Symptom
- A business rule configured to compare a dependent’s previous and current first name instead compares the employee’s first name with the dependent’s current first name.
- Behavior occurs in the latest people profile.
- No explicit error message is shown; issue observed via rule trace and outcome.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Dependents Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to a user’s Dependents information in People Profile and select Edit for a dependent’s personal information.
- Change the First Name (and/or Last Name) field where an onChange business rule is assigned.
- Review the rule trace: the rule executes but compares the employee’s first name to the dependent’s current first name.
Cause
This is a known defect.
Resolution
- Note that there is no immediate workaround available.
- Plan to consume the fix when it is delivered with the 2H2026 release.
- After the 2H2026 update is applied to your environment, retest the onChange rule in Dependents Personal Information to confirm correct behavior.
- Monitor this KBA for updates.
