2162186 - Time Type Category (Classification) Attendance is missing-EC-TimeOff

Symptom

While trying to create a time type in time-off for time sheet, the time type categroy is missing from the drop down list.

In time type creation, the Field Category(Classification) should have drop down list with options such as Absence, Attendance, On Call, Break and No selection.

Now only Absence is available and nothing else can be selected since there is no drop-down list, only on fixed value: Absence.

There should be option Attendance for Time Sheet creation.
