Symptom
Job requisition fields are not editable even though all permissions are correctly configured.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Recruiting
- Select any Job Requisition
- notice that fields that have write permission for the user in that status are not editable
Cause
A custom translation for the message key RECRUITING_CLOSE_JOB_REQ_CONFIRM used double quotes around the phrase “Requisition Closed”, causing a string termination syntax error.
This prevented field types from loading and led to a “RCMJobReqRenderer is not defined” error in the UI.
Resolution
- Open the custom translation for the message key RECRUITING_CLOSE_JOB_REQ_CONFIRM
- Replace the double quotes around Requisition Closed with single quotes
- Save the change
- Reopen a job requisition and verify that fields load and are editable
