2950969 - Is it possible to pull the primary value from an mfield via OData API - Recruiting Management

Symptom

Is it possible to pull the primary value from an mfield via OData API?

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

Resolution

No, it is not possible to distinguish which is the primary selected value when querying the values from mfields via OData API. When querying in a mfield via OData API, the system will return all the values selected on that field, but no identification o which is the primary one.

Due to the current architecture of the system, the mfields are not providing the primary value via API, the only field that provides that is the Object typed field with multi-select enabled.
