3783887 - Multi-Select Picklists Are Not Supported for MDF Custom Objects

Symptom

Administrators would like to configure a field in a Metadata Framework (MDF) object that allows end users to select multiple values from a picklist to store more than one selected value.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

Cause

MDF object picklist fields support only a single selected value. Multi-select picklists are not currently supported for MDF object fields. Additionally, the Latest People Profile does not provide functionality to enable multi-value selection for MDF picklist fields.

Resolution

If a business process requires the storage of multiple values, consider alternative design approaches such as creating separate fields for each selection.

If multi-select picklists is required, submit an Enhancement Request through the SAP Customer Influence portal for evaluation by the Product Management team. See KBA 2090228  - How to submit enhancement ideas for SAP SuccessFactors Product for more information.
