3715800 - [Talent Trend Information – Potential] Fields with "View" Visibility Are Editable on People Profile Edit Page, Causing Save Error

Fields configured with view-only visibility are incorrectly rendered as editable on the latest People Profile edit page. When a user attempts to create a new entry in the Potential tab and submits the change, the system throws a validation error: "start-date is not editable" .

1. Configure the visibility of start-date and end-date fields to view in the Talent Trend Information card (Potential).
2. Navigate to the latest People Profile edit page.
3. Open the Potential tab and begin creating a new entry.
4. Fill in all displayed fields, including start-date and end-date.
5. Submit the entry.

Expected Behavior:

• Fields set to view visibility should be rendered as read-only and not accept user input.
• The form should not present non-editable fields as interactive inputs.

Actual Behavior:

• start-date and end-date are rendered as editable inputs, allowing users to enter values.
• Upon submission, the error message is thrown: "start-date is not editable".
• The entry cannot be saved, leaving the user in a broken state after completing the form.

This is a code issue. The frontend is not evaluating the view visibility configuration when rendering the Potential tab's create/edit form, causing view-only fields to be displayed as editable inputs. The backend correctly enforces the restriction and rejects the save, resulting in the error: "start-date is not editable." 

Engineer team confirmed that fix for issue is planned to be delivered in b2605 release in following dates:

13-April - Preview release

15-May - Production release

As workaround we recommend to update the Visibility "view" of fields "start-date" and "end-date" to "edit" or "both" in Manage business configuration.
