Please help! Problem with Custom form's Init_fields_v2()

[Nan Duangnapa]

Hi Alex and all,

I’m new to SPJS and need to implement exact solution for my site to display another list columns.

https://spjsblog.com/2013/10/16/display-information-from-another-list-based-on-a-lookup-column-connection-updated-version/

I understand that I need 2 .js files;
PullInformationFromConnectedList.js
spjs-utility.js

However, I also need to modify the init_fields()_v2 function in order for the demo code to work with my custom form site.
Refer to https://spjsblog.com/2010/01/25/how-to-use-these-scripts-in-a-customized-form/

Here is what I did
1)I have replaced this function in my spjs-utility.js.

function init_fields_v2(){
var res = {};
$(“td.ms-formlabel”).each(function(){
var thisID = this.id;
res[thisID] = $(this).parents(‘tr:first’);
});
return res;
}

2) I added custom Id to the ‘s formlabel which I only insert 1 place in my create new form.
<td width=”190px” valign=”top” class=”ms-formlabel” id=”StatusCustomID”>

3) I added the following to the CEWP in custom form site:

fields = init_fields_v2();
var myCompanyField = $(fields[‘StatusCustomID’]);
alert(myTitleField.html());

I follow the rest of steps as arrFinAndDispName function.

Results:
alert(myTitleField.html()) shows “undefined”
Nothing display on my new form.

Did I do anything wrong?
Thank you so much

Hi,
I think you have mixed up the variables – you assign the value to “myCompanyField” but alerts “myTitleField”. Try alerting “” instead.

If this don’t work, you can try using the developer console (hit F12 > Console) and type this in the console to see if the fields object contains your fields:

fields

Hit enter and look at the output.

Thank you so much Alex.

I had fixed the code and the alert shows [object object]. Is it supposed to show this?

Besides this, are my above steps correct? especially editing init_fields_V2() in spjs-unitilty.js while leaving the init_fields() function in the file?

Thank you so much

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. The alert [object object] means it is an object type an not a string. You can use console.log(PUT_VARIABLE_HERE) to see what the variable contains. Please note that you must have the developer console open (hit F12 > Console) to see the output.
