2165591 - MDF Object Composite Associations

• Cannot create data for an MDF object, why?
• Cannot search the data for a child object in Manage Data Section, why?
• Cannot associate same MDF object with more than one parent (1711 release update)

• SuccessFactors Cloud HCM:EC MDF Objects
• SuccessFactorc Cloud HCM: Configure Object Definitions

• Check if your affected MDF object is associated to another MDF object with Composite Association type

When an MDF object has a Composite association with another object, this entity being associated is a child entity that does not exist outside the parent object being defined. If an object is referred as a composite child in an object, it cannot be used as a top level object.

Therefore, this is not shown in the drop down in Manage Data --> Create New Object. For example, a Location can have a composite association with an Address Object or a Picklist with Picklist values. An Address object cannot exist without a Location object. When you enter Location details you will see a data grid with Address fields.

Important update: Starting 1711, a composite child MDF object cannot be associated with more than one parent MDF object.
