2812824 - How to configure a list of users in a User Type field for MDF Objects

Symptom

  • Unable to see a list of users under custom field created as User Type.
  • Only one user is displayed in the user field.

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 HCM Suite
  • Metadata Framework (MDF)

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a new Custom MDF Object
  2. Create a custom field of Data Type "User"
  3. Save
  4. See in the object portlet that only a single user is displayed in the dropdown:

Resolution

You can use UI Filed Renderer option in the custom user field as per below:

  • Set UI Field Renderer = workerFieldRenderer
  • Make sure Source Field Name & Destination Field Name is blank in costCenterManager.
  • If you use effectiveStartDate costcentermanager will reflect as of that date only.
