3267847 - New Country/Region value cannot be saved on job application page - Recruiting Management

Symptom

  • New country/region value on candidate profile cannot be synced to job application page.
  • It turns No Selection when trying to save a new country/region value on job application page.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Add a new value to the standard picklist "country".
  2. Create a candidate profile and select the new value. 
  3. Forward the candidate to a requisition or the candidate applies to a requisition.
  4. The country/region value does not show under More Information on Job Application page.
  5. Select the new country/region value and try to save it.
  6. It changes back to "No Selection".

Cause

Once a change happened for any picklist, the recruiting picklist cache needs to refresh and make the changes available on the career site. This refresh may take up to 48 hours to happen.

Resolution

Please wait at least 48 hours after making changes to the "country" picklist.

If the situation persists, you need to force a refresh on the company cache.
