HR Request

People Management Workflow has the following known issues which will be addressed in a future release:

  • Sage People Y23.3 added support for turning text fields into closed combo box fields in People Management Workflow. When a user enters text into a combo box field, they are prompted with matching items previously entered by other users.
    In some orgs, it is not currently possible to add text fields into the Combo Fields field set in the HR Request object. As a workaround, you can create a new field set to add the text fields you want, such as Job Title, and map the new field set to override the Combo Fields field set in the Fieldset Mapping on the HCM package configuration page.

  • For organizations that use pre-loaded HR Request Types with the Allow Attachment setting set to "None", any uploaded attachments on existing HR requests will not display after upgrading to release Y23.3. If this issue occurs, set the Allow Attachment setting in your HR Request Type to a valid setting (Optional, Mandatory, or Not required) to display uploaded attachments.
