TIMECARD FIELD VALUE IS INCORRECT IN ALTERNATE NAME

Question

Hi,
I use Alternate name definition form to create new Alternate name and assigned it via preferences.
When I login as SS create Timecard the Hours Type poplist is empty.
When I look at the VO it expect the Time_card column in hxc_alias_definitions to have value of 'Hours Type' but in the record the
column is empty.
I checked the default one (Alternate name definition ) which is created by the concurrent program 'Generate Flexfield and Mapping
Information'
has Timecard_field value of 'ElementComponent' which is causing it doesn't work also.
Pleas help.
