Update picklist value in a cube

When using picklist based on a dimension subset  with alias, users select certain element in a picklist and input it in a cube. This value is saved in a cube. After dimension update alias changes, but the value stored in a cube based on a picklist is not updated. This causes issues if the value in a cube is used as a variable in a process, since now there is no element in a dimension with the old alias.

    Although the status is "declined" I believe you can actually achieve this already by using the undocumented StoreAlias=F parameter of the picklist

    E.g. when defining the PickList use the following syntax ..
    subset:DimensionName:SubsetName<StoreAlias=F>

    This will have the effect that the Picklist will display the alias assigned to the subset but when the user selects a value it will be the principal name that gets stored in the cube.
