        Hi Alexander

        We have identified a slight issue with the functionality of the “Connect to list” element in the vLookup tab on DFFS.

        Note that the field configuration will still work if you ignore the verify connection to list option, you just have to be careful with naming. So the overall functionality of DFFS and vlookup is unaffected, but the error on the list validation caused us to go round in a few circles.

        Our setup comprises a top level site that contains all of the DFFS and vlookup code, and the backend config page. We then utilise sub sites below the top level site where we make use of DFFS on forms (each containing their own SPJS-DynamicFormsForSharePoint and SPJS-vLookupSettings lists).

        We have found that when doing the vlookup config, {currentSite} in List base URL actually uses the top level site where the backend page is, and not the site on which the form is being used, so when you try to validate the connection to the list (in the sub site) you get a message to say the connection is invalid.

        Would it be possible to pass the url of the actual site that the form is being used on into the backend vlookup configuration, so that {currentSite} would correctly connect to the list in question?

          Hi,
          I’ll look into this for the next release.
