Identify list by url/internal Name

[Andreas Blüher]

Hello Alexander,

vLookup has been updated a while ago to also support getting the list by url, but cascading dropdowns don’t support this yet (afaik).

Could you please integrate the code into cascading dropdowns aswell?

Thank you very much
Andreas

I’ll try to get this in place in a later version, but if you invoke it from Custom JS and not from the Cascading dropdown tab in DFFS backend you can do it like this:

spjs.utility.getListByUrlName("/sites/yoursite","ProjectList").then(function(list){
    spjs.casc.init(
        {
            "manualMode":true,
            "dataSource":"",
            "lookupList":list.id,
            "lookupListBaseUrl":list.baseUrl,
            "lookupListFields":["SourceField1","SourceField2"],
            "thisListFields":["ThisListField1","ThisListField2"],
            "dropDownDefaultvalue":"Select...",
            "filter":"",
            "hideEmptyDropdowns":false,
            "autoselectSingleOption":true,
            "clearInvalidSelection":false,
            "addOwnValue":false,
            "addOwnValueMouseover":"",
            "cancelOwnValueMouseover":"",
            "sideBySide":true,
            "debug":false
        }
    );
});

Change the base “/sites/yoursite” and the list URL name “ProjectList” (please note that this is case sensitive). Notice how I used list.id and list.baseUrl in the argument.
