Cause

This issue is caused by a miss-configuration of the dg-filters:

  1. The  field 'job-code' doesn't support ref-field attribute. 
  2. Fields with visibility="none" can not be listed in the dg-filters

Resolution

To resolve the issue, please carry out the following checks:

Issue 1: The  field 'job-code' doesn't support ref-field attribute:

  1. Check if the job-code field has a ref-field attribute defined, such as <hris-field-ref refid="job-code" ref-field="cust_field1"/>
  2. If yes, please remove this field or replace with only the job code : <hris-field-ref refid="job-code"/>

Issue 2: Fields with visibility="none" can not be listed in the dg-filters:

  1. Check all fields listed in the dg-filters.
  2. If a fields is defined with visibility="none", remove it from the dg-filters

Once the above issues have been corrected, please import the updated succession data model. After a few moments check Manage Business Configuration to see the dg-filters are now displayed.
