3098194 - Users with write permissions to a Child field cannot edit the field

A user who has read permission to a Parent field, and write permissions to the Child field cannot update a field

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management 

1. A user is permissioned with read access to a Parent field, and write access to the associated Child field
2. The user cannot edit the Child field

The system is designed that users must be granted write permission to both Parent and Child fields.

This behaviour has been confirmed as expected by Product Management. If you wish to see a change to this behaviour, we recommend creating an enhancement request in the Community Portal.
