Ability to reuse the same fields multiple times with different sigoptions in Self Serve

In our existing customer environment, the same fields—or fields located in different sections—need to be displayed to users with different input types. In SSC, this is achieved by defining multiple sections and assigning different sigoptions to them, allowing fields to be set as read-only, required, or shown/hidden based on user permissions.

However, we are working on MAS upgrade and Self Serve transition for our customer and when using the same XML presentations in Self Serve, we observed that the fields are not handled in the same way. Following our support case, we received confirmation from the support team that “the last dataattribute will always overwrite and take effect,” indicating that this functionality behaves differently in Self Serve and that no alternative workaround is currently available.

Our customer is planning to transition from SSC to Self Serve as part of their MAS upgrade, but limitations like this are preventing progress. We kindly request your support for the implementation of this feature in Self Serve.

    Based on the support case and details provided here. IBM will plan to provide a solution in either the 9.2 release or before end of calendar year 2025. the work in the new framework is difficult and complex and will take time to code, test and prepare for support.

    Thank you Cem for the idea.

    Could you please either advise here - what field is being used twice in a single offering. we are trying to understand the use case and why the need to show the field twice? Would the two values not contradict each other? also what are the sig options being used.


    Thank you
