3703829 - Spell Check Functionality Unsupported in Workflow Comment Field

Symptom

The comment box on the workflow page does not have spell check when a manager is processing a request. "Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental."  

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
  • SAP SuccessFactors Time Tracking

Reproducing the Issue
