3305510 - Error message appears when trying to add a link using the target popup window option - Recruiting Management

Symptom

When trying to add a URL in the Job Profile tab in a Job Requisition by using the pop-up window option, the tab doesn't save and it throws an error:

"You can't save the sections ([SECTION NAME]) because they contain non-alphanumeric text. The use of non-alphanumeric text may create potential vulnerabilities for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Update each of the sections to use only alphanumeric text."

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

Cause

"Pop-up Window" as of now is not supported.

Resolution

The editor available to be used in the job description sections pertain to a tool called CKEditor, which is a 3rd party tool that SAP SuccessFactors uses to edit the text. Due to that, SAP has no control over the options available, which is why it's still displaying although is not supported.

In b2305 release, a text will be added right next to the label to indicate that the option is not supported.
