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
- Log in the system.
- Navigate to Employee Profile > the parent MDF object.
- Select “View All.”
- Observe that the specific child MDF field is not visible.
- 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
- 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
- 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.
