Is it possible to fix the problem of NAME and TITLE being the same since V2.3.1?

    Since WebQuery V2.3.1, NAME and TITLE are the same data in the "SELECT DATA SOURCE" window when creating a report, making the columns meaningless.

    Also, since V2.2.1, the title was brought from the text of the physical file in KANJI/Chinese character, which was well received by Japanese customers, but now both NAME and TITLE are unpopular because they are synonym names in ALPHABET.

    I believe this change in functionality is a bug, is there any plan to fix it?

    Support has responded that it should be addressed in an RFE.

    Just went through the same issue with IBM. I started poking around the file settings and found /qibm/UserData/qwebqry/base80/config/webfocus.cfg and the only setting in it was IBI_MAS_FULLINFO=NO. Changing that to YES and restarting Web Query fixed the Title to show the description from synonym. IBM later confirmed that was the way they dealt with it in a prior case.
