Resolution
It is currently not possible to remove or add fields in the Candidate Profile Snapshot/More Information section.
It is only possible to have a user edit the values for the fields using the Edit Candidate Profile Snapshot permission - 2081624 - Edit Candidate Profile Snapshot - Recruiting Management
- Note :
Custom fields configured in the Candidate Profile Template (CPT) do appear in the "More Information" / Candidate Profile Snapshot section on the Application UI — this is the expected, by-design behavior. - The field-definition elements defined in the CPT (both standard and custom) are what drive the rendering of the "More Information" section. Fields are displayed in the order they are configured in the CPT XML.
- The "standard fields only" restriction applies exclusively to the value synchronization / pre-population mechanism between the Candidate Profile and the Application template (i.e., syncing values into matching Application template fields during snapshot generation). This is a sync constraint, not a rendering or display constraint.
- Custom fields defined in the CPT with a unique field ID and field type will appear in the snapshot section as long as they have been populated by the candidate, regardless of whether a matching field ID exists on the Application template.
- For custom fields to function as Candidate Summary Display Options in the Candidate Workbench (a separate feature), they must additionally be made reportable via Provisioning → Configure Reportable Custom Fields, and existing data must be synchronized. This is a separate requirement from snapshot rendering
