3752809 - Mentoring custom picklist question: "matching based on" only becomes editable when marked as key question

Mentoring custom picklist question: "matching based on" only becomes editable when marked as key question.

 SAP SuccessFactors Succession & Development - Mentoring

1. Configure a custom picklist for use as a matching criterion in mentoring program settings.
2. Create a new supervised mentoring program.
3. In the signup form, add a question.
4. Set the question category to the custom picklist.
5. Observe that "Matching based on" is greyed out and defaults to "Preferences".
6. Mark the question as a "Key Question"; the "Matching based on" field becomes editable.

The "matching type" field is incorrectly enabled when toggling the "key question" checkbox.

The fix for this issue is planned to be deployed in the 2H 2026 release (b2611), October 12, 2026, for Preview instances and November 13–14, 2026, for Production instances
