    From your UI, if you focus on any given field and then press [ALT]+[I] (or on Mac [Option]+[I] you will find the object.attribute designation for the field.  For Incident (SR, and Problem) they are all views on the Ticket object.  In general, the description attribute will have an associated long description.  SR and Incident expose this as part of the UI. This object attribute is LONGDESCRIPTION.LDTEXT.  The general relationship is the ldtext is associated to the object's description attribute.  This is very general.

    Provided you have access to the Database Configuration application you can go to the Incident object and see the various attribute configurations as well as relationships. For SR you will see there are several non persistent attributes all ending in _LONGDESCRIPTION.  These non persistent attributes are all executed at run time by the SR MBO bean class to go and fetch the associated data when viewing the SR.

    Specifically for the SR Details field you can interrogate the database with SQL like this :

    select ldtext from longdescription where ldkey = (select ticketuid from sr where ticketid = '1001') and ldownertable = 'TICKET' and LDOWNERCOL = 'DESCRIPTION'

    to get this:
    Here is what is looks like in Maximo 7.6.1.2

    Hope this helps
