Symptom
A field order was defined in Object Definitions, however this is not respected in Manage Data when looking at object definitions.
E.g.:
Object Definitions:
Manage Data:
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
Cause
This is due conditional fields defined in object definitions fields. In my example Department and Job Code depends of Type field to appear because of conditional field configuration:
Hence system will order in way that conditional parent field will always be the first and new fields will be child associations.
Resolution
This is expected behavior of field order when conditional fields are in place, hence please consider the conditional fields order when implementing it.
