Arc - Cube Viewer - Show default member or selected element in benched hierarchies
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In recent versions of PAW, benched hierarchies are treated similarly to title elements, just hidden:
I seem to recall that previously, benched hierarchies were actually omitted from the MDX, which would leave TM1 to revert to the default member for the hierarchy. Now you must manually edit the MDX to actually omit a hierarchy and revert to default member.
One could argue that the previous behaviour is more correct -- perhaps users found it confusing ?
In Arc, we follow the former model, where benched hierarchies are omitted from the MDX.

Year on bench:
However, in the UI it's impossible to see which element is "selected" without checking the default member in the dimension editor.
See Year below, for example:
Describe the solution you'd like
Whether we treat benched dimensions as omitted from the MDX, or similarly to title elements, it would be useful to know what element is "selected" for benched hierarchies.
We could also follow PAW and treat benched hierarchies more like title elements, but then, what is the purpose of having the bench?
