Symptom

Environment
Employee Central - Personal Information
Reproducing the Issue
- Add SimpleAddressFormat
- Fill out all fields in the format, appears correctly
- Remove one of the fields (set to null), appears incorrectly
Cause
This is currently a defect. If current value of one of the fields in the SimpleAddressFormat is null, it will be replaced by an empty string.
Resolution
This is on track to be fixed in the 1908 release. The workaround is to ensure none of the configured fields are set to null. When all the fields contain a value, the SimpleAddressFormat is followed successfully.
