Missing the option in the rule for Job Information.

You may include Job Information in the customer’s rule as well so the system knows where the data change is coming from – so the second parameter for (optional) Job Information should look like the screenshot below.

** The rule will set the Compensation Information.Pay Group field with the return value of the function Get Generic Object Default Value() based on the  “Pay Group” configuration (first parameter on the right-hand side) and based on the data record being changed which contains the “employer/employee group leading fields” (in this case is Job Information – second parameter on the right-hand side)
