I’m not sure what is causing this issue. Can you email me some more screenshots (redact any sensitive information).

Does your list view redirect to a new page, or is nothing happening and you get the console error?

I need to see the full URL of the error message (not the domain – you can redact it like you have done) – click the URL to open the “Network” tab and click again on the line (in red in the list) and show me the content of the “Header” (the full Request URL).

Yes, the list is set to use the default SharePoint form.

Can you check List settings > Form settings and ensure that you have the “Use default SharePoint form” option selected?

Hi, Alexander. I have a coworker who just built his first DFFS form. Three tabs, but only one rule, which is used to hide a tab from one group of users. The ‘New’ form works fine, but when he tries to open an existing item from the list, we get the DFFS loading screen, but it never resolves and the ‘exit’ X in the top right doesn’t close the screen, he has to back out of it by hitting the back arrow.

As possibly relevant piece of information: During debugging, we tried cloning the list and pasting in the exported JSON from the first list’s DFFS, and we get an odd error, complaining about the Title field. “The JSON String is Not Properly Formatted. TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘Title’).”

We’re attaching the JSON export from the form in hopes that it will help.

With this many forms I suggest you copy the content from the configuration list directly. This list can be found on this address: /sites/your_site/Lists/DFFSConfigurationList

If you only need to copy a few form config you can use the Import / Export functionality found on menu in the top left corner when editing a configuration.

Hi Alexander,
Is there any way to copy DFFS Modern forms from one site collection to another if the list column names (internal and external) are identical?

I have 37 lists in one site collection and each has 3 forms and I need those forms in an identical site colleciton with the same 37 lists.

Thanks

I am working on a new form in SP Online and using DFFS to enable workflow. I’m willing to use Automate for this feature, though, if I can’t find a DFFS solution. 

The team using the form is asking for a review/reminder email to be sent 3 months after the creation of a given list item. They’re happy to set a Due Date, or (my preference) I’d like to find a way to write the date automatically… that part (setting the future date) seems likely to be easy, though my experiments last week were unsuccessful. The hard part is figuring out how to either pause the DFFS workflow for three months, then have it wake up long enough to send the reminder email and then quit… or possibly have it wake up each night to check if the due date has been reached. 

The reason I’m thinking about Automate is that I can imagine a way to have a workflow run once a day, say at 3 a.m., checking all records to see if the Due Date has been reached yet, and sending email for whichever items have reached Due Date in the previous 24 hours. 

Since DFFS is running on item save or item open, I don’t know how to make it work outside those open/save options.

This was strange. Which of the values do you see if you look at the record in a list view?
Is the user a normal AD-user or an external user?
Does the display form value stay the same if you save the other value in editform?
What do you see if you hit F12 to bring up the developer tools – select Console and type in this:

getFieldValue("AssignedTo");

Expand the value by clicking the little triangle before the value.

Please note that you must use the correct internal name for your field – AssignedTo might not be the correct internal name. To see the field name go to list settings, click on the field and look at the URL and you will see &field=Internal_name_of_field

I have a list that has a single person field. This field is called Assigned to. When I add myself as the assignee, I see that in both the edit and display fields, however when I add another member of my team, a different user is displayed in the edit form.

I have included screenshots of the form edit and view definition and display to show what’s happening.

There are no rules affecting this form except making assigned to a required field in edit mode.

Thanks so much for the info! I’m having trouble figuring out how to apply REST functions without the wrapper. What I need to do is look up the value of the AssignedTo field in a list called XTeamVehicles, when I select the vehicle from a lookup column in a tracking list. Then I just want to display the AssignedTo value in my form. Can you help get me started? Here’s the original function in Classic DFFS:

//DISPLAY Assigned To
function vehicleChange(){
var sVal = $(“#dffs_Vehicle”).find(“option:selected”).val();
if(sVal!==”0″){
var qRes = spjs.utility.getItemByID(
{
“listBaseUrl”:”/sites/fire/adminexecservices/hq”,
“listName”:”Executive Team Vehicles”,
“id”:sVal,
“viewFields”:[“AssignedToLookup”]
}
);
$(“span.vehicleAssigned”).html(qRes[“AssignedToLookup”]);
}else{
$(“span.vehicleAssigned”).html(“”);
}
}

I also noticed there is no way to hide an HTML section using Rules, like there was in Classic DFFS. Is there a way to show HTML sections conditionally?

I am about to start a massive site migration from SP2013 on-prem to online, and I am having trouble identifying which functions I’ll still be able to use. Is there a master list of functions/features that have been made available in Modern DFFS, so I know if it’s not there then we need to wait or find alternative solutions?

How about SPJS functions in the CustomJS area? For the first form I’ve migrated, I need to look up data from another list with spjs.utility.getItemByID, but I’m getting the error “spjs is not defined”. Am I missing something?

Thank you!

PROBLEM:
I am having an issue where the DFFS form will not load if a user in a people field is disabled. It is crashing with the following error message:

“Cannot get value for projected field [people_field_name]_x005f_EMail.”

TROUBLESHOOTING:
I see in the call to the REST API that the people field is being expanded and each property is being selected individually, including [people_field_name]/EMail. It appears when a user is disabled the REST API cannot resolve the expanded properties which are selected in the call.

SUGGESTION:
There may be multiple ways to resolve this, but what comes to mind first is to just select the people field and then process what comes back and handle if any properties are missing rather than selecting the expanded properties. I realize this requires more processing in the front-end, but the error is coming from the REST API call and the data is not being returned.

The disabled user does not cause the built-in forms to fail: DispForm.aspx resolves the disabled user and renders properly.

STEPS TO RECREATE:
– Create list with people field (ours allows multiple people and groups).
– Create item with user in people field.
– Disable user account.
– Open form after account disable has synced across systems.

I updated to version 1.0.21.0 today and the issue is still present. Please let me know if you need any more information.

Yes, there was a bug in v1.0.18.0 and v1.0.19.0 – it is fixed in v1.0.20.0.

If you are unable to open the form to edit the configuration you can open the configuration list directly on this address: /sites/your_current_site/lists/DFFSConfigurationList

Locate the correct list and form and delete that record. Now you can recreate the form.

Why can’t you upgrade to the latest version – are there any specific reasons?

Hi, Alexander

I have a coworker, Wendi, who has DFFS Modern installed on a SP Online site. When she opens the DFFS interface, rather than getting the usual available fields, she sees dozens of system fields, to the point where scrolling (much less deleting) the fields takes a long time. When she saves and closes DFFS and tries starting a new item, the browser strobes once and then just resets to the plain list view. She can’t see the New Item form. We tried uploading 1.0.13 over 1.0.19, and it ‘fixed’ the issue for new lists, but not for lists she’d already set up views on.

Sadly, we can’t upgrade to the newest version of DFFS, so there is likely nothing you can do, but we wanted to let you know about it.

[Kristy Doyle]

I have a list where I amj using verion 1.0.11.0. When you click on an item in the list, it opens the form perfectly, but when i add the list to a list webpart on another page and click on an item, it no longer opens in DFFS.
