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.
Resolution
Disable personInfo_dependent element or correct cofiguration.
