Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Succession & Development

Reproducing the Issue

Steps:

  1. Go to the Career Development Plan
  2. Create a custom Learning Activity
  3. Choose a start date in the future e.g. 01/01/2050
  4. Choose a completed/end/due date in the past e.g. 01/01/1900
  5. The Learning Activity will save without error or date validation

Cause

In the Learning Activity Template, the field definitions may be configured in a way which they are not considered standard fields e.g. "completed_Date". Therefore they will be treated as the custom fields and won't have the date validation.

Resolution

You may configure the Learning Activity Template to use the standard field definitions ids.

Note:

  • If this cofiguration is added to a pre-existing template, the data which is associated to the original fields may not be visible.
  • Learning templates do not support the autopopulate of default Start and Due dates. This feature is only supported for Goal and Development plan templates.
