    Hi LocNguyen ,
    I remember this issue.

    You must also select the base field so that the _display field is transferred.

    In your case it should be the field "new_type".

    Source = Cds.Entities("https://ebs1.crm.dynamics.com", null),
      #"Navigation 1" = Source{[Group = "entities"]}[Data],
      #"Navigation 2" = #"Navigation 1"{[EntitySetName = "psa_regions"]}[Data],
      #"Choose columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Navigation 2", {"new_code", "new_type", "new_type_display", "psa_name", "psa_regionid"})

    Or you can try to use Table.Buffer to avoid query folding.

    Source = Cds.Entities("https://ebs1.crm.dynamics.com", null),
      #"Navigation 1" = Source{[Group = "entities"]}[Data],
      #"Navigation 2" = Table.Buffer(#"Navigation 1"{[EntitySetName = "psa_regions"]}[Data]),
      #"Choose columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Navigation 2", {"new_code", "new_type_display", "psa_name", "psa_regionid"})
