field allows the descriptions to be rendered.
