I come a cross this today.
Had a lookup on a form which goes to contract as it's lookup entity.
I wanted to see the typecode as a lookup property.
After build and deploy I only saw the code and not the readable value.
I checked my looup and the property was formated as Picklist.
So what now?
I looked at the entity property and saw that the property was set to type = Picklist.
After double clicking on the type property the detail screen opens up.
I saw that type was set to picklist, must exist was set to true.
I also noticed that the pick list name was set correctly, but no pick list id was set.
I set the id by clicking at the browse button.
I saved the changed, re-build and deployed and then all was fine.
Hope this might help others!
Thanks! Alexander
