3785653 - Custom MDF card displays "No Data" when all fields are grouped or hidden in Latest People Profile UI

Symptom

When "Enable the latest Viewing, Editing, and History UI on Full Profile (With Non-Configurable UI)" is enabled, and all fields of a custom MDF object are placed within a Group or moved to Hide Fields at the card level, the custom MDF card section displays "No Data" instead of appearing empty.

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

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to Configure Latest People Profile.
  2. Add a custom MDF object card and enable "Enable the latest Viewing, Editing, and History UI on Full Profile (With Non-Configurable UI)".
  3. In the card configuration: place the regular fields within a Group or move the regular fields to Hide Fields.
  4. Ensure that no regular fields remain outside the Group.
  5. Open an employee's profile and access the custom MDF card in Create, Edit, or View Details mode.
  6. Observe that the card section displays "No Data".

Cause

This behavior is a known product limitation in the Latest Viewing, Editing, and History UI on Full Profile. 

Resolution

The fix for this issue is planned to be deployed on 2H 2026 release.

Workaround:
