3616634 - Dropdown fields showing "No Data" for employees during enrollment or claim after release 1H2025 - Employee Central

Symptom

After 1H2025 Employee's are not able to see values in dropdown values in some fields while accessing enrollment or claim screen, but Manager's are able to see on behalf of the employee. 

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Proxied as Employee;
  2. Go to Benefits;
  3. Try to start or claim for a benefit;
  4. In dropdowns such as "Enrollee Option" or "Insurance Coverage" for example;
  5. The dropdown shows "No Value"
  6. If proxied as HR, after proceeding the same steps on the employee profile, the values are shown as normal. 

Cause

The release 1H2025 brought Enhancements to Role Based Permission Associations for MDF Objects.

"If an MDF object is secured and you lack the necessary role-based permission, the drop down values for the same aren't visible. If the MDF object is not secured, then the Access to non-secured objects permission is respected. If the Enable RBP Target Criteria for Value Help (Only with data type Generic Object) setting is enabled in Provisioning, the drop down list respect the Access to non-secured objects permission and only displays generic objects (GO) you're allowed to access."

Prior to the 1H 2025 release, even if a generic object (GO) was secured with role-based permission, you could still see its values in drop down lists if it was associated with another object, regardless of their permissions.

Resolution

If you have "Enable RBP Target Criteria for Value Help (Only with data type Generic Object)" option enabled in Provisioning, then the secured MDF Objects need to have the specific permission granted to the Employee's Self Role. If the MDF object is not secured, the employee's self role needs to have Access to non-secured objects permission granted.
