Symptom
It's possible to add more decimals than it's set in the Goal Management template field-format xml configuration
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Latest Goal Management
Reproducing the Issue
1. Add field-format xml configuration to number or percent type of field.
2. Create a goal and notice that it's possible to add more decimals to these fields.
3. Save the goal successfully, no error is triggered.
4. Open the created goal in "View Details" mode by clicking the Goal and see that field-format xml configuration is respected there.
Resolution
This is the current system design for the Latest Goal Management for both standard and custom fields.
This is to ensure accuracy and precision during editing, so that auto-population or calculation results would be displayed in full and don't get truncated.
