same problem here: I’m using Native Instrument Upright Bass and notes sound at the correct pitch but they are displayed in the Score editor at the upper octave (where they are played, because of the NI instrument concept)

You can use the workaround here:

Bass Instruments are an octave too high in Score

Michael is correct. The role of Dorico expression maps are slightly different to Cubase expression maps. In Dorico the Map is the thing that translates between higher level musical concepts (‘instrument is playing middle C at dynamic ff’) and how that sound is realised for a specific sample library. So if a sample library has shifted the sound of a bass instrument up by an octave so that it’s playable on a 61 key keyboard, then that knowledge is stored in the Expression Map so that it ‘just w…

In Dorico this is the normal way of handling this situation (and is not a workaround at all), that’s why it doesn’t have the capability to do this currently - Dorico doesn’t need it because you do this with the expression map instead.
