Error When Editing Delegation Settings In Production Tenants- Posted September 1, 2023
Dear Colleagues,
Workday has become aware of an issue with a conversion they delivered with the August 18, 2023 service update. For delegations that contain Absence tasks to request or correct time off, the conversion added new absence experience tasks to current and future delegations.
Editing these delegations causes this validation Error: The entered information does not meet the restrictions defined for this fields (instance).
Workday is actively working on a solution and apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
Workaround:
- Remove the following instances from the Start On My Behalf field:
Request Time Off for a Worker
Edit Time Off for Self
Request Time Off for Self
- This will remove the instances causing the incorrect validation and allow the delegation settings to be updated.
We will continue to keep this updated as the issue us resolved.
