3496760 - Individual Work Schedule Obejct page field attributes in people profile not reflecting as configured

Symptom

The field attributes in Work Schedule Object Definition are not respected while creating an Individual Work Schedule through "Find a Work Schedule" feature in Job Information and also via Administer Time UI, whereas it is being respected while creating a work schedule through Manage Data.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Time Off

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Set the field attributes in Work Schedule object definition as per your requirement. For example, in the Work Schedule object definition, set "Average Working Days Per Week" field as a mandatory field and "Average Hours Per Day" as a read-only field.
  2. Create a Work Schedule from Manage Data. The above-mentioned field attributes are respected as per the object definition.
  3. Create an individual work schedule through "Find a Work Schedule" feature in Job Info. The field attributes are not respected as per the object definition. The fields appear as non-mandatory and editable. 

Cause

Engineering team has confirmed that this is an expected behavior. 

The Create Individual Work Schedule UI from Job Information and also from Administer Time UI were not designed to respect the object definition configuration. However, if a field is set to "Required" in the object definition, users will receive an error if a mandatory field is left blank while saving the work schedule.

Resolution

Currently, the field attributes configured in the object definition will only be respected in Manage Data screen.

The Work Schedule Finder functionality is expected to be enhanced in the future releases.
