2980522 - What is the expected behavior of MiddleNameInitial field? - Onboarding 1.0

Symptom

Middle Initial value is not populating in the Approve and Review panel.

Environment

SuccessFactors Onboarding 1.0 - All Versions

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate SuccessFactors system
  2. During NES, enter the value in Middle Initial field.
  3. Move the activity until "Review and Approve" panel

Result: Middle Initial field is empty.

Cause

No value in MiddleName key ignores the logic to pull the First Letter from the candidate's middle name.

Resolution

Expected Behavior of MiddleNameInitial key:

  • System examines first the value in the MiddleName key 

                      For Example: White

  • System will copy the first letter (W - White) from the value of MiddleName to  auto-populate in the "Middle Initial" field.

Note: Entering middle initial value manually in the key "MiddleNameInitial" will always result as empty field in Review and Approve panel and data will not be saved in the HRdata record.
