3022649 - Field Level Permission Not Respected In Time Off Mobile App

Symptom

  • A custom field in EmployeeTime object is configured with field-level permission as no access via RBP.

Environment

Reproducing the Issue

  3. The custom field is visible despite the field-level permission is set as "No Access" in the Role-Based Permissions.
  4. When we check in Desktop browser >Time Off Request UI, the custom field is not visible which is the correct behaviour.
