Value map widget: "value"/"description" inconsistency when table added to print layouts

[Cucumerlu]

Hi,
I created a QGIS project using value map widget. When I open attribute table in the "main" project I see the "description" BUT when I create an attribute table in the layout I see the "value"

Example
1 - build
2 - river
3 - tree

In the attribute table of the project I see "build", "river" and "tree"
In the attribute table in tha layout I see 1, 2, 3

Can you help me?

Thanks

@Cucumerlu show "description" instead of "value" in the attribute table is by design, so here there should not be any bug. I guess that one could argue that then also in print layouts the table should behave the same. Anyway there are probably many workarounds, you can for example create a virtual column that is filled with the "description" and this will show as such in the layouts.

@gioman I know that I could "create a virtual column that is filled with the "description" and this will show as such in the layouts" but I have a lot of columns and I don't think that the incosistency "is by design". And, as you understand, I argue that "also in print layouts the table should behave the same".
