data.menu.mylabel(CSV)=mylabel(CSV)

SAP SuccessFactors Learning - All Supported Versions

1. Create the label import txt file which contains below list of labels
   

   data.menu.mylabel1(CSV)=My Label1 (CSV)
   data.menu.mylabel2CSV=My Label2 (CSV)
   data.menu.mylabel3(PDF)=My Label3 (PDF)
   data.menu.mylabel4PDF=My Label4 (PDF)
   
   

2. Go to System Admin > Tools > Label Import/Export and follow the steps to import these labels to an active Locale
3. After Import is successful, go to System Admin > Tools > Label Import/Export > select Export Label and search for label value contains 'My Label'.
4. Only the following two labels are listed:
   
   data.menu.mylabel2CSV=My Label2 (CSV)
   data.menu.mylabel4PDF=My Label4 (PDF) 

This is an expected behavior. Label ID's cannot contain special characters.

In the case of a custom report being imported, it can have names like mylabel(PDF). The system creates a new label data.menu.mylabel(PDF) with value MyLabel(PDF). The value can be edited in References > Geography > Labels. But such labels cannot be created in the References or imported via Admin label import tool since those processes will be validated by the rule of Java properties file key=value.

Please do not use special characters in the label ID (Key). You could potentially append values like:

data.menu.mylabelCSV
data.menu.mylabelPDF
