The applicable tenant setting is Copy Personal Information from Job Application on Initiate Hire. It controls the transfer of eligible personal information collected during recruiting into the Initiate Hire transaction. With this setting enabled, information such as gender and date of birth can prepopulate the corresponding new-hire fields rather than requiring an administrator to re-enter the information manually.

''Copy Personal Information when Copying Job Applications'' applies when an existing job application is copied or reused. It does not govern the transition from candidate to worker. Candidate fields in notifications affect communication content, while Require Candidate Home Account governs external candidate authentication. Neither option controls the propagation of demographic information into the hiring process.

The important distinction is the lifecycle event. The source is the candidate's job application, but the destination is the hire transaction. Therefore, the configuration must explicitly act when Initiate Hire begins. This supports Workday's unified-data model by retaining appropriate information across recruiting and staffing without an external integration or duplicate entry.
