3454312 - Error when changing Date Patterns - Pattern ID is invalid

Symptom

Error when changing Date Patterns - Pattern ID is invalid

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Learning

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Learning Administration
  2. References
  3. Manage Labels
  4. Locales
  5. Search for French
  6. Change to 'Date Patterns' tab
  7. select custom date pattern 'dd.MM.yyyy'
  8. Receiving application error - Pattern ID is invalid.

Cause

    The customer does not have the "dd.MM.yyyy" date pattern in their environment since it is not added by default.

    Resolution

    The date pattern dd.MM.yyyy was not included in -

    1. References
    2. Calendar & Time
    3. Date Format Patterns: add new pattern with "dd.MM.yyyy."
    4. Then they can go back and add it under the locale settings successfully as per the replication steps.

    Note: Another option is to use a pattern that is under Calendar & Time and Date Format Patterns for example such as - dd.mm.yyyy (lower case)
