Operator Alias in Grid View on Many-to-One Relation Produces [object Object]

[cancan101]

Actual:

Expected:

Field:

[cancan101]

Whatever is calling Alias handles result from alias differently from result from DefaultValue. I need to track that down.

Basically without Alias, getFullPath (or similar) gets called and with alias it does not. I believe the rendering code path is very different for the case of an Alias vs direct field:
