2586662 - Truncated Text in Blocks

Symptom

Text in fields gets truncated unexpectedly, in case of long values.

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 Employee Profile

Reproducing the Issue

In People Profile, when the first word of a text field is more than 20 characters long, the rest of the values break unexpectedly, in the middle of the sentence.

Cause

This is expected system behavior.

Resolution

In case of long texts, the break is based on the first word. If it's more than 20 characters long, the rest of the values will break unexpectedly. This was created in consideration that no words would be beyond 20 characters long. To avoid such issues, make sure the first word is 20 characters or less.
