Choice 'Name' Field not populating

Posted on by 11
Greetings,
 
When we create a 'choice' column on a table in crm, the same Dataverse table actually adds two columns... one is the name of the column that contains the unique identifier, the other is the name of the column followed by the word 'name', which shows the text of the selected record.
 
In the case of our first screen shot we have created a new Choice column called test_dropdown_2024, and we also see the field test_dropdown_2024name... but the name field is no longer populating when we add new choices as in this example:
   
 
This is happening in multiple unrelated environments. We are not necessarily finding issues on the front end and so we are guessing that the 'name' field is being deprecated, but would like to confirm that there is not a bigger issue with our environments.

The following screen shot shows an update to the field of the same record on our real-world table. Whenever a new agency code is selected, the agencycodename is NULL. When we switch it to an older agency code, the agencycodename is populated.

 
Has anyone seen this behavior, or know if this field is being deprecated?
