Redirect do EditForm on Specified tab

[Filipe Ribeiro]

Hello

I’m adding a button in DispForm, for when the date is expired the user can add new date. Is it possible, with js to redirect to EditForm on a specified tab (only with date field and other ones)?

Note: all tabs are hidden

Hi,
You can link to a specific tab by adding the sTab query string parameter to the URL like this:

/Lists/DFFS_TestList/EditForm.aspx?ID=52&sTab=5

If you want to show a specific tab when entering EditForm from this link you can add another query string parameter like this:

/Lists/DFFS_TestList/EditForm.aspx?ID=52&sTab=5&ShowChangeDatetab=1

Now create a rule in your EditForm that triggers on “Selected tab index / Tab unique ID” = “ShowChangeDatetab=1” and show / hide your selected tabs.

Hi again,

I didn’t quite follow how to proceed to this solution.

Was thinking on another solution that was to open a modal of the form with the EditForm (on that specific tab) but I’m still blocked on the part that’s how to open the correct ID form/tab.

You can add a button on DispForm with code like this to redirect to EditForm. Add this in a HTML section:

<input type="button" value="Open EditForm" onclick="goToEditForm();return false;">

Now put this in your Custom JS:

function goToEditForm(){
    location.href = "/Sites/YourSite/Lists/YourList/EditForm.aspx?ID=" + spjs.dffs.data.thisItemID + "&sTab=5";
}

Change 5 to whatever index your tab has in EditForm.

Yes that’s it was missing the “how to get the source id”. Really appreciate your help, once again 😉
