Search Results for 'list form'

[Alexander Bautz]

Thanks again for the feedback.

Regarding the name of the rules:
This is not actually required as it is only used as a reference when configuring the rules. In the older version you could check status of rules in custom js and use the name to trigger a rule, but this is not possible in this version.

Field change:
I’ll add a trigger for on-change of fields.

Message under a field:
For now you must use a similar action in the “If no” section and add a blank message under the same field. I’ll see if I can add a “Remove message under field” action.

Required fields:
In the old version the rules “auto-reversed” actions like required fields and made them optional when the trigger was no longer true, but that was a major cause of confusion. I therefor I added the “If yes” and “If no” sections for each rule. You must reverse any required, optional, visible, hidden, editable or readonly fields in the “If no” section manually.

Email:
Did you put the email in the to field, or did you pick from a people picker?

Custom JS:
I have confirmed the issue with the code disappearing when navigating away and will fix it in the next release. I haven’t loaded jQuery in this solution, but will look into the possibility to do that so you can use it in Custom JS.

Please note that any custom code used to manipulate the form itself cannot be used in this version because of how the form is generated (using React). Code that does other things like write to another list is OK.

I’ll try to figure out what causes the authentication errors.

Thanks for the feedback.

vLookup: I haven’t added any “There are no items” label so are you sure your filter is set up correctly? Look at the developer tools (f12 > console) for any errors.

Created by and Modified by: I must have reintroduced this when I have changed other things regarding selectable fields – I’ll get that fixed.

I see what you mean by the “missing” save button in vLookup, but all panels that open are auto-saved so I’m not sure I can add a dummy save button here, but I’ll think about it.

Selecting to exit from the save confirmation is a good idea, I’ll try to get that in the next release.

Configuring the old and the new version is not done in the same way so I don’t see any potential for conflict here.

The link to open the configuration is in the old version at the bottom of all forms, and the config is only guarded by the password. You can however (in the old version) hide the button for all but selected users / groups (in the Misc tab).

In this new version the enter setup link is on the DFFS icon in the list view banner and not in each form, but I haven’t added any method other than password protecting the config here. I’ll think about it and see if maybe hiding this icon for persons that cannot modify lists for example, but in any case you should password protect the form (you set the password in the Misc tab in the new version also) to prevent others from modifying it.

Best regards,
Alexander

Hi Alexander

Thanks for getting back to me.

I was more looking for the row in the list view.

I found lots more articles on the JSON List Formatting, so this has helped.

I have have it working – just applying the JSON to the the column for each row is a such a timesaver over doing it the old CEWP route.

I am assuming that sine I can still get to the classic view, I can still apply a web part to the view if I need to.

Are you looking to color code a row in the form or in the list view?

The modern view can be modified using this method: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/format-a-column-to-change-how-it-looks-6ed2f787-0e9e-4908-b861-0d06571c256d

I seem to be having some issues. I see “Setup DFFS” in the ribbon but never after installing on all forms do I see configure dffs. I get some errors I’m not familiar with in the console (see attachment) but even on a new site, I have to run the fix script to get it to even render.

I’ve installed the latest version 4.4.5.45. I’ve disabled CDN, On the new site I also had to set DenyAddAndCustomizePages 0 to get it to install on the test list.

Certainly I’ve missed some basic thing but can’t figure it out.

Thanks for the feedback – I’ll fix this in the next release. I have made some more progress and added functionality to import configs from other forms in the same list, making restore points and using development mode to work on a new config for an existing “live” from without interfering. The switch form buttons are also added.

I’ll work on vLookup next and hope to release a new version later this week.

Best regards,
Alexander

This is really cool and interesting. I’ll keep digging around into it. Here are some quick initial thoughts.

