For such issues, ALWAYS look into the “source” XML of the define.xml itself. You can easily do so using an (usually not expensive) XML editor, or even using NotePad++.
Is the “Description” element not present on the ItemDef as a child element, or it it a stylesheet issue?
You can always contact me directly for more details - I am one of the developers of the CDISC Define-XML standard.
Will the issue above be updated in next release of Pinnacle21 community, if so, when it is expected?
btw, exactly the same issue happens with the Value-Level Comment column of the spec. This column is completely ignored by the Define.xml generator in latest version of Pinnacle21 community, which makes this generator tool almost useless for end users.
When I try to complete Description column for value-level metadata of SUPP datasets, the description text does not appear in generated define.xml. It looks like corresponding /Itemdef elements are not created during define generation. Is it known issue of latest version?
