Answer 1

First, does the registry value actually exist on the workstation? At
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\xxxxx.com\Location
Second, how is the AutoFill set for that UDF? You'll find that in the Collection Option Set, in the "Collection Editor" tab, and you can edit it if "Run Collection Editor: Always" is turned on in the "General" tab.
In the Collection Editor tab, find your UDF - Workstation, User, Inventory - and look at the AutoFill column. If it's set to "Always", then it should always populate during a scan. If it's set to "WhenEmpty", it'll only populate if nothing has already populated the field. If it's set to "Never", it'll never populate.
Third, has an inventory scan run on the workstation in question? Nothing will be populated until a scan has taken place and the resulting WIF has been returned to the Collection Server and successfully loaded. You can force an immediate scan if you need to, but a scan must happen.

From the Web Asset Management window, it displays it as text, not retreiving the actual registry key
What am I doing wrong?
Example:
Other Information
Field Value
Location %HKEY:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\xxxxx.com\Locati on
