This describes WRITING SUBTYPES from ArcSDE: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/23883/working-with-geodatabase-subtypes.html

However when I read data from ArcSDE using the Legacy ArcSDE-reader it only reads the integer SUBTYPE CODE and not the Description / Value.

If possible: Dont use python-script workarounds or manual exports from ArcGIS

Any particular reason for using the legacy reader?

The GEODATABASE_SDE reader already has an option to resolve subtypes:

Nope, just forgot about it not using ArcSDE every day! Thanks for reminding me - just what I was looking for.
