Configuration

Please note the User API is querying the married flag from the User side, whereas when you add new employee and update the married status, this will come from EC Personal Info.

This sync mapping from EC married status to User married is controlled by the EC HRIS sync.

The marital status field of personal info block is configured as a picklist, but the married field in user block is a Boolean. In the code, we will check the picklist value and convert it as below:

(please note,  true for "M" and false for "W/S/D"  are hard coded values and cannot be changed)  

In the picklist center you need to configure the external code like this, otherwise it will not be recognized by the system:

When adding a new hire or updating the personal info block on people profile page for existing employees, the converted Boolean value will be true for "M" and false for "W/S/D". If you define any other external code, it will not be synced to the User side.
