3781204 - UI business rule on mdf object makes fields read-only for users is not working as expected

UI rule configured to prevent users from editing the fields is working for some users and as expected and others not.

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Core

1. Create or use an MDF object with a UI rule that sets fields to read-only based on a condition (for example, a status value).
2. Ensure the rule’s condition references a specific MDF field..
3. Assign role-based permissions (RBP) so that some users do not have permission to view the field referenced by the UI rule.
4. As a user without permission to the referenced field, open the MDF object in People Profile and attempt to edit.
5. Observe that the fields remain editable for these users, while users with permission to the referenced field see the fields as read-only.

The field referenced in the UI rule is not present on the UI for affected users due to RBP overrides. Because the referenced field is not available, the rule condition is not met and the UI rule does not run as expected.

1. Identify the field(s) referenced in the UI rule conditions.
2. Update role-based permissions so affected users have at least view access to the referenced field(s), ensuring the field is available on the UI for those users.
3. Save permissions, run an MDF object definition to database sync if applicable, and clear browser cache or reload the page.
4. Re-test as the affected users to confirm the UI rule now applies and fields are read-only as intended.
