3685674 - Unable to restrict development goals to a single competency

Symptom

Despite using the XML code 'use-competencies-single', the system allows the selection of multiple competencies per development goal.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Career Development Planning

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Insert the following XML code in the development plan template:

       <field-definition id="competency" type="competencies" required="false"  detail="false"  viewdefault="on"  showlabel="false" field-show-                coaching-advisor="false">
       <field-label>Competencies</field-label>
       <field-description>Competencies</field-description>
        <field-format>use-competencies-single</field-format>
       </field-definition>

       2. Attempt to create a development goal.

       3. Observe that the system allows the selection of multiple competencies despite the configuration.

Cause

This is the expected behaviour when instance is on Latest Goal Management.

Resolution

Using <field-format>use-competencies-single</field-format> to allow users to select only one competency isn't supported in the latest Goal Management

Refer to the SAP Help Portal documentation on supported and unsupported features in the Latest Goal Management :Supported and Unsupported Features | SAP Help Portal.
