Symptom
Localization of values, which are sourced either from a PageList or DataPage, is not supported for picker controls such as multiselect and autocomplete controls.
Explanation
In a multiselect and autocomplete control, the displayed values are directly stored to the target property. Hence, the property values are not localized. However, for a dropdown control, property values that are displayed in results are different from property values that are stored in target property. Hence, the values are localized. The native HTML for multiselect and autocomplete control is only a text <input>
field. Therefore, authoring of localization of values is unavailable for these controls.
Environment
The issue was reported in the following environments:
- Pega Platform version 8.1.5 on-premises
- Pega Platform version 8.6.2 on-premises
- Pega Platform version 8.6.3 on Pega Cloud 2.20.9, 2.22.2
Solution
This is the expected behavior in Pega product design.
