Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

Cause

This issue is caused by one of the following:

  • Invalid Picklist Configuration - Adding an picklist to a standard picklist field.
    A standard picklist field is a field which displays drop down values without adding an external picklist.
    Example:  Gender field: No need to add an external picklist to gender field.By default this field will display values.

  • Obsolete Picklist Value - A field in the portlet having an obsolete value maintained.
    The value that was selected for a field in the portlet, has since been set to Obsolete in the picklist file.

Resolution

Highlight the field causing the error and correct configuration or value selection.
