When Dynamics does not use mapped fields

Even if you have mapped the fields for a dynamic lookup to linked fields on the viewer, Dynamics might not use this field mapping mechanism to retrieve data for the lookup. This happens when a later change is made to the data source that renames or removes one of the mapped fields, or a mapped field on the viewer has been renamed or removed. If this happens, to ensure that the user always gets the correct data, Dynamics does not attempt to get the linked field values from the SDO, but instead makes the extra AppServer request to return all of he correct information to be displayed in the lookup.
