2242453 - Multiselect attribute with picklists Field - Issues with Permissions

Symptom

A Picklist field has WRITE permission in the Job Requisition configuration, but it appears to be not editable when you test it

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

Reproducing the Issue

Under this kind of configuration in the Job Req Template:

- FieldA with PicklistA (parent)  – No “multiselect” attribute is defined
- FieldB with PicklistB (child)  – the attribute multiselect=”true” is defined
- WRITE permissions are granted for some roles

Issue:
If you test the permission creating a Job Req you will see that:
WRITE permission will NOT work for FieldB

Cause

Inconsistency of the attribute “multiselect”: not defined in the Patent picklist field but defined on the child

Resolution

Update the field definition keeping the attribute “multiselect” consistent on both picklist field (Parent and Child)
