2338326 - Field Appears on UI Though it is not Configured in XML

Environment

Employee Central - Data Models

Reproducing the Issue

1.Check the UI and see the field

2. Check in other modules like Compensation and on the forms, it will be possible to add this field as a column

Cause

This is because the field was at some point added to the XML(in earlier days) and

instead of setting visibility="none" before removing it, the person just deleted/removed it from the XML and re-imported the SDM.

Doing this will not remove the field from the UI/system.

Resolution

The solution is to add field config back to the DM XML and set visibility = none.

Following code in xml which resolved the issue:

<hris-field max-length="256" id="flsa-status" visibility="none" required="false">
<label>FLSA Status</label>
</hris-field>

Once the field is set to visibility none, then you can delete the field from the data model if you wish
