1. Navigate to Manage Business Configuration;
2. Create a Person Type;
3. Set a field as mandatory;
4. Go to the profile of any employee;
5. Notice the field set as mandatory is still non mandatory.

The corresponding HRIS Element has Country/Region maintained.

When the HRIS Element has Country Specific (Country/Region) configuration maintained, Person Type needs to be configured inside of the Country Specific configuration.

To solve the issue, in Manage Business Configuration:

1. Either configure Person Type inside of employee's Country Specific (Country/Region);
2. Or remove all the Country Specifics (Country/Region) from the HRIS Element.
