I applied to company using workday recently. The job was a referral and the JD made it explicitly clear I didn’t need a degree. Yet it was a required field.

And of course, it wasn’t a free form text field that would allow me to just enter N/A or my high school. It was a drop-down/search box that had a predefined list of colleges and universities. I ended up just entering some college I attended for two months before dropping out.

I've also seen that too. The no-free-form entry sucks. I went to a pretty big public school, but for some reason it wasn't included in the pre-populated list on one job I was applying to. No clue what the company using it's controls look like, but I even checked over big name public universities to see if they were on the pre-populated list and it was surprising how many were missing. Like UNC (University of North Carolina) wasn't listed.
