Hi Everyone,
I have a custom field on the Case form called Status. The issue is that the choices are showing the backend value instead of the display value on the Case form. What could be causing this issue?
Kind Regards

Hello @deepikag0508 ,
If it is backend value then it should be look like customer_update_recevied_progress not Customer update received Progress ? Please once check .

Hi,
Try - Right-click the field label and select Configure Choices to ensure the value exists for that specific table.

I could see it's working fine.
On UI it's showing "Customer Update Received Progress" which is the Choice Label which is same in sys_choice in your screenshot
Also ensure the script or logic which is setting the choice value is setting correct choice value

Thank you everyone for the response. The issue is due to the client script that writes the following code.
