As per European laws, employees are entitled to take various types of paid leaves than can extend for more than a year. In the HR Module/Leaves & Absence module of D365 F&O, if we select any employee record and try to submit a leave request, we are unable to enter the leave duration for more than a year. If we try to enter the leave duration for more than a year, the system automatically defaults the End Date to be exactly one year from the Start Date.

This is not a logical as there is no reason to assume why the system should restrict any employee from taking a leave for more than a year.

Path -

In HR module -> Select any employee. For e,g. Alicia Thornber.

Go in the Leaves tab.

Click on View Leave of absence.

Click on Request leave of absence

Select the Start Date to any date.

Try to select the End date to any date that is more than a year from the start date.

System will automatically default the end date to be one year from the start date only.

Customization is not a solution either as due to technical restrictions in the code present for the Leaves.

Because of this restriction, European customers can face legal compliance issues if they are unable to grant sufficient leaves to their employees. Remove the restriction so users can submit the leave request for as long as they like.
