2810941 - The standard instructional text on field on Requisitions is not consistent and is sometimes duplicated

Symptom

  • When creating a requisition and hovering over a required field on a requisition, sometimes the instructional text is displayed as "Field Name" on one line and "Field Name Required" on another and sometimes it is just displayed as "Field Name". This seems inconsistent.
  • Why is the field name duplicated and how can this duplication be avoided?

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. Create a requisition
  2. When in the pre-approval stage, hover a field and see the instructional text is displayed as "Field Name" on one line and "Field Name Required" on another line

Cause

When you do not have the field-description element populated for a field, it causes the system to have this inconsistent behavior and duplicate the field name in the instructional text.

Resolution

Please add something in the field-description element for the fields via Manage Templates.

See KBA 2644129 on how to edit fields via Manage Templates.
