2809285 - Changing label of a field in candidate summary display options

Symptom

Changing the label of a field used in the candidate summary display options is not working when done through Manage Templates or XML.

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

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

Reproducing the Issue

1. See that the label 'Recruiter Prescreen' appears in the candidate summary display options.

2. Change the column label in Manage Templates (or in the XML) for this field. The changes will not reflect in the candidate summary display options.

Resolution

The only way to change this label is to change the label of the corresponding field-definition ID. As per the example above, the label for the 'prescreen' field in the application template would have to be changed in order to change the label of the candidate summary display options.
