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 Goal Management
  • SAP SuccessFactors Career Development Planning
  • SAP SuccessFactors Performance Management

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Home dropdown > Goals
  2. Create Now or Create Goal > Create New
  3. Can see a Category dropdown

OR

  1. Home dropdown > Development Goals
  2. Add Development Goal
  3. Can see a Category dropdown

OR

  1. Home dropdown > Performance
  2. In Goal Section, select Add Goal
  3. Can see a Category dropdown

Cause

This is expected behavior.

Resolution

This is the same behavior in Legacy Goals and is intended to streamline the functionality:

  • If control-category-element is not configured, the category field will still be visible during Create/Edit/Copy/Cascade Edit/Assign Edit pages.
  • If control-category-element is configured, then the field definition and/or permissions must be configured to control who sees the category dropdown.
