3669544 - Time Forms Are Shown with Dash (-) Instead Of Blank/Empty Value - 2H 2025

Symptom

Time Forms when generated, the empty tokens are shown with Dash/hyphen (-) instead of blank/empty Value.

"All the images from this instance are from our internal test instances, any resemblance with real environments are mere coincidence"

Environment

SAP Successfactors Employee Central - Time Off

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create Time Form Template
  2. Map the template tokens. Map one (or more) of the tokens with rule where the THEN condition of the rule is empty.
  3. Before 2H 2025: When Time Form was generated, the above token was populated as blank (just like the rule)
  4. After 2H 2025: When Time Form is generated, the token is populated as dash (-) instead of blank

Resolution

  • This is expected behaviour from 2H 2025 release.
  • When no value is provided, the empty space is replaced with a hyphen (-) to preserve the row’s layout and dimensions.
