3237988 - Ability to add/remove fields on Select Goal from the Library page - Goal Management

Symptom

When adding Library Goal to goal plan, the fields displayed on the 'Select Goal from the Library' screen do not follow the field mapping configuration in Goal Template. 

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 Performance & Goals

Reproducing the Issue

1. Added "name" "desc" "metric" fields in the <field-mapping> element in Goal Template XML. 

    <obj-library name="My Goal Library" id="100">
    <field-mapping src-library-field-id="name" dst-field-id="name"/>
    <field-mapping src-library-field-id="desc" dst-field-id="desc"/>
    <field-mapping src-library-field-id="metric" dst-field-id="metric"/>  
    </obj-library>
 
2. Imported Goal Library by uploading a CSV file which includes "name" "desc" "metric" field values.

3. When adding Library Goal to goal plan, it only shows the values of 'name' and 'metric' on the ‘Select Goal from the Library’ screen. The "desc" field value can't be found.  
 

Resolution

The 'Select Goal from the Library' page is a hard-coded UI where it only shows "name" and "metric" fields in the tree node. 

It is not supported to add any other field here, such as "desc", or rearrange fields on this page.

Additionally, the field-mapping element in Goal Template XML is deprecated. Please remove it from XML. 

    <obj-library name="My Goal Library" id="100">
    <field-mapping src-library-field-id="name" dst-field-id="name"/>
    <field-mapping src-library-field-id="desc" dst-field-id="desc"/>
    <field-mapping src-library-field-id="metric" dst-field-id="metric"/>  
    </obj-library>
