Filter conditions labels in Report Pega 7.2
Hi everyone.
I've encountered an issue with report definition filters in report viewer. While editing report filters, property label (or function is used) is shown instead of caption you fill while add the filter.
While researching the issue, I found out that section pzEditSingleFilter in Embed-ReportFilter class is used for this UI and property pyFieldValue is utilized. I was able to show some filters correctly by creating pyCaption in Embed-ReportFilter class, but I have some OOTB properties that need to have differewnt names in different reports and also this doesn't work for functions. If I change pyFieldValue to pyFilterUICaption property in private checkout filters are shown correctly, but changing Final rules is highly undesirable.

Does anybody have some advice? Thank you.

I suspect this is by design. The "Edit Filter" popup has a separate field for the filter caption. It displays (and allows you to edit) the caption that is specified in the report definition rule:

Hi Ron
This might be by design, but I am not sure that user in report viewer should see some functions and unrelated short descriptions of properties that might confuse him.
