3778388 - Unsaved changes warning shown after saving the People Profile Data Display setting: Show External Codes - SAP SuccessFactors

• After changing the Show External Codes option and clicking Save in People Profile Data Display setting, attempting to close the dialog, a warning is shown even though the change is saved.
• Warning message: “Warning: You have unsaved changes. Closing the dialog will discard your changes.”
• Selecting “Discard and Continue” closes the window but the change remains saved.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

1. Select the profile icon on the top right side of the screen.
2. Select Settings.
3. Select People Profile Data Display from the left-hand menu.
4. Toggle the Show External Codes checkbox.
5. Click the Save button.
6. Click Close to exit the settings dialog; the unsaved changes warning appears despite the save having succeeded.

This is caused by a known coding issue: after saving the changes, the internal state is not updated, causing the unsaved-changes check to incorrectly indicate pending changes on dialog close.

• A code fix has been completed and is planned for delivery in the 2H 2026 release. Please check the SAP SuccessFactors Product Release & Road Map for the release timelines.
• Until the fix is available, if the warning appears after saving, select “Discard and Continue.” The setting remains correctly saved and no data is lost.
