Symptom
When using Mass Assign Goals, the system returns an error message "Objective indent out of range" and does not assign the Goals.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Goal Management
Cause
If you only have one line like for the Goal Numbering, you are essentially disabling users from being able to "indent" goals.
Resolution
In order to correct the issue, to enable users to indent goals to one or more levels, you must have a minimum of three code lines. For example:
<obj-plan-numbering>
<obj-plan-number-format>#.</obj-plan-number-format>
<obj-plan-number-format>#.</obj-plan-number-format>
<obj-plan-number-format>#.</obj-plan-number-format>
</obj-plan-numbering>
or
<obj-plan-numbering>
<obj-plan-number-format><![CDATA.]></obj-plan-number-format>
<obj-plan-number-format><![CDATA.]></obj-plan-number-format>
<obj-plan-number-format><![CDATA.]></obj-plan-number-format>
</obj-plan-numbering>
<obj-plan-number-format><![CDATA.]></obj-plan-number-format>
<obj-plan-number-format><![CDATA.]></obj-plan-number-format>
<obj-plan-number-format><![CDATA.]></obj-plan-number-format>
</obj-plan-numbering>
This configuration must be set in the Goal Plan XML configuration, as a customer, you do not have access to provisioning, it will be necessary to reach out to a SAP Partner or contact the support to evaluate the scenario and if if possible to add this configuration through a Software Change Request ticket.
