Symptom
Picklist Label displays following Characters {value:" ", label:" ", externalCode:" "} in Employee HRIS Element Portlets E.g Job information.
"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 - Picklist Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Profile of any Employee.
- Navigate to any HRIS Element Portlet that contains a field with Data Type of Picklist.
- Look for that field and notice that it is showing following characters {value:"x", label:"x", externalCode:"x"} instead of Picklist Label.
Cause
This behavior is caused by having special characters such as double quotes, slashes, etc. on the Picklist Label. Picklist Labels containing special characters do not render appropriately when the field value is shown in Profile.
Resolution
Remove the special characters in the Picklist Label. If Picklist Labels contain special characters, these characters are not displayed on UI. This has nothing to do with the imports but the general behavior of the Application.
