Introduction

In the context of custom attributes, it's essential to understand the difference between the technical label and the label. The technical label is used internally by the system, while the label is the value displayed to the user. In this article, we'll explore a scenario where the technical label of the attributes displays instead of the label, and we'll provide a step-by-step guide to resolve this issue.

Prerequisites

Before we dive into the solution, let's ensure we have the necessary prerequisites:

You have administrator privileges to create custom attributes.
You have a user account to test the attribute.
You have a multivalue attribute with the technical label "skills-custom" and the label "Compétences (Fr) Skills (En)".

Step 1: Create a Custom Attribute

As an administrator, follow these steps to create a custom attribute:

Create a Custom Attribute

Log in to your system with administrator privileges.
Navigate to the custom attribute section.
Click on the "Create New Attribute" button.
Fill in the required information, including the technical label "skills-custom" and the label "Compétences (Fr) Skills (En)".
Select the "Multivalue" option for the attribute type.
Click on the "Save" button to create the attribute.

Step 2: Add Values to the Attribute

As a user, follow these steps to add values to the attribute:

Add Values to the Attribute

Log in to your system with a user account.
Navigate to the profile section.
Click on the "Edit Profile" button.
Scroll down to the custom attribute section.
Click on the "Add Value" button next to the "skills" attribute.
Enter the value for the attribute, for example, "Programming".
Click on the "Save" button to add the value.

Expected Result

After adding the value to the attribute, you should see the label "Compétences (Fr) Skills (En)" displayed next to the attribute. However, in this scenario, the technical label "skills-custom" displays instead of the label.
