2243856 - Employee Export (UDF) file shows Option ID instead of value in State and Country

Symptom

In Employee Export file (UDF) some fields are showing the Option ID instead of the picklist value.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Download User Data File
  2. See that some fields, for example State and Country, show the Option ID instead of the picklist value

Resolution

Labels could appear in UDF instead of optionIds, if the labels (external codes) were used while performing Employee Import/Basic Import for the fields of type picklists, such fields as State and Country.

If the values provided during in Employee Import were in the form of OptionIds (and not labels in the form of text/string), then the same OptionIds will be been in the UDF presently.
