- Dependents Portlet
- Primary Emergency Contact portlet

- Scroll down to "Dependents" portlet and/or "Primary Emergency Contact" portlet.
- Edit to add "address" information to an existing Dependent/Primary Emergency Contact, or to add a new record with "address informaiton" details.
- Save
- Check the detials of the portlet, the Formatted Address field is showing even though this field is not configured in Manage Business Configuration or anywhere in the Data Model.
Cause
The "Formatted Address" is intended for "Simple Address Format" feature.
Current Logic:
If "Dependents" and/or "Primary Emergency Contact" portlets does not maintain any address, "Formatted Address" will not show. Else, if "Dependents" and/or "Primary Emergency Contact" portlet maintain an "address information" and the "Simple Address Format" is not configured, then "Formatted Address" field will show with an empty/null value.
To know how to setup the "Simple Address Format", see KBA 2418100 - Address Format in Address Portlet does not appear correctly in view mode.
If the "Simple Address Format" is configured, then it will show what was configured in the SimpleAddressFormat.
