Description column in VLM tab of the spec (v3.0.0)

For such issues, ALWAYS look into the "source" XML of the define.xml itself. You can easily do so using an (usually not expensive) XML editor, or even using NotePad++.
Is the "Description" element not present on the ItemDef as a child element, or it it a stylesheet issue?

You can always contact me directly for more details - I am one of the developers of the CDISC Define-XML standard.

Description column in VLM tab of the spec (v3.0.0)

Hi Jozef,

It is not stylesheet issue, but the problem of the Pinnacle21 define.xml generator. 

I just did a quick test. 
Here is the part of my spec with test Description text added: 

When define.xml is created from this spec using Pinnacle21 v3.0.0 I just can't find this text at all in xml file:

thanks,

Igor

Will the issue above be updated in next release of Pinnacle21 community, if so, when it is expected?

btw, exactly the same issue happens with the Value-Level Comment column of the spec. This column is completely ignored by the Define.xml generator in latest version of Pinnacle21 community, which makes this generator tool almost useless for end users. 

thanks,

Hi Igor,

Thank you for the feedback!

This issue with Value Level Comments and Descriptions is a known define generator bug. It was resolved by our team.

We will provide a fix in the next Community update, which will be released soon.
