Symptom
Candidates are able to enter a space value (“ “) into the application required fields, and they are able to apply to job requisitions when CX is enabled.
Candidate Profile fields that have the space value entered are validated upon applying, and are identified as blank and therefore they must be populated. Application fields are not.
Environment
- SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
- Redesigned Candidate Experience
