Symptom
When using Generative AI, the fields are visibly replaced with values suggested by the tool despite field permissions set to read-only.
Environment
Successfactors Goal Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Set the goal fields to read-only in the goal plan template XML
- Go to Home > Goals > Select a goal to Edit
- Right click in the field and use select any of the Generative AI tools to suggest modifications to the text
- The selected text appears in the field, despite it being greyed out
- Click "Save"
- The system shows an error, saying the goal cannot be saved due to field permissions
Resolution
This is by current system design. The values do not overwrite the text in the read-only fields, as intended. The text appears on the fields, but the user will not be able to save the goal.
