SYMPTOMS
If you create an outline code and add a description to your code, the description will not be displayed in the picklist (drop-down list) next to the code ID. For example:
 * 1) In a new project, enter a task (T1).
 * 2) Insert the Outline Code 1 field.
 * 3) Customize the field, and then define the Outline Code.
 * 4) Create a mask of characters of any length.
 * 5) Edit the Lookup Table.
 * 6) Add a code, and then type some text for the description. Click Close, and then click OK two times.
 * 7) Back in the table, select the picklist.

In the picklist, the code value is displayed but the corresponding code description is not.
