2648195 - Auto-populated Goal Fields Are Editable on the Mobile App - Performance Management

Symptom

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Goal Management
  • SAP SuccessFactors Performance Management
  • SAP SuccessFactors Mobile

Reproducing the Issue

1. Open the Performance form on web UI.

2. Go to the goal section.

Note that the auto-populated field cannot be edited.

3. Open the Performance form on the SuccessFactors Mobile App.

4. Go to the goal section.

Note that the auto-populated field is editable.

Cause

The auto-populated goal field has read and write permissions in the Goal Plan XML Template.

Resolution

  • Please review the permission set for auto-populated field in a Goal Plan XML template level.
  • Ensure to grant read-only permissions on a field in which auto-population rules are enabled in a goal plan.
  • By doing that, the field will respect the read permission set in the goal plan and not be editable in PM form on both the Mobile App and web UI.
