Ever want to hide certain options in the ribbon in DispForm? I do!

Actions has options for “Alert Me” and “Workflows” which I don’t need users to see. You can hide these by adding this to the Custom CSS tab:

#Ribbon\.ListForm\.Display\.Actions
{display:none;}

Another item I don’t need users to see is “Shared With”. There are two sizes so you need to add this to Custom CSS:

#Ribbon\.ListForm\.Display\.Manage-LargeMedium-1-1,
#Ribbon\.ListForm\.Display\.Manage\.ManagePermissions-Medium
{display:none;}

Happy hiding!

Hi,
You can use a script like this example. You must run it in the console of one of your forms in each subsite as it uses some code from DFFS.

Code example:

var allConfig = spjs.utility.queryItems({
    "listName": "SPJS-DynamicFormsForSharePoint",
    "query": "<Where><IsNotNull><FieldRef Name='Title' /></IsNotNull></Where>",
    "viewFields": ["ID", "Title", "blob"]
});
jQuery.each(allConfig.items, function (i, item) {
    if (item.Title.charAt(0) === "/" && item.blob !== null && item.blob.charAt(0) === "{") {
        var config = JSON.parse(item.blob);
        // Use console.log to view the config in the console to locate the parameters you want to change
        // console.log(config);
        // This example changes redirEditToDisp to false
        if (config.redir.redirEditToDisp) {
            config.redir.redirEditToDisp = false;
            // Backup current config
            var backupRes = spjs.utility.addItem({
                "listName": "SPJS-DynamicFormsForSharePoint",
                "data": { "Title": "[backup]" + item.Title, "blob": item.blob }
            });
            if (backupRes.success) {
                // Apply changes if config was backed up successfully
                var updateRes = spjs.utility.updateItem({
                    "listName": "SPJS-DynamicFormsForSharePoint",
                    "id": item.ID,
                    "data": { "blob": JSON.stringify(config) }
                });
                if (updateRes.success) {
                    console.log("Made backup and updated config for " + item.Title);
                }
            } else {
                console.log("*** Failed to backup config for " + item.Title + ": " + backupRes.errorText + ". No changes were made to the config.");
            }
        }
    }
});

This script will loop trough ALL configs in the current site and make changes. It will make a backup of the original config in case you need to roll back. If so, open the “Export, import and restore” tab and hit “Browse restore points and deleted configurations”.

Please read the comments in the code and make changes to match the changes you want to make.

You can use the Check out list items functionality in the Misc tab in EditForm.

Thanks, @SteveE
You understand describe perfectly, cheers for you….!

I get the point of switching tab on toggle,

Now i wanted to switch tab bases on list view,
For example i have two custom views in list,
So total views in list,
1. All items
2. View1
3. View2

Now, when user select View1 in list and click on Add Items, DFFS form with Tab0 design should display, and for View2 form with Tab1 should display.

How can i achieve this?

[Amal Vellappillil]

I have the “Return to DispForm when editing an item and NOT opening the form in a dialog” checked under “Misc” tab. Is there a way to bulk update all list configurations in a site to have this option unchecked?

[Amal Vellappillil]

Hi Alex,
I have a feature request.

Current Behavior:
– Current view = View 1 (not the default view)
– User clicks into a record from that view.
– User clicks on edit to edit the record. Then saves the record.
– User click on close button in display form.
– User is taken back to list view. But this time user is taken to the default view instead of “View 1” (the originating view)

Is it possible to have the user sent back to the originating view when the close button is clicked on “after editing a record from display form”?

Thank you,
Amal Vellappillil

[SteveE]

I think when you say “view” it’s the confusing part (to me at least).

If you are saying the form changes when you click a button, this can easily be accomplished by creating a toggle and based on if it is set to “Yes/On” the form can make a new tab or section appear.

If you are saying that based on a list view that you are starting from, when you enter a new item (or then access it in the future) the form will display differently, I have code that will find the view source and alter the form.

Hello,
We have task to convert SP10 on premise InfoPath form to DFFS.
In info path there is different form as per views for single list.

Please see attached image, there is different view for single list in info path form.

How can i achieve this functionality in DFFs?

There is unfortunately nothing you can do in DFFS to use an actual lookup field as this will not render in the form when the source list exceeds 5000 items.

But you can still use the lookup list from a DFFS enabled form by using a single line of text field paired with either the Autocomplete, Lookup or Cascading dropdown plugin.

