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 Employee Central Position Management
- SAP SuccessFactors Metadata Framework
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to Manage Configuration UI
- Create a UI by adding name and the Object e.g. Position
- Set the editability of the translatable field to NO
- Add a UI Rule that sets the editability of a translatable field to Yes base on such condition
- Do a test according to the condition of UI Rule
- Noticed that the field is editable but the translation is not
Cause
Translation follows the configuration of the field itseld in Manage Configuration UI.
Resolution
The editability of the translation of field is depending on the configuration of the field itself in Manage Configuration UI. If the field itself is configured as editable then the text fields for translation will become editable and vice versa and it will not follow the UI Rule.
If this is needed for the business requirement of the customer then enhancement request should be raised. Please follow KBA: 2090228
