2472101 - Defaulting 'Is Primary' to 'Yes' for National ID Information

We have created an onInit rule to default the 'Is Primary' dropdown to 'Yes' for National ID Information. This works in the Add New Employee Wizard but does not work for rehires or users who already have National ID info saved in the database. It is not possible to add a Card Type for any row other than the existing row. This is also known to occur in PP3-enabled Instances and v12 Instances are not exhibiting the same behavior.

Employee Central – National ID Information

1. Rehire Inactive Employee.

2. Choose a user.

3. Click add on National ID Information Section of the Wizard.

4. Observe that it is not possible to add a card type for the extra row.

The "Always True" onInit rule breaks the extra rows when there is data already saved to the database for National ID.

Remake the rule as shown in the below screenshots:

OPTION 1:

IF Employee Information. National ID Information. Is Primary is equal to No

THEN Set Employee Information. National ID Information. Is Primary to be equal to Yes

OPTION 2:

IF Employee Information.Biographical Information.Person Id is equal to Null

THEN Set Employee Information. National ID Information. Is Primary to be equal to Yes

This fixes the issue:

FYI, this rule will trigger in the add new employee once you click 'Add'.
