Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Full Profile

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Configure latest People Profile.
  2. Attempt to add a new category in full profile.
  3. Observe that the “Add New Category” option is greyed out.

Resolution

The “Add Category” option is currently disabled because the maximum limit of custom categories has already been reached in your system. The system is designed to allow a maximum of 20 custom categories. Since all 20 categories have already been created, the system automatically disables/greyed out the option to add any additional categories.
