3634393 - Primay Flag field is visible in Emergency Contact Information even though the field is not configured in BCUI

• The primary_flag field is displayed on the Emergency Contact Information portlet on the UI, even though the field is not configured in Manage Business Configuration/ Succession data model.
• Upon trying to make any changes to the portlet in Manage Business Configuration, this error pops up - "To save the change, you must set Enabled to “Yes”, Mandatory to “Yes” and Visibility to “Edit” for the primary_flag field."

Even if the 'primary_flag' is not present in BCUI/ data model - it will be present in the Emergency Contact portlet. This is because, the field 'primary_flag' has default visibility as 'both' - this is done at the code-level of the system. Please refer the Data Model Field Information - Emergency Contact | SAP Help Portal.  

It is recommended to add and enable the field 'primary_flag' in BCUI so that, there is more control on the field (change the label as required).
