3229173 - HTML tag behaviour in Integration Center

Symptom

In the Integration Center (IC), when fetching data, the user's data contains HTML tags. These tags, specifically the <ul> and <li> tags, are causing the data to be displayed as a bulleted list or broken lines.

See the example below:

"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental"

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create an IC job;
  2. Include a field containing HTML tags;
  3. See the bulleted list or broken lines;

Cause

This is happening because the <ul> tag defines an unordered (bulleted) list and the <li> tag defines a list item.

Resolution

To correct this issue, the HTML tags need to be removed.

To do this, you can comment out the HTML code using the <!> tags.

OBS.: Browsers won't show these notes.

OBS2.: Commenting in HTML allows developers to leave notes about their code, its functionality or to indicate necessary changes for the future.

To implement this solution, follow the steps below:

  1. Go to Configure Field > Detail View > select the affected field > three lines icon > Edit Calculation;
  2. Define the following settings:



  3. After applying the calculation, the data will be displayed correctly without the bulleted list or broken lines:
