3210141 - Need to click anywhere outside the field, to trigger onChange rule - Employee Central

Symptom

  • Need to click anywhere outside the field, to trigger onChange rule
  • The system requests twice clicks over save button when one the fields has assigned OnChange rules

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Have Field 1 with onChange rule configured
  2. Go to Employee Profile
  3. Go to target block and edit
  4. Update data for Field 1
  5. Click: Save

Resolution

This is a system expected behavior, you need to click anywhere outside the field, to trigger the onChange business rule.

So, if clicking directly on the Save button, you will need to twice click, as the first time the browser is just triggering the onChange action, not hitting Save button, and second time you are in fact clicking in the Save button.
