Table view header for yes/no field is not visible

[Stephen_Ehmann]

I have a yes/no field called “Active” and it displays its values as Y or N in my table view. However the column header is not showing (ie. the text “Active”) like the other columns. I tried to set Display Name but this didn’t make it show up (and I hadn’t expected it to, just trying that). Is this a known issue or am I missing something?

This is–believe it or not–intended behavior. To avoid it, use an column type of Enum.
