3567680 - Competency Filter Not Working on Development Plan After TIH Migration

Symptom

  • After migrating to TIH and/or Latest Goal Management, the competency filters no longer work on the Development plan.
  • The filter is set on a specific Library or Category, but all Competencies are visible and selectable instead of only a filtered selection. 

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Succession & Development

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Goals
  2. Go to Development
  3. Select the Development Plan which has competency filters
  4. Create a new Goal from scratch
  5. Verify all Competencies are visible and selectable

Cause

The issue can be caused by the inclusion of the following code in the Development Plan XML: <switch for="show-competency-browser" value="on" />

Resolution

  1. Identify the code in the Development Plan XML.
  2. Change the value from "on" to "off" as follows: <switch for="show-competency-browser" value="off" />
  3. Reupload the plan 
  4. Verify if the issue still occurs.

Note: Using skills in Career Development Planning:

If you are using TIH and if you have configured the competencies field in the development goal plan template, users can use a picker to add skills and competencies to development goals. 

Using <exclude type="skills"/> or <exclude type="questions"/> to exclude the competency type starting with "TYPE_SKILL_" or "TYPE_QUESTION_" isn't supported.

However, <include type="category" match="category name" library="library name"/> isn't supported.

The terms "library" and "category" are replaced with "tag" in Talent Intelligence Hub. You can use either of the following configurations to filter skills and competencies by tag:

...
</default-category>
<competency-filters>
  <exclude type="forms"/>
  <exclude type="roles"/>
  <include type="library" match="tag name"/>
</competency-filters>
<field-definition ...>

...
</default-category>
<competency-filters>
  <exclude type="forms"/>
  <exclude type="roles"/>
  <include type="category" match="tag name"/>
</competency-filters>
<field-definition ...>
