2578266 - Field Base Object is Missing from Dynamic Roles - Employee Central

• The  field "Base Object is missing from Dynamic Roles in Manage Organization, Pay and Job Structures.
• This field is used to determine if the Dynamic Role is to be used for Job Information or Position changes and is required to successfully use Dynamic Roles for Position Changes

1. Navigate to "Manage Organization, Pay and Job Structures".
2. Create a new Dynamic Role or search for an existing Dynamic Role.
3. In the role description field, the "Base Object" field is missing.

This is caused by a configuration issue, where the corresponding field in the dynamicRole element in the Corporate Data Model is not enabled or does not exist.

By default, the system uses the job information of the subject user to determine the assignment of a dynamic role. To enable the MDF position as the other base object, go to the Corporate Data Model and change the Base Object field settings so that it’s visible on the dynamic role creation page. For details, see the following setting:

Note: 

• For customers, it is now possible to perform this change via self-service as Import and Export of Corporate Data Model is available via Admin Center.
• For more details on how to export and import, please refer to the following KBA for the required permissions:

To resolve the issue the field needs to be enabled.
