2601789 - Validation Error When Trying to Change the 'Required' Parameter of Standard Elements

When trying to change Standard Elements such as 'lastName', 'firstName', 'email' to 'Mandatory' an error is displayed:

Error when change via Import Succession Data Model in provisioning:

• SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
• SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
• SAP SuccessFactors Employee Profile

In Succession Data Model, change the parameter 'required' of Standard Elements to 'true' and try to import it back to the system

Code: <standard-element id="lastName" max-length="128" required="true" matrix-filter="false"> 

Error message via Import Succession Data Model in provisioning:

Error: Form data is invalid ???Validation Failed !
Cannot make the Standard Element(s) configured as required when corresponding hris field is visible. Make the following standard element(s) as not required OR configure the corresponding hris-field(s) as invisible : lastName, department, email.??? 

Error message via Manage Business Configuration<Employee Profile<Standard<field name<Mandatory

If Employee Central is enabled, First Name, Last Name, Email and so on are synced from EC to EP via HRIS and must be populated in EC - Personal Information only.

Standard Elements must be set to 'Visible Only' and not 'Required'.

<standard-element id="lastName" max-length="128" required="false" matrix-filter="false"> ( Correct Code)
  <!--<standard-element id="lastName" max-length="128" required="true" matrix-filter="false"> -->  ( wrong Code)
    <label>Last Name</label>
    <label xml:lang="en-GB">Last Name</label>
    <label xml:lang="en-DEBUG">Last Name_Lbl#5277</label>
  </standard-element>

Standard configuration is to populate these fields in EC only.

If you want EP to reflect these values, they should be visible only, not required.

Note: As per Master SDM -Data Model : Data model all Standard Elements must be: required="false"

Example:

 <standard-element id="lastName" max-length="128" required="false" matrix-filter="false">
    <label>Last Name</label>

     <label xml:lang="en-GB">Last Name</label>
    <label xml:lang="en-DEBUG">Last Name_Lbl#5277</label>

</standard-element>
