Text box amendments text missing

[Paul Keane]

There is an issue with the DFFS forms (View and Edit) when I create a text box that I want to have amended, It appears on the form as a list of name and date/time stamps but there is no visible text.

When I disable DFFS I get the Name and date/time stamp and the text.

Hi,
I tested with both a multiline plain text and rich text both in dispform and editform, but the values show as they are supposed to – see attached image.

Can you check the developer tools (F12 > Console) and see if there are any errors that might give a clue?

I forgot to ask which version of Modern DFFS you are running in this site.

The console.log did not provide any clues unfortunately. I’m not aware that I have fixed any related issues in later versions, but try updating to the latest version (currently v1.2.6.0) and see if that fixes the issue.

I have requested update thank you … Ill keep you posted

Hi Alex – I found that the naming convention is key again with this issue keeping it plain seemed to fix the error (Even though no error message). Then I re-named it to suit my needs Cheers

I’m glad you were able to fix it. Do you know what the original field name was? – I can try to recreate it and see if I can prevent this error in the future.

it was 1.13 Feedback

Thanks, I have made changes to ensure this works in the next version. The problem was all the underscore characters in the field internal name. Using 1.13 Feedback as the field name results in this internal name: _x0031__x002e_13_x0020_Feedback.

The problem then escalates when the version history of the list item for some reason uses this as the internal name for the same field (all “_” characters are converted to “_x005f_”): OData__x005f_x0031_x005f__x005f_x002e_x005f_13_x005f_x0020_x005f_Feedback
