SYMPTOM:
A user creates a report and adds aliases to attributes and metrics. When the user adds this report as a dataset to a document with formatting or as a shortcut, the aliases of the attributes and metrics do not display in design mode of the document. When the document is executed, the aliases display correctly.

1. Create a new report with the Year attribute and the Profit metric in Strategy Desktop 9.3.0

2. Add aliases to the Year attribute and the Profit metric

3. Save the report
4. Create a new document using this report as a dataset
5. Add this dataset to the document with formatting or as a shortcut
6. In design mode, the aliases do not display
