Symptom

Milestone table field is not updating when the Goal is cascaded without write permissions granted

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Performance & Goals

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a personal goal for a user who will cascade goals.
  2. Click "Cascade Goal" button.
  3. Edit the Parent goal, updating multiple fields the Milestones table field included.
  4. Cascade the changed goal.
  5. Observe that all the fields are updated, but the Milestone field contains initial values from the parent goal.

Cause

Write permissions are not granted for Milestone field in the Goal plan xml.

Resolution

By design "Write" permissions are required for the Milestone field to be changed during goal cascading.

To fix the issue add "Write" permissions to the Goal plan xml.
