3059992 - Text Replacement in workflows

Symptom

  • Workflow shows "Submitting XYZ change request for $(First_Name) $(Middle_Initial) $(Last_Name)" when workflow is initiated. By using Text Replacement, we want it to be displayed as "$(Last_Name) $(Middle_Initial) $(First_Name)" but it doesn't get changed. 

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Enter Text Replacement on Search
  2. Scroll till "User_Display_Name" (For English language)
  3. Replace with text to "$(Last_Name) $(Middle_Initial) $(First_Name)"

          4.Click Save and see if this works

          5. Initiate a workflow request it appears as below-:

 

Resolution

  • This is hard coded and expected system behavior.