Love/Like:
– The drag and drop attachments built in!
– Default of hiding the left navigation menu
– Dragging fields to move them is easy and seeing the “grid” type of layout helps for designing
– Preview form
– Simple and clean

Missing:
– Something that I miss is the copying of the form from New to Edit to Disp. Usually when I build something I start with one form and go from there if something is different in the next form.
– Along these lines – backing up the configuration and using development mode are super important.
– I like being able to quickly switch from the various forms with your buttons at the top in the old version
– I really like the field list in the old version so I can make sure I’m using the correct Field Name for various things like custom JS. Not completely necessary but it’s nice
– vLookup config
– Searching rules for fields or text. Very helpful when I have so many rules
– Grouping things for rules. I like being able to tag all of the fields with one group and then, for example, require everything based on that group

Bugs:
– You can type the created and modified by fields in NewForm but it doesn’t actually work
– In NewForm it shows the ID field but it hasn’t been created yet

The biggest problem of all has nothing directly to do with DFFS and is the default modern SharePoint list view. The Details Pane ignores everything in DFFS and allows users to view and edit fields. I’ve never been able to figure out how to get rid of it so it forces me to use classic views for most of my lists to prohibit someone from editing or viewing an item and not following any rules or ordering or anything else I have put in place using DFFS. This will be a major reason I can’t use this version for many of my lists…yet.

I love your work and this is quite an undertaking. Great job!

[Alexander Bautz]

The new version of DFFS is finally here! It is still in BETA so I would love to get some feedback from you on how it performs – and what features your are missing. Follow the instructions on https://spjsworks.com to set it up and use this forum for any feedback.

Please note: This new version only work on SharePoint online.

Known bugs in version 0.9.0.0:

• If you use managed metadata fields you must set a default value in the list settings – if not, the configurator will fail to load the form.

Travis, this might work: If you populate the title field by a rule that concatenates the three fields you are referring to, and set the title field (on the native sharepoint list settings) to NOT allow duplicates in the title field, SharePoint will prevent any duplicates.

You could enhance the user experience by explaining on the form that the combination of the three fields needs to be unique, so they have some idea why SharePoint is giving them a very obtuse error message.

You could use vLookup (must be set up carefully on a new form, but very do-able) to show any other items from the list that have the same title as they choose those three fields. You could even include the Edit button in the vlookup table, and instructions to go edit the already existing item (in a new browser tab) and cancel their new item, if needed.

I hope that helps out.

Hello

I’ve run into a slight issue using email functionality with SharePoint Online (with a DFFS_Email list). On form save, an error message pops up, the item isn’t saved to the sharepoint list and the email isnt written to the DFFS_Email list.

The issue appears to be related to using a people picker (to populate To: on the email), where the person in the picker, even though validated through the UI on the form, at that point in time hasnt been added to the UIL (https://Tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteName/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0)
Looking at the network calls in Dev Tools – it appears to be doing an old soap call to validate the user – which then fails as the user isnt in the UIL yet, returning a pop-up:
“The list item was NOT saved: Error sending email – Missing recipient for the email template TestSend. Please verify that you have a value in the “To” field in your email template (NameField) and then retry saving this item.”
(The To field definitely does have the correct setup – using a user already in the UIL, DDFS emailing works exactly as expected).

Request URL: https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteName/_vti_bin/lists.asmx
Which returns <rs:data ItemCount=”0″> when it fails

Am I doing something fundamentally wrong with the set-up or is there any way to work around this? Ideally I need the form to work with any user, even if they’re not in the UIL immediately.

Thanks

AdamP

Hi,
I have just migrated a list from one SP2019 server to another and I’ve tried to copy over the form design to the new list on the new server but I have a problem with the display form not working, the dit form and new form seem to work OK but the Display form just times out.

I’ve checked the URL for the display form and it liooks good, I’ve uninstalled and re-installed DFFS on the list a few times but it doesn’t make any difference.

Any pointers as what could be wrong?
Using F12 I get this result

Hi,
I’m not sure that functionality would do anything other than what the column formatting does in the modern list view, but it’s interesting.

I have shared a status update on the new SPFx based DFFS version I’m working on here: https://spjsblog.com/2022/04/19/dffs-modern-sneak-peek/

Alexander

[Ivan Wilson]

I see that SPFX 1.15 is going to preview support for controlling the rendering of new, edit and view forms for list (and library) items:

This sounds like a great way of getting DFFS into modern lists. Have you had a chance to look into this yet?

I’m building an attestation form. Is there a way to display a list view within the form itself so the user knows the list content they are attesting to?

User A is attesting to Apples. Selects Apples from drop down list then an ‘Apples’ view from another list (same site) is displayed below that shows the various fields and records currently in the ‘Apples’ view. User B would do the same when attesting to ‘Berries’ and a Berries view would display for them to attest accuracy of that view, etc.
