Hi @rareMaxim ,
Have you tried checking/enabling the check-field option "Show Title in Link Fields" :

Edit Doctype > 'Settings' > 'View Settings' > 'Show Title in Link Fields'

@karanwilson Thank you for your reply. Title field is already set

Hi @rareMaxim,
I reproduced these sidebar filters on my local instance:
The default use-case of these filters are for filtering rows in the opened doctype list, based on the values in the filtered doc-field.
When you choose a column that is a regular doc-field, you will see the fieldname values show up;
however since you are choosing a link-field, the default fieldname value of a link-field is field.name, which is the normal output of the filter logic.

In case you need to be able to see the field.title, you will need to customise the filter logic to check whether the chosen doc-field is a link-field; if yes, then fetch the field.title, instead of the default field.name

Hence this is not a bug, but the default output of the sidebar search filter.

You could classify this as a 'feature-request' though.
