Symptom
On the Workflow Details page or the workflow approval page, some fields are displayed multiple times even though they are configured only once.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HCM Core
Reproducing the Issue
- Submit a workflow for the affected object.
- As the workflow approver, go to the Manage Workflow Requests page and check the details.
- You will notice that certain fields are duplicated or repeated.
Cause
-
A group is created in the UI without any fields added, resulting in an empty group being displayed in the configuration interface.
-
Empty groups are not supported and may lead to inconsistencies in the display format.
Resolution
-
In the object definition of the workflow base object, verify the UI set under ‘Default Screen’.
-
Then, go to Manage Configuration UI and search for this UI.
-
Locate the empty group and either remove it or add fields to it.
