SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central (EC) - All Versions

1.  You have configured the field in the data model as example below:

<standard-element id="empId" max-length="255" required="false" matrix-filter="false">
   <label>Legajo</label>
</standard-element>

2. You have configured the permissions as example below:

<element-permission type="write">
   <description>Grant write access for Employees</description>
   <role-name></role-name>
   <standard-element-ref refid="empId"/>
   ...
</element-permission>

Missing value definition in <role-name></role-name>

The role-name is mandatory and should be following if RBP Permission turned on:

<element-permission type="write">
   <description>Grant write access for Employees</description>
   <role-name>*</role-name>
   <standard-element-ref refid="empId"/>
   ...
</element-permission>

Following is only used if legacy permission enabled:

1. * - Everyone
2. E - Employee
3. EM - Employee Manager
4. EH - HR Manager
5. Or any other system role

See the correct example below:

<element-permission type="write">
   <description>Grant write access for Employees</description>
   <role-name>E</role-name>
   <standard-element-ref refid="empId"/>
   ...
</element-permission>

Correct this config and re import the data model and the field should be displayed again.
