Why is our static list work attribute not returning correct values?

[Edward]

Hi,

I've created a new work attribute (see attached screenshot) as a static list following the link below.

https://help.tempo.io/timesheets/latest/creating-work-attributes-for-customized-time-loggi

When we retrieve the roles from the tempo API (https://api.tempo.io/4/worklogs), we are getting values like ProjectManager, SeniorDeveloper, SolutionArchitect.

Why are the spaces being removed? For some roles we are getting guid values like ff4e0c04-1464-473a-acec-bacc1d374fff, fa0236e8-4886-4172-935b-fe38332d0197, etc. Anyone knows why this is happening and how we can retrieve the roles properly?

Tempo’s REST API returns static-list work attribute values in their stored key form, not their label. When you create a static list in Tempo Settings > Work Attributes, each option is saved with a key (no spaces, often camelCase) and a display name. The `/worklogs` endpoint exposes the key so it can be used consistently across systems. That’s why you see `ProjectManager` instead of “Project Manager.” If you didn’t manually define keys when creating the list, Tempo automatically generates GUIDs, which explains the long UUID-style values.
To display the readable names, you need to map those keys or GUIDs back to their display labels using the [Tempo Work Attribute API](
