Rules Limitation?

[Kyle Vaske]

Is there an amount limitation to the rules that can be applied a form? I have created a list that is growing rather large as the users keep asking for more data to be displayed on it. The list format is several questions that have a Yes/No choice, and then a comments field for each question. They are asking for a rule to be in place for if the answer is No, the comments tab will be required. This would be in place for over a hundred fields, with each question requiring a separate Rule. Will this get too large and slow down the processing of the list?

There is not a definitive limit, but 100 rules will take its toll on the browser. I have not tried this myself though.

Your specific requirement would be better solved with a few lines of custom JS. This will require a list of the fields you want to apply this rule to, and a corresponding list of comment fields to make required.

I’ll try to whip up an example during the weekend.

A SharePoint List of all the Yes/No columns and another list of all the corresponding Comments columns? Do they need to have matching ID values for each corresponding set of fields?

Hi,
Add this code to the Custom JS section in the Misc tab. Change the FieldInternalNames in the “arr” to match your field names:

(function(){
	var arr, chk; 
	arr = [
		{"trigger":"YesNoFieldNr1","comment":"YesNoFieldNr1_comment"},
		{"trigger":"YesNoFieldNr2","comment":"YesNoFieldNr2_comment"},
		{"trigger":"YesNoFieldNr3","comment":"YesNoFieldNr3_comment"}
	];
	$.each(arr,function(i,o){
		// Click
		chk = $(spjs.dffs.fields[o.trigger]).find("input:checkbox");
		chk.click(function(){
			toggle_requiredByYesNo($(this),o)
		});
		// Load
		toggle_requiredByYesNo(chk,o);
	});
})();

function toggle_requiredByYesNo(elm,o){
	if(elm.prop("checked")){
		spjs.dffs.flag_Mandatory([o.comment]);	
	}else{
		spjs.dffs.clear_Mandatory([o.comment]);	
	}
}
