3686913 - Is it possible to configure a custom multiselect picklist field in Job Requisition template? - Recruiting Management

Symptom

In Job Requisition Template XML, define a custom picklist field with attribute multiselect="true". Example:

<field-definition id="customPicklist" type="picklist" required="true" custom="true" multiselect="true">

Uploading the template in Provisioning gives this validation error:

Error: Field "customPicklist" cannot have multiselect="true"

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

Cause

The property "multiselect" can have the value "true" only if the field is identified as multiselect field.

This means you can only use multiselect="true" for standard mfield ids (1-15) and standard object fields that support multiselect (Location and Position). These standard fields are designed to be multiselect.

Resolution

Define a new field using one of the available mfield(1-15) id or if it's applicable, use the standard Location and Position object fields.

Note: When using cascading picklists, both parent and child fields have the same configuration for multiselect attribute (See KBA 2807403).
