Thanks for the information, I was able to test my JEXL, but my problem is 
somewhat different

First my working JEXL
Defined as the following, my virtual attribute does work :
<init-param>
      <param-name>subjectVirtualAttribute_0_descriptionUnique</param-name>
      <param-value>${subject.getAttributeValue('displayName')} 
(${subject.getAttributeValue('sAMAccountName')})</param-value>
</init-param>

gsh 1% sub = SubjectFinder.findById("gagns")
subject: id='gagns' type='person' source='ldap' name='Gagne Sebastien Display 
Name'
gsh 3% sub.getAttributeValue("descriptionUnique")
Gagne Sebastien (gagns)

But my problem is that I cannot use that virtual attribute as the subject's 
description. Even before the UI configurations, the Subject API is dropping 
the subjects with identical descriptions.

With description = sAMAccountName (note the same name is there 3 time):
gsh 5% ss = SubjectFinder.findAll("marchanr")
subject: id='marchanr' type='person' source='ldap' name='Marchand Robert 0'
subject: id='marchanr2' type='person' source='ldap' name='Marchand Robert'
subject: id='marchanr3' type='person' source='ldap' name='Marchand Robert'
subject: id='marchanr4' type='person' source='ldap' name='Marchand Robert'

With description = displayName (I'm missing #3 and #4 since it's the same 
displayName) :
gsh 1% ss = SubjectFinder.findAll("marchanr")
subject: id='marchanr' type='person' source='ldap' name='Marchand Robert 0'
subject: id='marchanr2' type='person' source='ldap' name='Marchand Robert'

With description = descriptionUnique (my virtual attribute) :
gsh 1% ss = SubjectFinder.findAll("marchanr")
subject: id='marchanr2' type='person' source='ldap' name='Marchand Robert'


I only get one result because the description is empty if I use the virtual 
attribute :

gsh 1% sub = SubjectFinder.findById("gagns")
subject: id='gagns' type='person' source='ldap' name='Gagne Sebastien Display 
Name'
gsh 2% sub.id
gagns
gsh 3% sub.name
Gagne Sebastien Display Name
gsh 4% sub.description

gsh 5% sub.description.length()
0

I am using this one (sources.xml, inside my ldap source):
 <init-param>
     <param-name>subjectVirtualAttribute_1_displayName0</param-name>
     <param-value>${subject.name}, ${subject.description}</param-value>
 </init-param>

You could test this is in gsh with:

subject.getAttributeValue("displayName0")

I had to edit the file:
/opt/grouper.ui/conf/resources/grouper/media.properties in these section 
(very scattered)

subject.display.default=displayName0
[...]
#grouperUi.subjectImg.sourceId.0 = pennperson
#grouperUi.subjectImg.image.0 = user.png ## screen EL has "subject" as an 
object
#grouperUi.subjectImg.screenEl.0 = ${subject.description}

grouperUi.subjectImg.sourceId.0 = unimore #is my name of the ldap source
grouperUi.subjectImg.image.0 = user.png
# screen EL has "subject" as an object
grouperUi.subjectImg.screenEl.0 =
${subject.getAttributeValue("displayName0")}
