ParticipantAlexander,
YES! Success!
Thank you for your patience – I know you support many users, but you stayed with me and guided me to success.
Stay well, R’grds – Ben.
BenR
ParticipantAlexander,
Very good – now the sort is modified, but “Other” is moved to the top of the list instead of at the bottom.
Is there another tweak you can recommend?
R’grds – Ben.
BenR
ParticipantAlexander,
I’m only part way successful. I have removed the this particular Cascade from the Cascading Dropdown tab, and manually invoked from the Custom JS tab. (Should I mention that I have two other Cascades specified in the Cascading Dropdown tab?).
The cascade works, however the sort seems not to have an affect – the list still follows standard alphabetic sort.
This is what I have assembled… The letter I would like to force to the bottom of the list is “O”, and tier-1’s internal name is “Title”
//Manual invocation of Cascade for ProductLineL1 spjs.casc.customSort.Title = function(a, b) { // Put O last in the dropdown if(a.text === "O" || b.text === "O"){ return -1; } // Normal alphabetic sorting if(a.text < b.text){ return -1; } if(a.text > b.text){ return 1; } return 0; }; spjs.casc.init( { "manualMode":true, "dataSource":"", "lookupList":"ProductLines", "lookupListBaseUrl":"https://sp.REDACTED.net/sites/spptdgsl/VPP", "lookupListFields":["Title","ProductLineL2","ProductLineGrouping"], "thisListFields":["ProductLineL1","ProductLineL2","ProductLineGrouping"], "setFields":[], "dropDownDefaultvalue":"- Select - ", "filter":"", "hideEmptyDropdowns":false, "autoselectSingleOption":true, "clearInvalidSelection":false, "addOwnValue":false, "addOwnValueMouseover":"", "cancelOwnValueMouseover":"", "sideBySide":true, "multichoiceDelimiter": ";" + String.fromCharCode(13, 10), // this represents a semicolon and a linefeed "debug":false } );
Does this look right?
As always, your support and efforts are appreciated!

ParticipantAlexander,
Yes! Your fix has addressed my symptom, and I am now running v4.4.5.21 in production.

I’ve captured console errors only in the attached file, comparing DFFS_v4.4.5.18 (SUCCESSFUL) to DFFS_v4.4.5.20 (FAILING)

ParticipantSooo… Alexander,
Why have you not responded to my question? It’s a pretty simple request (I think) and I don’t find sufficient information to do this on my own. Your original solution, posted in 2014, is not working.
I’ve found you highly responsive in the past – is this a sensitive subject? Frankly, I don’t ask if I know the answer – I really don’t understand, but am willing to try. I’ve learned from each answer you have provided.
Okay, if you don’t solve my problem and answer my question – at least tell me why you won’t. As I’ve stated with each time I’ve reached out for your support, I sincerely appreciate your support and efforts!
R’grds – Ben.

ParticipantAlexander,
I hope you are well.I am attempting a simple thing – I would like to highlight a field with background color while it is blank. My preference is not to make it a Required field, but maintain a highlight until it is populated. I’ve tried to use the top-most solution in this thread, but to no avail.
Required: While SPFieldText: CompassID is blank, change it’s background color to “#fcd4dc”. Else, if populated, leave it white.
Would this be triggered by a rule on CompassID?
As always, your support and efforts are greatly appreciated!
R’grds – Ben.

ParticipantWhoops! I embarrass myself – Err: .01% should be 1%.
BenR
ParticipantAlexander,
I’ve gathered more statistics to judge effectiveness of my prior vs. current JS method…
Assuming that a given function will never succeed 100% of the time, grouping eight operations into one function produced a 15% failure rate across 100 invocations (one per record).
However, by breaking the eight operations into eight discrete functions each invoked once per record, the failure rate drops dramatically. The next 50 records (8×50=400 invocations) resulted in only four failures, or .01% – which is totally acceptable in my application.
Thank you for your support, I think I have a solution!
R’grds – Ben.

