SAP SuccessFactors Performance Management

1. Create a performance management form with a custom list field.
2. Leave the "Custom Element's list's default value:" setting as zero (set automatically by the system).
3. Set the custom list field as a required field.
4. Launch the form.
5. Form can be sent to the next step even if the required list field is left blank.

The "Custom Element's list's default value" setting, when set to zero, will allow the form to be sent to the next step even if the required list field is left empty.

• When creating the custom list field, remove the 'zero' value from the "Custom Element's list's default value" setting and leave it blank.
• The list will still appear blank by default on the PM form.
• This will stop the PM form from being sent to the next step without the required list field being filled:
