Symptom
Behavior of forwarded candidates in application pipeline
Environment
SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Forward a candidate to a job requisition.
- Move the candidate to the next step in pipeline without filling up the required fields.
Cause
Forwarded candidates can move to the next application status without completing any required fields
Resolution
This is expected behavior. Required fields on the application do not apply to forwarded candidates. Forwarded candidates can move through the pipeline without completing required application fields
Additional note:
This will not happen when the update is done via ODATA API call:
in this case any mandatory field should be provided in order to succed the call. This is the current design of ODATA service.
