Symptom
- A custom token [[cust_StartTime]] mapped to the Start Date & Time field (cust_startTime) on the custom task ONB2 Task Hiring Manager Activities in SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding only resolves the date in email notifications.
- The time component of the DateTime data type field is not displayed in the email notification.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a custom token [[cust_StartTime]] for a custom email generated at the completion of a custom onboarding task.
- Map the custom token to the Start Date & Time field (cust_startTime) on the custom task ONB2 Task Hiring Manager Activities.
- Generate the email notification.
- Observe that the token resolves only the date and does not include the time component.
Cause
- This behavior is expected for the DateTime data type field when mapped to a token. The system is designed to capture only the date component, and the time component cannot be captured.
Resolution
- This is a product limitation: Onboarding email tokens for Date Time fields currently only render the date part, not the time, even if the underlying field is Date Time and stores time correctly.
