3062919 - FieldMetaOverrideConfiguration error "Enter a valid Metadata Override Configuration ID." - Onboarding

Symptom

When configuring the FieldMetaOverrideConfiguration, when clicking Save, any of the below errors are observed


1)Error: Enter a valid Metadata Override Configuration ID.

2)Error: Enter the override field metadata for workcountry in a valid JSON format. 

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

Reproducing the Issue

1. Go to Manage Data -> Create New -> FieldMetaOverrideConfiguration

2. Fill up the necessary information (As per KBA https://me.sap.com/notes/2993877 )

3. Click on Save

4. Error will show

Cause

There are 2 reasons for this issue:

1. The ID used was incorrect

2. This is caused by incorrect encoding format of the fieldMetadata.

Resolution

Here are the solutions for this case:

1. Make sure that the ID used should be "GLOBAL_FILTER_CONFIG"
2. The overrideFieldsMeta should be copied first in notepad++ (so that I can be sure that UTF-8 was used) and paste it in the configuration.

3. Even if pasting from Notepad++ doesn't work, Type out the overrideFieldsMeta manually and save
