Latitude and longitude forms are still displayed on a grid by default even though the forms were not set as the display form for the multi-form attribute during data import (MicroStrategy Web 10.3 and MicroStrategy Analytics Desktop 10.3)

Description

Latitude and longitude forms are still displayed on grid by default. However, on the Create Multiform Attribute page, the forms are not set as the display form for Strategy Web 10.3 and Strategy Analytics Desktop 10.3. The grid seems to be overriding the display forms selected for the multi-form attribute.

Steps to reproduce

Follow below steps to reproduce the issue with the latitude and longitude forms:

1. Import an Excel file with 4 columns: ID, Name, Latitude, Longitude. See the Sample Data below.
   
2. In the Data Preparation page, choose the above 4 columns and choose to create a Multiform Attribute.
   
3. Set Name as the only display form. Uncheck all of the other columns.
   

1. Create a dashboard and place the new attribute in grid.
   
   Note that both the latitude and longitude forms are displayed in grid automatically.
   
   However, the forms were not set as the display forms for the grid when creating the attribute.
   

Why is this happening?

This is a known issue with Strategy Web 10.3 and Strategy Analytics Desktop 10.3.
