Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Performance Management
  • SAP SuccessFactors 360 Multi-Rater

Resolution

  • meta-enforce-rte-limit is a optional code that allows user to add the 4000 character limits for all the comments box in the form.
  • Once this option is turned on, the expected behavior is that a pop up window appears showing the hightlighted text input by user is exceeding 4000 characters.
  • To turn this option on, we need to add <meta-enforce-rte-limit>true</meta-enforce-rte-limit> right after <meta-scale> in <fm-meta> section.
