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.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Profile

Reproducing the Issue

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

Error message via Import Succession Data Model in provisioning:

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

Cause

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'.

Resolution

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.
