ORIGINAL ALERT MESSAGE:

Please note that Workday is aware of an issue where corrections on Legal Name Change events results in a soft warning validation: 


Alert: You have another Name Change that occurs on XXX. The Name Change you are making is only effective until XXX.


Workday does expect this validation to occur when the proposed effective date on a Legal Name Change event is corrected and there is a subsequent Legal Name Change event.  However, the validation is occurring when the proposed effective date of a Legal Name Change event is corrected, regardless of whether there is a subsequent Legal Name Change event.

Our team is actively investigating the root cause of  this issue and will share updates as soon as more information becomes available. We apologize for any disruption this may cause.
