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

Symptom

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:

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.???

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

HRIS Sync Mapping of field personalInfo in last-name: The HRIS field personalInfo should be marked “Mandatory=Yes” because element lastName is a mandatory element.

The image/example below came from a demo instance, any resemblance to a live customer data is purely coincidental.
