Symptom
In the Manage Configuration UI (DocumentGenerationOverviewConfigUIMeta), the Template Content field is displayed using the updated and standardized Rich Text Editor as expected. However, in Manage Data, the Template Content field is rendered as plain text, and the Rich Text Editor view is not available.

Environment
- SAP SucccessFactors HCM suite
- SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the instance.
- Go to Manage Configuration UI.
- Open DocumentGenerationOverviewConfigUIMeta and confirm the Template Content field shows the editor.
- Go to Manage Data.
- Search for the relevant document generation object and note the Template Content field displays as plain text without the editor.
Cause
The default screen was not associated with the object for document generation, causing Manage Data to render the Template Content field as plain text.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, ensure that the Default Screen is configured for the DocumentGenerationTemplate object.
- Navigate to Configure Object Definition.
- Open the DocumentGenerationTemplate object.
- Verify that the Default Screen is added to the object configuration.
- Ensure it is not empty, as shown in the image below.
- Add the required fields to the Default Screen according to the document template you intend to use.
