Issue
- When editing the "Language" selection for a User the "Prefix" does not always save the pre-selected response.
- Example:
- Set the "Prefix" to "Mr" and "Language" to "English" for a User and click Save.
- Change the "Language": "English" to another language where "Mr" is not the same (France is "M"), the pre-selected equivalent does not save and the "Prefix" category is left blank.
Environment
- DXP 7.0+
- Quarterly Release
Resolution
- Unfortunately, automatic conversions for prefixes are not an option because the prefix may not be the same between different languages and/or the prefix may exist in another language but does not exist in a different language.
- There is a workaround that can be enabled if the interchanging of prefixes in other languages is necessary.
- You can add a modelListener to the User creation and/or update the prefix information by getting the language key of the prefix for the different languages.
