Hi,

is the only way to get dimension attribute value and it's description by hardcoding? 

DefaultDimensionView defaultDimensionView;

select firstonly DisplayValue from defaultDimensionView
    where defaultDimensionView.DefaultDimension == _salesLine.DefaultDimension  //assume salesline is defined
        && defaultDimensionView.Name == 'Activity';

str displayValue = defaultDimensionView.DisplayValue;
info(displayValue);

DimensionAttribute      dimAttribute;
DimensionAttributeValue dimAttributeValue;
 
dimAttribute      = DimensionAttribute::findByName('Activity');
dimAttributeValue = DimensionAttributeValue::findByDimensionAttributeAndValue(dimAttribute, defaultDimensionView.DisplayName);

str x = dimAttributeValue.getName());
info(x);

    No, you don't have to and shouldn't hard-code the dimension attribute name ("Activity"). You can, for example, define a parameter where you choose the dimension that should be used for your purpose.
