Allow expressions on 'Name' box for Master dimensions
When creating master dimensions, we can assign a Name and a label for the field (or calculated dimension) The Label box has the possibility to use an expression, and it is great to control the label displayed on charts, filters, etc. However, when a selection on the dimension is made, the selection bar on the top shows the Name value, which might not match the Label.
That mismatch can create confusion to the user. Would be desirable, we could either show the Label expression on the selections bar, or be able to use an expression on Name box. The main reason I find this to be a must is when creating multilanguage applications. The label can be adapted to the Users language, but as soon as the user makes a selection, the top selection bar might show something completely different.
Totally agree, another situation it gets confusing when our self service users create their custom sheets. When they try to find the master item in the list they don't find it caz they are familiar with the label name, not the master item name.
Personally I would like to see, in the selection bar, the label expression
On object creation I'm not sure what should be better: from a developer point of view, the name of the master item is definitelly the best option but, as mentioned by @Digvijay_Singh , from a self service user it would be better to see the same label expression. Maybe an option to choose which one to see would be a the best way to handle it?
A workaround for self service users is to use the master item menu on the left, but that's not always the first thing an end user does...