Hi Alex, how are you? any idea how to resolve a lookup field pointing to a list with more than 5000 records? I am trying to find a workaround on quick edit view and on the new/edit form. PowerApps custom forms will solve this? Dffs can solve this?

[Alexander Bautz]

Hi,
In the DFFS form the vLookup column is populated with a string combining the current user id and the current date like this:

_spPageContextInfo.userId+":"+new Date().valueOf()

You cannot get the same method in a FLOW, but you all you need is an value that is uniquie within the list so using an expression like this should work:

rand(1000000000,2000000000)

You are not 100% certain to get an unique value using this method, but it should be fairly certain. If the theoretical chance of getting the same value on two items bother you you can prepend the current item id from the item you are triggering the flow on – something like this:

concat(triggerBody()?['ID'],':',rand(1000000000,2000000000))

Hello,

I have three fields that I need to link together.

– Session Start Date (Date Picker)
– Number of Days
– Task Due Date

The user fills out the Session Start Date field (Parent List) and will click the Add Task button which opens the Task form (Child List). The user then chooses a task from the Task Name dropdown field (The Lookup list). Once they choose their task they need to add a number to the number of days field. -1 would be the day before the session start date, 0 would be the day of the Session Start Date and 5 would be 5 days after the Session Start Date. I need for the day entered to populate the read only Task Due Date field as it relates to the Session Start Date field. The Task Due Date field would be calculated using calendar days.

Example 1.

Session Start Date – 4/10/2021
Number of Days – -10
Task Due Date – 5/31/2021

Example 2.

Session Start Date – 8/17/2021
Number of Days – 16
Task Due Date – 9/2/2021

Can this be done using DFFS? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreachiated :).

[Travis Goodman]

Hi Alexander, this is not a big deal at all, just thought I’d bring it to your attention. When the list settings > advanced settings has attachments disabled, the forms will still show the option to apply attachments. This can wait for a larger update, just wanted to put it on your radar.

Attached you will find an image showing the issue. Notice that there’s no option to add attachments in the ribbon at the top because it’s disabled, but the DFFS form shows the option to add.

Simple solution for now is to just hide it in the rules.

Im trying to create a list that is used throughout my site collection that grows organically called CaseType and I cant figure out how to do it with SPJS-Lookup and Autocomplete. CaseType is a multichoice Lookup column on the Newform. If the type of case isn’t listed, I would like the user to be able to add a new one to the list and use that new CaseType in the current item and in the future. Therefore, I added a button to the form that opens the CaseType List newform Dialog box(see attached).

However, when you add the new CaseType, I cannot select that new one to the current form because it isn’t reflected in the multi Lookup yet. If my button refreshes the form after save, I lose all the data I added in the subsequent fields. And since this is a newform, that is an issue. Also, this CaseType list is being used on all other sub sites, Refiners within Search and I cant use managed metadata.

My script for the dialog new form:

<script type="text/javascript">
 function displayLayover(url) {
 var options = SP.UI.$create_DialogOptions();
 options.url = url; 
 options.dialogReturnValueCallback = Function.createDelegate(
 null, null);
 SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options); 
 } 
 </script>
<html><table><tr><td>
            <input type=button value="Add CaseType"
onClick='javascript:displayLayover("https://DOMAIN/sites/##/Remand_Docket/Lists/Case Type/NewForm.aspx?IsDlg=1")'></button>
</td></tr></table></html>

Hi Alexander,

I am trying to end emails from my DFFS form. But if I use a shared mailbox address or resource account, the emails never seem to reach their destination. Which is a shame as the email appears to come from “SP” not from a shared mailbox like in FLOW (Power Automate).

WORKS:
User email address – username@mydomain.com
Also {Author} and {Currentuseremail} work

DOESNT WORK
Shared mailbox example – sharedmailbox1@mydomain.com
Resource Account – RA-DEPT-BLAH1@mydomain.com

Separate Note on not using REST api:

We are about to retire SP2010 workflows in our organisation. So I guess I can no longer use a custom list with workflow to send E-Mails? As you have to use platform type SP2010? When setting up the workflow.

SP 2013 workflow will only send emails to valid members of the organization

Wanted to confirm the limitations of the platform.

I guess we should just setup a FLOW (Power Automate) to trigger when the item is modified and build in the logic in that platform?.

Kind Regards,
Paul
