3420959 - When trying to "insert new record" in a Custom portlet in employee profile the page keep loading

Symptom

Users are unable to insert a new record record in a Custom Portlet in Employee Profile

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
Metadata framework (MDF)

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Employee Profile.
  2. Try clicking on the "Pencil Icon" or "Clock Icon" > Insert New Record > Add on a custom MDF portlet.

Cause

  • There is a onChange rule that is setting the start date to null.
  • PP3 Ui does not support onChange rule on fields like effective start date. So it is not allowed to set the start date as null.

Resolution

  • Either remove the rule or set to some value.
  • From MDF side we suggest not to change this field via rule but rather ask the end user to select specific value needed.
