Try turning on the “Debug rules” option in the rules tab and look in the output for any rules looping.

Do you have a lot of rules configured for these triggers? Sometimes you are better off with a custom function if it requires a lot of “logic” to get to your goal.

Hi,
Which version of DFFS are you using? Can you add a screenshot of the rule you use to show these extra fields?

Alexander

Hi,
Yes, DFFS works only with unmodified, out of the box forms, but your suggested approach should work. Let me know if you have further questions.

Hi,
This sounds strange. Can you add some screenshots and more details on the DFFS setup?

Hi,
You can do this by opening your NewForm like this:

Hi,
You might be better off using a calculated column like this:

=YEAR([Start Time])&""

Set the output to “single line of text” and please note the &”” at the end – this is to force the output as text and not a number.

Hi,
The field type mentioned is not supported in the function “setFieldValue”, but you can set it like this in the Custom JS section in the Misc tab like this:

$(spjs.dffs.fields["fAllDayEvent"]).find("input").prop("checked","checked");

Hope this helps,
Alexander

Hi,
We have sorted this out by email, but for others experiencing the same:

As you have found, this behavior occurs when you have not configured the form with DFFS yet, and therefore no configuration is found. The overlay will time out with “this took forever”, but you can scroll down to the bottom of the form to find the “Enhanced with DFFS” button. When you have saved the configuration, the overlay should behave properly.

Hope this helps,
Alexander

This will be added in the upcoming release.

Hi,
I cannot think of any other method than to set up a rule for a selection of fields that you want them to change, use the trigger “is changed from initial value” and call “showTheSaveBtn” in the “Run these functions.

Then add this to the Custom JS:

// Hide initially
spjs.dffs.toggleSaveBtn(false);

// This function triggers on a rule
function showTheSaveBtn(){
	spjs.dffs.toggleSaveBtn(true);
}

Hit F12 and look at the console for errors. Also check the “Document mode” and the “User agent string”. You may also check to see whether or not you have the site in “Compatibility mode” – if it is on, switch it off and the other way around.

There are other reporting the same issue and it might be due to a timing issue and possibly that the user clicks two times on the calendar icon.

It looks like this is the datepicker window that resides. Which version of SharePoint are you using, and what browser are you using?

This is possible. Add this code to the custon JS in the Misc tab:

(function(){
	var b = [""];
	b.push("<td class='ms-toolbar' nowrap='nowrap'>");
	b.push("<input type='button' class='ms-ButtonHeightWidth' value='Final save' onclick='finalSave();' />");
	b.push("</td>"); 
	b.push("<td class='ms-separator'> </td>");
	$("input[id$=diidIOSaveItem]:last").parents("table:first").parents("td:first").before(b.join(""));
})();

function finalSave(){
	setFieldValue("YourFieldInternalName","Completed");
	$("input[id$=diidIOSaveItem]:last").click();
}

You must change the “YourFieldInternalName” in the finalSave function.

Hi David,
I have tried to set up a site and list as you describe, but I cannot recreate the issue. Can you email me some screenshots of your setup so I can look into it?

You find my email in the “About me” tab in the top of the page.

Best regards,
Alexander

If you use the debug option to make the original input fields visible – does this give you any clues?

Could it be that you have a rule in DFFS that strips away your value?
