Symptoms

When a particular preparer creates a requisition and attempts to forward it for approval, both the Approval Path and Forward To do not default in.
The expected behavior is that the Approval Path and Forward To default in.

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. As the involved user navigate to Requisitions > Requisitions
2. Create a requisition and choose Approve

Note: The involved user has been assigned a position, which can be verified as followed:
