3519630 - Composite level restrictions behavior for MDF objects

Symptom

  • Restriction behavior on composite level association for custom MDF object.
  • A third level (child) custom MDF object is visible in Manage Data but cannot be seen in the Manage Configuration UI.

Environment

  • SAP Successfactors HCM Suite
  • Metadata Framework (MDF)

Resolution

MDF objects have composite level restrictions for both standard and custom objects. Custom MDF objects cannot exceed 2 levels of composites, and standard objects cannot exceed 3 levels.

Manage Configuration UI itself does not impose any restriction on composite levels; however, only level 1 and 2 are delivered in the Manage Configuration UI. If a 3rd level of composite associations is required to be visible in the Manage Configuration UI, it will be needed to manually add this field. 

More details can be found in the Help guide: Composite Level Restrictions for MDF Objects.
