With current system behavior, once an attribute has been added to someone's Growth Portfolio or used in other modules such as performance form, job profile and so on, the proficiency level scale mapping can no longer be changed.
There is an existing Improvement Request logged here: Update ProficiencySet for LibraryType. Please vote on it to let Product Management know the functionality is important to your organization.

Workaround:

• Create a new proficiency rating scale and change the mapping firstly. After that, import attributes.
• A new attribute type can be created by following the steps in Creating an Attribute Type . You could map the rating scale desired to the new attribute type.

Rating Levels:

Scenario1 : In cases where customer has not yet created an Attribute based on an Attribute Type and now wants to change the Proficiency Level Scale

Best Practice:

As a best practice, customers should determine the appropriate Proficiency Level Scale for each Attribute Type before creating specific attributes. It's recommended to adjust the scale for an Attribute Type before creating any associated attributes."

For example: If a "Skill" attribute type initially has a 1-5 proficiency level scale and needs to be changed to a 1-4 scale, this change should be made before creating any specific skill attributes based on that type. This should be the first step in the configuration process of implementing Talent Intelligence Hub.

Scenario 2: In cases where customer has already created an Attribute based on an Attribute Type and now wants to change the Proficiency Level Scale

If none of the Attributes based on that Attribute Type have been assigned to any employee's Growth Portfolio, you can still modify its Proficiency level Scale. It's recommended to make this change during the initial configuration stages to avoid potential complications later on.

However, If an Attribute has already been assigned to an employee's Growth Portfolio, changing the Proficiency Level Scale of the associated Attribute Type is not possible.
