Cause

MFB_Nationality is set as Data Type SF HCM Picklist under Manage Onboarding Settings => Data Dictionary => Integration => EC . This needs to be String.

Resolution

The reason for this is the field "Nationality" is type "COUNTRY" which means it pulls from the "COUNTRY" MDF Object. Therefore if you configure Onboarding field as Picklist, it will not allow you to select Nationality field in EC in the mapping drop-down because the Source and Target fields differ in configuration.

To resolve set this as String and you will find Nationality mapping becomes available in Field Mapping Tool for integration with Employee Central.
