3655834 - Field Search with Space does not return expected results in Time Sheet UI

Symptom

When searching for a value in a field (e.g. Cost Center) on the Time Sheet UI by entering text that includes a space, the field search returns all items instead of narrowing down the results.

Also, when you enter the text in the field and hit Enter, the system returns error message "Value "X Y" does not exist".

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Time Sheet

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Record time data
  2. Search for a value with text that includes a space
  3. All items are shown

Cause

This is the current design. The system cannot detect a 'space' entered in the field. When a space is entered, the system returns all items. This behavior also occurs with custom fields under the Employee Time Sheet Entry object.

Resolution

As a workaround, please search by using a specific value rather than a text that includes a space.
