What PeopleSoft Role value coincides with the Entitlement Description?

[gmilunich (Geoff Milunich)]

I am working with a system that is using the PeopleSoft Direct connector to pull in accounts and also to pull in the PS Roles as Entitlements/groups. The PS Roles have the DESCR value set to the description, but this value does not seem to be populating the Description field of the Entitlement. Looking at the Documentation, I see there are 2 fields that get brought in for description: DESCR and DESCRLONG. Which one the these is populating the Description field on the entitlement, and is there a way that I can change this? I do not see an Entitlement Schema page in the source config, nor an API Call to change it.

Ideally I would like to set DESCR to point to the Entitlement Description field to save from having the PS team from copying all the values over. If the only way turns out to be copy the DESCR to DESCRLONG then I’ll have them tackle it, but I don’t want to ask until I know for sure.

May have answered my own question. It looks like based on the documentation for the Connector that it is set up in the Component Interface (CI) added to the PeopleSoft for ROLEMAINT. Reviewing the steps for Manually Creating the Component Interface, the last screenshot shows the DESCRLONG bring used here: Basic Structure of Component Interface (CI) from ROLEMAINT Component for Roles

Does anyone know if this value can be switched to DESCR, or will the role descriptions need to be added to DESCR in PeopleSoft? If it can be switched, what potential issues need to be taken into consideration?
