No problem,
I’ll fix the issue related to lists with content types turned on later tonight. If you only use the Item content type in your list you can turn it off under “List settings > Advance settings > Allow management of content types”.

Are you sure you have DispForm configured with DFFS for the list? – the title-click only opens DFFS if DFFS is configured.

Please note that it looks like the “Sync” feature must still be turned OFF for the command-set-extension to load – read more here.

It looks like the “new item” button is different when you have the “Settings > Advance settings > Allow management of content types” turned on.

I’ll look into it and fix it. If you don’t actually use content types you can turn it off to fix the problem.

Hi Wayne,
I’m not able to recreate this issue. I have tried both with “single action” button and “double action” where you get a dropdown to select item or folder.

Can you give me some more information (and possibly a screenshot)?

Best regards,
Alexander

I have released a new version of the Modern DFFS that should fix the problem with the new Modern UI that Microsoft have pushed on September 4, 2024.

Read more here: https://spjsblog.com/2024/09/04/modern-dffs-v1-0-66-0-has-been-released/

Please let me know how it works out – and let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,
Alexander

Thanks for letting me know. Now that the new UI is rolled out and the command set extension can be properly tested, there are some changes I need to do to make it properly override the out of the box form.

Right click > Edit still works, but click on title and … does not.

I’ll look through it and try to get it fixed later today or tomorrow and release a new version.

Hi,
I suspect this is because the user don’t have read access to the SPJS document library where the DFFS code files are located.

Sorry, I missed your reply. The problem is that you in the “Build query” part queries the child list for items where the field _vLookupParentID is equal to the current items ID, but you are not transferring the ID to the child item in the “Prefill values in child”.

If you want to use the parent items ID to link to the child items you must change this line

From _vLookupID to _vLookupParentID

to

From ID to _vLookupParentID

Alternatively you can change the Build query “Search value” from [currentItem:ID] to [currentItem:_vLookupID]

1. To do this you can use the function dffs_vLookup_callback (see this post for instructions). If the field you want to read back to the parent item is not in your vLookup table you can include it in the “Include additional fields for use in customizer functions” dropdown at the bottom of the Build the table tab.

This function will show you all the child items as an array and you can loop through them to get the value you want.

Alternatively you can add a PreSaveAction like this in your child form:

dffs_PreSaveAction = function(){
  child_status = getFieldValue("Status");
  return true;
}

This variable (because it is not defined with var, let or const) will be available in Custom JS in the parent item. You can use the dffs_vLookup_callback function to pick up the variable and write it to a field in the current item.

2. There is no built in support for nested vLookups so that must be done using custom js.

Not sure why it did not work when you used a file, but based on the fact that you use the old JSLink installer, I assume you use an older version of DFFS. If you hover over the Enhanced with DFFS link below the form and click the License and version information link you can see the version numbers.

The SP Services license is an OEM license for the core functionality that they deliver. This means you cannot use that license for additional lists that are not part of the package delivered by SP Services.

If you want to use DFFS in additional sites you must purchase a site or site collection license.

I have created a test config that you can import into a list. It will show you how to use the custom js and call one of the functions from a HTML section.

Create a new list with only the title field and install DFFS. Go to the Export, import and restore tab and import the config by copy pasting from the attached file.

Please note that the function will obviously not work in this test list because the target fields are missing.

It looks like my attachment plugin suddenly blocks txt files – trying again with a zip.

To answer that I must see the vLookup configuration (export and attach as txt or screenshot the full configuration).

Alexander

[Alexander Bautz]

txt-files should be no problem to upload. Can you ensure it is a proper .txt file and try again? – if not, see the Contact tab above and email it to me.

The solution uses this control to render the taxonomy picker: https://pnp.github.io/sp-dev-fx-controls-react/controls/TaxonomyPicker/

My guess is that there is some caching built into the control. Have you tried opening a new fresh tab and see if it shows the new terms?

Alexander

[Alexander Bautz]

My first thought is that you had the code wrapped in a block (function or if-statement) so it was not available in the global window namespace, but without seeing your entire custom js code I cannot tell for sure.

In general you can add functions to the Custom JS code editor and call the functions from a button in a HTML section or by calling them from a rule.
