Symptom

You have created an OnChange rule on BCUI in order to propagate a custom field based on a change of any field and you have noticed that after employee performs a change in employee profile the field is not getting populated.

After that if you check the rule trace you can see that the values are being set.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors - Employee Central

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to target employee
  2. Change Location field (in order to propagate the custom field)
  3. Save

Cause
