2968958 - First name, Middle name and Last name fields are show for new hire workflow - Employee Central

Symptom

  • New hire workflow shows First name or Middle name or Last name fields even though it is set to not visible in Manage Business Configuration
  • Add Contingent Worker workflow shows First name or Middle name or Last name fields even though it is set to not visible in Manage Business Configuration

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Cause

Enhancement was introduced with the 1905 code base and displaying all three fields is the designed behavior.

Resolution

  • For the fields "First Name", "Middle Name" and "Last Name", the current behaviour is to always display them by ignoring the visibility of these 3 fields since they are key and special fields for new hire/contingent worker case. 
  • On workflow page, the workflow subject line always displays the new hire employee's full name, no matter the visibility configuration of any name field in data model.
