Symptom
- Customer is reporting that Picklist Management and Manage Picklist Migration Conflicts is still showing in the instance
- Customer is asking how to migrate legacy picklist to MDF
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HCM
Reproducing the Issue
- Login to the instance using the support access provided
- Type Picklist in the search bar. You will see that "Picklist Management" and "Manage Picklist Migration Conflicts" are available.
- Go to Manage Picklist Migration Conflicts. It shows error: "" is of type string, expected sap.ui.core.MessageType for property "type" of Element sap.m.MessageStrip#__strip1
- Go to Picklist Center, you will see message: Legacy picklists have not been migrated yet. To manage them, go to Picklists Management
Cause
No action was done on the instance at the time of Picklist Migration. Migration conflicts should've been addressed then and since there were no actions taken, the instance is stuck with old legacy picklist (Picklist Management that was deprecated more than a year ago).
Resolution
Picklist Migration has been completed a few years ago. The engineering team will not carry out picklist migrations anymore.
The only way forward for this issue is to refresh the affected instance from a source instance that has been migrated already to MDF picklists.
