Past picklist version doesn't show up in past jobinfo record

[SzilviaB]

Hi All,

I have a picklist in jobinfo. It has two ACTIVE versions. It has the ISOcountryList picklist as parent picklist.

1st version is from 1900. jan. 1st and has child picklist active values. It also has two global inactive values.

2nd version is from 2025. febr. 1st and all the chlid picklist values are deactivated. only two global values are active. The same values that are inactive in the previous version.

My issue is that when I would like to correct a jobinfo time slice or insert a new jobinfo time slice before 2025 febr. 1st the field presents me only the two global values which are inactive at the time. I would like to see the country spec "old" child values which are active before 2025. ferb 1.

Why dont I see them? Is it expected behavior? 

Child field is connected with parent field in jobinfo. It has worked before we have created the 2nd version of picklists from 2025 febr 1.

Thanks,

Szilvia

Hi Szilvia,
Across all Employee Central entities (such as Job Information), picklists aren't considered effective dated. This means that regardless of the Job Info record's effective start date, the system will always use the picklist version effective "today".
This is mentioned in the implementation guide here: https://help.sap.com/docs/successfactors-platform/implementing-picklists/picklist-versions?q=picklis...
Kind regards,
Janina
