3601837 - Automatic Translation of 'Name' and 'Abbreviation Name' Fields in MDF Objects

• The 'Name' and 'Abbreviation Name' fields in the MDF object Department(For Example) are not automatically translated.
• The translations in these fields have the same description text as the one entered in the default field, regardless of the country in which the MDF object is created.
• The issue arises when the proposal entered in the Default field does not automatically complete the other translation fields.

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

1. Create an MDF object Department for example.
2. Enter the description text in the default field.
3. Observe that the translation fields do not automatically populate with the entered text.

This behavior is due to a current product limitation.

1. Currently, there is no standard configuration available to automatically populate the translation fields from the Default field in MDF objects.
2. Consider raising an Enhancement Request through the SAP Influence Portal if this functionality is important to the business.
3. As a possible workaround, explore using a Business Rule to copy the Default field value to translation fields. However, this is a custom configuration and it is recommended to work with an internal team or a certified SAP Partner to assess its feasibility.
