Symptom

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

Reproducing the Issue

  • An OnInit rule is placed in the globalInfo for the country India. This is to set ‘Is Physically Challenged’ field to ‘No’ and also set the visibility of 3 fields to none.

  • There is also an onChange rule on the field “Is Physically Challenged’ to set the visibility of the fields based on the it’s value.

  • In add new hire wizard, the field value is defaulted to ‘No’ and so as the visibility of the other 3 fields is set to ‘none’ but once the field ‘Is Physically Challenged’ is changed to ‘Yes’, the fields do not become visible as per the onchange rule.

Resolution

  • Our engineering team has confirmed that this is a product gap/limitation. When OnInit or onView rule hides a field, onChange rule will not be able to make it visible again.
  • Currently, the only workaround is to delete the global information using the 'Trash' icon and add new global information. Then, the onChange rule should work.
