[Caron Shimo]

I have recently upgraded and getting a feel for the new version. In my current forms I have the ability to show and hide fields when they are selected which is working. What doesn’t work is if I am in a form and I select one thing and then change the selection to something else, it doesn’t automatically hide the fields that are not needed. it shows both sets of fields for the first selected option then fields for the option it is changed to also.

When Add/Modify/Remove values is selected in Type of Request – Agent Data Groups the following field visible and required
◦Add/Modify/Remove Values from which ADG
◦New/Modify/Remove AD Value
◦MU Number and Name

When New ADG is selected in Type of Request – Agent Data Groups the following field visible and required
◦Name of New ADG
◦New/Modify/Remove AD Value
◦MU Number and Name
◦Business Need for New ADG

If I toggle between the 2 selected values in the old version it would hide the fields not listed as visible and required.. Can someone help me on how this version would allow me to do the same. Do I need to write the rules differently? The user would have to refresh the page to get the correct field if a mistake or another selection was made within the same field

Hi.

I’m using SharePoint Online with DFFS and have a requirement to relate one list to another. Unfortunately the user experience requires the use of a multi-line description field from List A to relate to List B but using a Lookup column in List B it isn’t allowed to use a multi-line column.

Can anyone help with how I can create an experience when the user is creating a new item or editing an item in List B where they can see the values in the multi-line column (DESCRIPTION in example below) to select from but the value of a calculated ID column (CALCULATEDID) is stored to link the two together?

e.g.

**LIST A**
TITLE DESCRIPTION CALCULATEDID
Blank Lorem Ipsum…. LISTA-001

**LIST B**
TITLE DESCRIPTION LISTA_RELATIONSHIP LISTA_DESCRIPTION
Blank Lorem Ipsum…. LISTA-001 Lorem Ipsum…

Thanks.

You can pass the values in the URL like this:

SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog({
        "url":"/DFFS/Lists/DFFS_TestList/NewForm.aspx?Title=Put your string here&AnotherField=Put the string here",
...
...

Then in the NewForm Custom JS add this code:

var urlTitle = GetUrlKeyValue("Title");
if(urlTitle !== ""){
    setFieldValue("Title",urlTitle);
}
// Repeat for your other fields

PS: Thanks for the beer!

I’m wondering if anyone has a solution that would launch a NewForm from another list in the site collection when a field is either (a) set to a specific value or (b) changes values. Use case: User answers a Yes/No question in parent form and must immediately be prompted to complete a child form (ticket) in a new dialog before moving forward with the current form. They must be prompted as we cannot rely on the user to click a button or navigate out to the child list.

After the ticket(s) is/are created and the parent form completed, you could then use vLookup to tie the forms together.

Hi Alex

I am trying to use Autocomplete to filter some values with CAML and I cannot get it to work, ill briefly explain what I’m trying to have happen on the form so you have some understanding, then Ill put the current code.

I have a list called Jobs where the code is running, on this list I have a lookup field to an Accounts list and another to an Account Contacts list, I am trying to get the form to offer me two autocomplete fields, when I select the ‘AccountName’ autocomplete field it is completing the first lookup column (Account) for me with the ID selected and also setting another single line of text field to the same ID of the item selected, the second autocomplete field should then show me a filtered list of items from the second autocomplete field ‘Location’ which should only show items from the lookup list that have one its columns (a lookup column called ‘Accounts’) match the ID held in the AccountID field on the form.

Here is my code:

spjs.ac.textField({
	"applyTo":"AccountName",
	"helpText":"Enter the name of the account...",
	"listGuid":"Accounts",
	"listBaseUrl":"/sites/jobs",
	"showField":"Title",
	"enforceUniqueValues":true,
	"rowLimit":15,
	"listOptionsOnFocus":false,
	"reValidateOnLoad":false,
	"orderBy":[{"fin":"Title","ascending":true}],
	"allowAddNew":false,
	"isLookupInSelf":false,
	"filterCAML":"",
	"setFields":[
		{
			"fromFIN":"Title",
			"toFIN":"AccountName",
			"parseFunction":"",
			"skipIfEmpty":false
		},
		{
			"fromFIN":"ID",
			"toFIN":"Account",
			"parseFunction":"",
			"skipIfEmpty":false
		},
		{
			"fromFIN":"ID",
			"toFIN":"AccountID",
			"parseFunction":"",
			"skipIfEmpty":false
		}

	]					
});			

spjs.ac.textField({
	"applyTo":"Location",
	"helpText":"Enter the post code of the account...",
	"listGuid":"Account Contacts",
	"listBaseUrl":"/sites/jobs",
	"showField":"PostCode",
	"enforceUniqueValues":true,
	"rowLimit":15,
	"listOptionsOnFocus":false,
	"reValidateOnLoad":true,
	"orderBy":[{"fin":"PostCode","ascending":true}],
	"allowAddNew":false,
	"isLookupInSelf":false,
	"filterCAML":"<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Account' LookupId='TRUE'/><Value Type='Lookup'>' + AccountID + '</Value></Eq></Where>",
	"setFields":[
		{
			"fromFIN":"Title",
			"toFIN":"Location",
			"parseFunction":"",
			"skipIfEmpty":false
		},
		{
			"fromFIN":"ID",
			"toFIN":"AccountLocation",
			"parseFunction":"",
			"skipIfEmpty":false
		}

	]					
});

In between the <Value Type=’Lookup’>’ + AccountID + ‘</Value> tags I have tried the following:

‘ + AccountID + ‘
” + AccountID + ”
‘” + AccountID + “‘
+ AccountID +
+ ‘AccountID’ +
+ “AccountID” +
[AccountID]

Nothing seems to work, is the issue that its only initially filtering the 2nd autocomplete field on page load? if so, is there a way to make the 2nd field recalculate based on when the filter value changes?

