Symptom
Help Text icon with the message :
Public Field
This candidate has been added to this job but has not yet applied for it
appears in the application page for any "Non Applicant" on the right side of the label of the fields.
There is no way to disable that via Admin Centre > Manage Recruiting Custom Help Text
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
Reproducing the Issue
1. open a Job Application for a candidate that appears as "Non Applicant"
2. check the field labels, on the right side appear a "?" sign (Help Text)
3. if you click that you get the message:
Public Field
This candidate has been added to this job but has not yet applied for it
Cause
This is the current design of the system
Resolution
Since the fact that the user cannot disable that Help Text does not appear as a good user experience,
Product Managers and Developers are planning to enhancement the design trying to schedule it in future release.
