If you have mapped the position flexfields to the assignment flexfields for the responsive pages, then the same configuration will apply to your Redwood pages.

This table describes the scenarios when position synchronization is enabled in the Position Override step.

Scenario	Position Synchronization Enabled	Position Synchronization Enabled in Position Override Step	Behavior
Position has flexfield values on 1st May, 2024	Yes	Yes	Flexfields are synchronized in the assignment. You can change these values if the flexfields are enabled in Business Rules. If you continue to the next step, assignment flexfields are synchronized with the position flexfields and any flexfield changes aren’t committed.
Position has flexfield values on 1st May 2024	Yes	No	Flexfields are synchronized in the assignment. You can change these values if the flexfields are enabled in Business Rules. If you continue to the next step, assignment flexfield changes are committed.

Change on Revisiting the When and why step	Position Synchronization Enabled	Flexfield Synchronization Enabled	Behavior
Legal entity	No	No	Assignment flexfields aren’t synchronized
Business Unit (doesn’t have position)	Yes	Yes	Assignment flexfields aren’t synchronized and any earlier defaulted flex values are retained.
Position (doesn’t have the same assignment flexfields)	Yes	Yes	New flexfields aren’t defaulted and any earlier defaulted flex values are retained.
