KB32081: How to avoid element concatenation in custom group when individual element contains more than one filter qualification in MicroStrategy Developer

What are custom groups?
A custom group is a special filter that can be placed on a template and is comprised of an ordered collection of elements called custom group elements. Each custom group element can be labelled with a header and includes a logical expression of attribute, metric, object, advanced or custom group banding qualifications. These qualifications resolve into a list of attribute elements once the report is run. Custom groups therefore, provide a way to group attribute elements from the same or different attributes to meet user's reporting requirements.
 
In Strategy Developer 9.4.x-10.x if one custom group element contains more than one filter qualification the display for individual items could be shown as below, the Customer name and the Customer Age is concatenated with character '|':
 

 
 
How to avoid element concatenation in custom group when more than one filter qualification used:
The following steps may be use as a reference and it is used Strategy Tutorial project:

• Create a report 'Report Filter' as filter, put 'Customer' attribute into the template and add following two filter qualifications
  
• Customer (ID) Is Not Null 
  
• Customer Age In list (25)
  

• Create a Custom Group and adding the report 'Report Filter' as report as filter qualification
  

• Create a report with Custom Group
  

Now the grid report only displays customer name instead of concatenating the customer name and customer age.
