Time Off - Create Absence - "Requesting" and "Return to Work on" not updated when changing Time Type

[m_bacskai]

Dear Experts,

when employees click on "Request Time Off" they see "Vacation" per default. If they enter a start and an end date, the number of days in "Requesting" and the return date in "Returning to Work On" are updated immediately on the UI.

If they select another Time Type first and then set the start and end date, these two fields (Requesting and Returning to Work On) are not updated on the UI automatically only when they upload an attachment or click on Submit.

I hope this is not the expected behaviour. Could you help me how I can fix this?

Is that attachment field required by any chance?
If so yes, you first need to fill out the required fields and then the validations etc. will occur (that is unfortunately expected behaviour).

Hi Jasper,

Only for regular vacation days we don´t require attachment but we do require them for special leaves (e.g. additional days of for marrying or for the death of a close relative).

Thank you for your feedback.

If you want a way around it for that scenario. You could also explore looking into not making the attachment field mandatory and instead using a take rule to provide an error for those time types that require it and have an empty attachment field.
