2549760 - Old values are displayed with strikethrough in custom MDF portlets

Symptom

After creating a new record or editing one on MDF object, the old values appear with strikethrough on View History.

"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental."

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Configure Object Definition.
  2. Select Object Definition and choose your object.
  3. Ensure that Hide Old Value is set to "No".
    • The old values along with the strikethrough still appear in the History view under Employee Files.

Cause

On an effective dated MDF object, each time you insert a new record of data and make modifications to the field values from the previous value, the strike through is shown by default to the previous value with the new value when Hide Old Value is set to 'No'.

Resolution

  • Set Hide Old Value to Yes to remove the strikethrough
  • The same applies to the portlet history and workflow approvals, the strike through is shown by default to the previous value with the new value.
