        Hi Alexander,
        is it possible to check if document stored in document library is check-out (someone is edditing this document) when someone else wants to open/submit EditForm for this document?
        I found SP.File.checkOutType property (sp.js) but do not know how to use it.
        Thanks a lot
        Michal

          Hi,
          This property is not available by default in DFFS, but you can use a query like this in the custom js:

          var checkedOut = false;
          var checkedOutRes = spjs.utility.getItemByID({"listName":_spPageContextInfo.pageListId,"id":spjs.dffs.data.thisItemID,"viewFields":["CheckoutUser"]});
          if(checkedOutRes.CheckoutUser !== null){
              checkedOut = true;
          }
          // Use the checkedOut variable to do something here

          Hope you can use this snippet.

            Hi Alexander,
            thanks, this works perfectly,
            but only in case when use “check out” from local menu. Is it possible to determine if document is edited – open in MS office/OWA in edit mode?
            I cannot use force check out due to some workflow problems.

              Sorry, but I don’t know how to detect if a document is edited if the document library doesn’t require checkout – and the document therefore hasn’t actually been checked out.
