3713816 - Multiple Job Requisition Fields (Picklist, Object, Operator) Display Empty and Not Editable - Recruiting Management

• Certain fields in Job Requisitions appear empty (no value displayed and not editable) even though field permissions are correctly configured.
• This issue impacts Picklist, Object, and Operator fields and occurs only in specific languages that use custom translations.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

1. Open any job requisition.
2. Observe that several fields, such as picklist fields, operator fields, and object fields, appear blank and cannot be edited.
3. Open the browser console and note the following JavaScript error:
   "Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token"
   "Uncaught ReferenceError: RCMJobReqRenderer is not defined"

The custom translation for the following warning message contains an invalid \n (newline) character, which triggers a JavaScript parsing error:

• Key: RCM_JOB_REQ_MULTI_POSITION_NO_OF_OPENING_WARNING
• Example of problematic custom message: The value for {0} is {1}. Review the value entered to confirm it’s correct per the number of positions assigned to the requisition.\nDo you want to save the requisition with the current value for {2}?

1. Navigate to Manage Languages.
2. Open the Custom Translation for the affected language.
3. Search for RCM_JOB_REQ_MULTI_POSITION_NO_OF_OPENING_WARNING.
4. Click Modify
5. Remove "\n" from the text.
6. Click OK.
7. Wait until this change takes effect.

Prevention

The issue does not occur when "\n" is used in the default translation. However, to prevent future issues caused by misuse of "\n" in translations, the default translations for this warning message will be updated to remove the newline character. 

This improvement is planned for the 1H 2026 Release. For release timelines, please review SAP SuccessFactors Product Release & Road Map Information.
