Symptom

"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental." 

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Make sure Latest People Profile is enabled
  2. Navigate to People Profile
  3. Check for one MDF block that it is displaying an error "No applicable renderer found"

Cause

This issue can be caused by either:

  • Customized standard MDF Field name
    • As an example, the standard field name of "Transaction Sequence Number" should be "transactionSequence".
    • If you change the default name of a standard field to "mdfSystemTransactionSequence", the issue will happen. 
    • It is not only for "Transaction Sequence Number", but also for other system standard fields.

  • The MDF Internal Fields (ex: mdfSystemLastModifiedBy and mdfSystemLastModifiedDate) of a child object was added 
    • The System Internal Field IDs are changed causing the issue ("No applicable renderer found') on the UI.
    • This issue was already handled for parent objects but not on child objects. 

Resolution

For the following issue:

  • Customized standard MDF Field name
    • Engineering team has made a fix in code to make it compatible for customized standard fields.
    • The fix will be released in 1H 2025 (b2505).
    • Workaround: Before the fix version is release, customer could change the customized standard field name back to the default one.

  • The MDF Internal Fields (ex: mdfSystemLastModifiedBy and mdfSystemLastModifiedDate) of a child object was added.
    • The code fix for this will be deployed on 2H 2025 (b2511).
