3093680 - Adhoc Report Shows Option ID Instead Of Labels When The Language Is Set As French

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

  1. Maintain a default value for a picklist but not a language specific value.
  2. Generate the report in a language where the translation is not maintained
  3. 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.
