KB45346: Conditional formatting on Selected Text Field does not work in MicroStrategy Developer and Web 9.x and 10.x

SYMPTOM:
 
When users define Conditional Formatting on dynamic text such as {attribute@DESC} and choose 'Selected Text Field' as the field to be formatted, then the formatting is not applied to the text. This happens in both Developer and Web in Strategy 9.x and 10.x.
 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Following steps are performed in Tutorial project in Developer.

• Create a report with Category and Profit.
• Create a document based from the report.
• In the document, place Category to the group by field.
• In Category Header section, insert dynamic text and define expression as {Category@DESC}.
   
  

• Right mouse click the text and choose Conditional Formatting. Define threshold as:
  - Selected Text Field Exactly Books. 
  - Format to font in red.
   
  

• Run document. Choose Books in the page-by selector. Notice that the conditional formatting is not applied.
   
  

 
 
CAUSE:
This is a known limitation of applying thresholds onto dynamic text in Strategy 9.x. and 10.x.
 
ACTION:
Define the threshold on the Category attribute instead of 'Selected Text Field', with condition Category In list {Books}. Then the formatting will be applied correctly.
