Parent table name appears along with field name when exporting a report to PDF - Known Error

Parent table name appears along with field name when exporting a report to PDF Description When exporting a report to PDF, the exported output displays parent table names prefixed to the field names in the column headers.

Steps to Reproduce

Log in to an instance. Navigate to Reports > View / Run. Create or open a report on a table that includes fields inherited from a parent table (for example, task_sla). Add inherited fields such as Task.Priority, Task.State, etc. Click Share > Export to PDF. Open the generated PDF. Observed Behavior:

Column headers in the PDF display the parent table name along with the field name (e.g., Task.Priority, Task.State). Expected Behavior:

The exported PDF should show only the field label (e.g., Priority, State), consistent with the report view. Workaround Customers experiencing this issue can upgrade to Yokohama Patch 7 or later (including the Australia release), where the behavior is not observed.

Please note that the fix has not been backported to the Zurich release. The behavior remains in Zurich and is only resolved starting from Yokohama Patch 7 and later versions.

You can follow PRB1918461 to track the progress and any ongoing backport activities related to this issue.
