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
