Symptom
When a user enters a comment in the SAP SuccessFactors Talent Pool selection of the Employee Profile, the system gives a message that it has been saved, but when the user goes back to review the comment, the comment is no longer there and has been replaced by a number.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Succession Management
Resolution
- The issue may be caused by a misconfiguration in the Data Model.
- In the example code below, both Function & Comments have the same field name of "vfld3".
- Each of the fields needs to have a different variable field number; in this case the comments field should probably be "vfld4", however, our engineers should make the final determination.
- When the change is made to the code, the data in the comments field will probably be lost, and the client will need to key them back in.
