3383859 - Value from Additional data collection is not passing to E-Signature form - Onboarding

Symptom

Mapping between Additional Data Collection fields and PDF forms is configured, however once candidate clicks to sign form, these values are blank/did not pass.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a text field in the PDF form and upload the form in maintain onboarding and offboarding document template.
  2. Map the text field with the custom data collection text field.
  3. Initiate onboarding for a candidate and complete the custom data collection step.
  4. In the signature step you will see the value of the custom data collection field is not appearing

Cause

In the respective Process Variant:

  1. The Custom Data Collection and Document Flow step are configured in parallel.
  2. Document Flow is configured before Personal Data or Custom Data Collection.

Resolution

Since form generation is a service task and Additional Data Collection (ADC) is a user task, form generation will always finish before the New Hire completes Additional Data step and the form will be generated with empty values for ADC mappings.

To resolve this, please ensure Document Flow block is configured in process variant after Additional Data Collection block in sequence, so that values are present for ADC mappings during form generation.
