Request sent to SF :

<JobApplication>

<medicalcheckBloodgrp>

<PicklistOption>

<picklistLabels>

<PicklistLabel>

<label>AB-</label>

<locale>en_US</locale>

</PicklistLabel>

Hi Prashanth,

I have dealt with a very similar situation very recently.

In this case, rather than upserting the picklist try upserting only picklist field with Option ID it should do the Job.

In JobApplication entity, pass the option ID to field corresponding to the medicalcheckBloodgrp picklist.

For example: For employee Status picklist, emplStatus field is there. So, in place of upserting emplStatusNav entity, we should just pass Option ID to emplStatus field only.

Hope it helps!

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

The error code seems to suggest that you need to upload the field Index with a value that is not equal to 0. Have you referred to the SuccessFactors API Reference Guide:https://help.sap.com/doc/74597e67f54d4f448252bad4c2b601c9/2111/en-US/SF_HCM_OData_API_REF_en.pdf

Kind regards,

David
