Reproducing the Issue

Steps to reproduce:


1.Login into the instance
2.Go to any user > Personal Information > Dependants

5.Enter all the remaining required data
6.Click on the Save button and observe that an application error is shown

 

Application Error Logs will show reference to:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: attempt to create merge event with null entity

Cause

The reason for this is personInfo_dependent element configuration, namely it being used to disable required fields such as date-of-birth, country-of-birth or any other hris field. This is not supported.

It is expected that there is no configuration of Biographical Info for Dependents.
