3738333 - Child mdf field not visible on Latest People Profile while visible in manage data and edit mode

Symptom

  • A child MDF field is not visible on the latest people profile (PPX) page.
  • The same field is visible in the Manage Data page and in Edit mode (PP3).
  • There are no UI rules applied on the test UI screen.
  • The field visibility is set to Yes.
  • The field is not displayed despite the configuration settings.
  • No error message is shown.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Suite

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log in the system.
  2. Navigate to Employee Profile > the parent MDF object.
  3. Select “View All.”
  4. Observe that the specific child MDF field is not visible.
  5. Verify that the same field is visible in Edit mode (PP3) or in Manage Data.

Cause

  • A system defect caused the child MDF field to be ignored when the child field ID was identical to the parent-child association ID.

Resolution

  1. Apply the fix when available: the defect is resolved and scheduled for delivery in the following releases:
  • Preview: 13-Apr-2026
  • Production: 15-May-2026
  1. As a temporary workaround before the fix is deployed, change the association ID to a different value so it does not match the child field ID.
