      Hi Alexander,

      Is there a way to position the cursor to a specific field after Rules have been fired?
      I’ve got a bunch of Content Types and a Managed Metadata field which uses the set field value in a rule.

      Once rule is triggered, if I click in an empty text field and click Save all works fine, but if I just click Save I get error:
      “Value cannot be null. Parameter name: Term Id”. (attached)

      If you can please provide a script that can click in a text field after rules are fired, this would help me seal the deal for DFFs SCA license purchase.
      Ask if you need more details?
      Thanks.

      Hi Alexander,
      From further testing, are you able to provide a script to click out of the Managed Metadata box from a function in a Rule?
      The last field on the form is this “Doc” Managed Metadata field and it seems to work when I click on anywhere else on the form, then I click Save button.
      I’ve been Googling this and I was leaning towards a jQuery .focusout method, is that right?
      Your help is much appreciated.
      Regards.

      Hi,
      You can try adding this to your Custom JS and call the function from the “Run these functions / trigger these rules” in the rule:

      function focusOnTitle(){
          jQuery("#dffs_Title input:text").focus();
      }

      Thank you Alexander that worked perfectly.
      I also changed it to use the filename column:

      jQuery("#dffs_FileLeafRef input:text").focus();

      SCA license purchase will follow shortly now that my Manager is impressed DFFS could do what Nintex Forms couldn’t.
      Cheers.

      I’m having trouble setting the focus on form load to a people picker field. I tried the function above (as jQuery(“#dffs_Recipient input:text”).focus();) without success. Any thoughts as to why it is not working?

      Thanks in advance.

        Hi,
        I think the people picker input in earlier SP versions might actually be a div (with contenteditable property) – use the developer tools to inspect the field and change the selector to target the correct element.
