ORIGINAL ALERT MESSAGE

Workday is aware of an intermittent issue which can result in the ‘Reason’ field not appearing on a ‘Time Off’ event. This issue occurs when navigating to another box/ field prior to the Daily Quantity auto-populating which can cause a critical validation error, ‘Error: Reason,‘ for customers who have configured the Reason to be required as the user cannot populate the field. 

We have identified the root cause and are working diligently to implement a fix. We appreciate your patience as we work on resolving this issue.
