Symptom
- The Employee status field values are showing up option ID's when the report is generated in French
- The Report works fine when its generated in English.
- The Employee status picklist has default values maintained. So the expectation is to have default value come up if French translation is not maintained which is not happening
Environment
- SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
- SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
- Maintain a default value for a picklist but not a language specific value.
- Generate the report in a language where the translation is not maintained
- Notice that the report includes option ID's and not the Default values
Cause
- Engineering team confirmed it is expected behavior based on the default language of logged in user, translations available and default company language.
Resolution
- Add the Translation in the picklist (Both child and parent) for that specific language
- The expected behavior the way locale degradation works: Logged in user Locale — > Company Locale Default value. First logged in user's language translation will be used to display the picklist translations if available, if not then company default language translation will be used.
