How to display values of DFF on page.

Question

I have created an item on the page of the type flex.But it does not displays the DFF values on page.
I have checked that the values are properly inserted into the VO instance used by flex item.
What else i need to do to display the DFF segments on page? Am I missing something here?
I have set the flex properties as follow :
View Instance - <View Object name> (I checked that the values are being set correctly in this VO)
Rendered - True
application short name - <application short name>
name - <name of the DFF >
type - descriptive
Read only - false
Display context field - true
Thanks in Advance,

Hi all , I found this posting by Jon
---Jon text bellow
I had the same problem a couple of weeks back in that we couldn't get context sensitive flex fields (Req Line) from displaying on the non-cat request page. The standard FlexField item does not render anything but Global segments. After raising a TAR the response was to disable the standard DFF page item and create a new FlexField item as follows.
1) Login into iProcurement ( enable the profiles related to do Personalization )
Goto the Page where you would like to display this DFF . You need to make sure that this region is based on
View Object : PoRequisitionLinesVO .
Click on the Personalization link and create a item with below values :
Item Style = Flex
ID = Procurement_Card
Appl Short Name = PO
Display Context Field = True
name = PO_REQUISITION_LINES
Prompt = Procurement Card --- you need to make sure that this matches to your Prompt in
Context Field above .
Read Only = False
Rendered = True
Type = Descriptive
View Instance = PoRequisitionLinesVO
This worked however we soon found that there was a major flaw in that the DFF's were only rendered when there were items in the shopping cart. That is that the VO was instantiated.
After much reluctance Oracle raised a bug for this: 5169570 which we have been told to monitor.
Very frustrating that this has not been implemented correctly!!!