ParticipantAlexander,
As my solution was to replicate the provided code eight times to address eight People Picker fields, plus the symptom is a failure of the bulk function, I’ve broken the bulk function into eight discreet functions…
I hope to see a possible improvement, and am gathering statistics.
R’grds – Ben.
BenR
ParticipantAlexander,
I hope you are well and staying safe.
I have applied this method to retrieve additional information from eight People Picker fields (all single selection fields). I have triggered this function to On-Save rules in both NewItem and EditItem forms. However, I find that it doesn’t always work, where none of the destination fields are populated – this is in 15 of 100 sampled records.
I cannot find a pattern across the 15 failed records
- Some created via NewItem, some subsequently edited in EditItem
- Different users either create or edit failed records
- My firm uses IE, Chrome, and Firefox – but I can’t tell what my users use, but my tests show all three browsers work
Is there something in my code that you see that could cause this 15% failure rate?
function acquireRoleDetail(){ jQuery.each(spjs.utility.getFieldValue({"fin":"Compass_x0020_Delivery_x0020_Man","key":"loginName"}),function(i,login){ var ppData = spjs.utility.userInfo(login); setFieldValue("DeliveryManagerSIP",ppData.SipAddress); setFieldValue("DeliveryManagerSID",ppData.Name.slice(-7).toUpperCase()); }); jQuery.each(spjs.utility.getFieldValue({"fin":"ExecutiveSponsor","key":"loginName"}),function(i,login){ var ppData = spjs.utility.userInfo(login); setFieldValue("ExecutiveSponsorSIP",ppData.SipAddress); setFieldValue("ExecutiveSponsorSID",ppData.Name.slice(-7).toUpperCase()); }); jQuery.each(spjs.utility.getFieldValue({"fin":"FinalApprover","key":"loginName"}),function(i,login){ var ppData = spjs.utility.userInfo(login); setFieldValue("FinalApproverSIP",ppData.SipAddress); setFieldValue("FinalApproverSID",ppData.Name.slice(-7).toUpperCase()); }); jQuery.each(spjs.utility.getFieldValue({"fin":"FinanceManager","key":"loginName"}),function(i,login){ var ppData = spjs.utility.userInfo(login); setFieldValue("FinanceManagerSIP",ppData.SipAddress); setFieldValue("FinanceManagerSID",ppData.Name.slice(-7).toUpperCase()); }); jQuery.each(spjs.utility.getFieldValue({"fin":"LegalContact","key":"loginName"}),function(i,login){ var ppData = spjs.utility.userInfo(login); setFieldValue("LegalContactSIP",ppData.SipAddress); setFieldValue("LegalContactSID",ppData.Name.slice(-7).toUpperCase()); }); jQuery.each(spjs.utility.getFieldValue({"fin":"SourcingCategoryDirector","key":"loginName"}),function(i,login){ var ppData = spjs.utility.userInfo(login); setFieldValue("SourcingCategoryDirectorSIP",ppData.SipAddress); setFieldValue("SourcingCategoryDirectorSID",ppData.Name.slice(-7).toUpperCase()); }); jQuery.each(spjs.utility.getFieldValue({"fin":"SourcingManager","key":"loginName"}),function(i,login){ var ppData = spjs.utility.userInfo(login); setFieldValue("SourcingCategoryManagerSIP",ppData.SipAddress); setFieldValue("SourcingCategoryManagerSID",ppData.Name.slice(-7).toUpperCase()); }); jQuery.each(spjs.utility.getFieldValue({"fin":"VendorManager","key":"loginName"}),function(i,login){ var ppData = spjs.utility.userInfo(login); setFieldValue("VendorManagerSIP",ppData.SipAddress); setFieldValue("VendorManagerSID",ppData.Name.slice(-7).toUpperCase()); }); }

ParticipantAlexander,
Yes! SPJS-utility_v1.348 fixed my issue.
Aside from clearing the cache, I found I had to Update loader file in DFFSInstaller_V2 (… If you have updated DFFS to a new version you should hit the button to write a new timestamp to the loader file to prevent the browser from caching the script files.).
Once done, SPJS-utility_v1.348 loaded correctly, and my symptom is resolved.
Again, your support and efforts are greatly appreciated!
R’grds – Ben.

ParticipantAlexander,
v4.4.5.0_2020-06-01 has addressed this issue.
Thank you so much for your support and efforts!
R’grds – Ben.
BenR
ParticipantAlexander,
Further investigation… I’ve found that the symptom occurs with my Tabs configuration with the target field (ContractualPayment) placed on all three of my Tabs. To illustrate, please see attachments – one shows the symptom occurring when Tabs are selected after initial form load, and the second shows the three Tabs configuration and placement of the target field.
- I’ve confirmed that no other rule addresses the target field
- I’ve removed the first rule, and now only the NOT Member of Group Rule, Hide Field with allowed reversing remains
- The symptom persists with v4.4.4.32_2020-05-10
- The symptom DOES NOT occur with v4.4.4.23_2020-02-13
- If I remove the target field from two of the three tabs (so it appears only on one Tab), the symptom DOES NOT occur
So, a temporary work around is to remove the target field from two of the three tabs. However, I would not consider this a fix.
As always, thank you for your support and efforts!
R’grds – Ben.-