Thanks

Hi all – is there a way to use spsj-utility to get values from another list on the site based on a key value on the current NewForm? eg the user is on the NewForm for an Event (custom list) and I would like to look up 2 fields on another list, and set the corresponding fields on the NewForm? There really isn’t a parent / child relationship between the two lists. If needed I can have a hidden list view added to the NewForm – that list would show exactly one row for the user, and would have fields MyDivision and MyMarket that Id like to use to set the values of Division and Market on the NewForm On Form Load – thanks!

I got a question about summing the values from another column in a list connected with a multi lookup column. Here is the request:

I have a Product list that contains columns for product [Title] and the [Install hours] for that product.

On our Orders list I have a look up column where multiple products can be added to an order.

Based on the items added to that order, I would like the Install hours (on the products list) to be summed in another field in the orders list.

Here is a code example to get you started:

function lookupExtraColumnData(){
	var a = [], b = [], c = 0;
	a.push("<Where>");
	a.push("<In>");
	a.push("<FieldRef Name='ID' />");
	a.push("<Values>");
	$("#dffs_LookupFieldName select:last option").each(function(i,o){
		b.push("<Value Type='Number'>"+$(o).val()+"</Value>");
	});
	a.push(b.join(""));
	a.push("</Values>");
	a.push("</In>");
	a.push("</Where>");
	if(b.length > 0){
		var res = spjs.utility.queryItems({"listName":"ProductListDisplayName","query":a.join(""),"viewFields":["InstallHours"]});
		$.each(res.items,function(i,item){
			if(item.InstallHours !== null){
				c += Number(item.InstallHours);
			}
		});
		// set the value in a field
		setFieldValue("SumFieldName",c);
	}
}

Add this function to the custom js textarea in DFFS backend, and call it for example on “save” using the “The form is saved” trigger.

You must change “LookupFieldName” for your lookup field name, the “ProductListDisplayName” with the display name or the GUID of the product list, the field name “InstallHours” with the actual field you want to sum, and the “SumFieldName” with the field to write the sum to.

Please note that the sum is written to a “static” field in the list item, and will not update on already added items if you update the “InstallHours” field in your products.

Hope this can be used as a staring point.

Hi,
Unfortunately there is no way to query into a list using JavaScript when the user doesn’t have read access. The only option I can think of where this might be possible is to use a SP Designer workflow running with an impersonation step to pull this extra information – but then the user must be able to input a “key” to user in the WF when looking up the correct record to fill in the values in the list item.

Another option could be to create the list with a “difficult” name, and hiding it from browsers in SP Designer (or using this tool). This will not prevent users typing in the correct address to the list accessing it, but it will “obfuscate” it.

Is it possible to make two separate lists work off of one another? I have two lists, the first one uses the user’s domain address to pull up all of the divisions and cost centers associated with that domain. The second list needs to look at the domain that was selected from the first list, and then propagate a field for software options related to each domain.

The reason I’m trying to use two separate lists is because with these options the list will be pretty huge as I’d have to have so many redundant lines in there to account for everything.

Here’s my debug info at the moment, it says number of items returned is 2 which is right, but the Software dropdown is still a single line of text for some reason. Also the CompanyEmailDomain is from the “Parent” list in this case:

[SPJS Cascading dropdowns v3.523]
Function called with these arguments:
lookupList:SoftwareCompanies
lookupListBaseUrl:{currentSite}
lookupListFields:Title,Software
thisListFields:CompanyEmailDomain,Software
dropDownDefaultvalue:
hideEmptyDropdowns:false
autoselectSingleOption:true
clearInvalidSelection:true
debug:true
numberOfDropdowns:2

Hi Alex,

I’m hoping you can help. I have my charts set up in my CEWP (shown below) and I’m using the ‘spjs_getFilterValue’ function to return custom filter values which is shared between multiple charts using the filterAdditionalCharts’ option, and the ‘spjs_chartSelectionHandler’ function is used to select and return the data in a new window.

This works fine initially when I load the page and click on the chart data – the ‘spjs_chartSelectionHandler’ runs through and uses the URL to return the List data in a new window as expected. However, as soon as I select another value from the filter dropdown and repeat the same action (i.e. click on a chart item) the ‘spjs_chartSelectionHandler’ function seems to act like a loop which returns multiple instances of the same list data.

I’m not sure if it’s something to do with how I’ve written my code or the function itself but I would really appreciate your assistance?
