UPDATE: It’s still doing for some reason even if it’s false.

It was reValidateOnLoad = true. Changing it to false on a multi-select is what it should have been. Works now. Ha-ha, it’s been a while since I’ve dug into this stuff.

Got it! Thank you for the information!

I have one more question, and happy to add in the vlookup forum instead. I mentioned this to you before regarding the three lists and I was curious if vLookup would be a good approach.

List C is the main intake list with a dropdown that has selections A and B. If they select A then the new item is added to list A. If B is selected then the new item is added to list B.
It would be an automatic add after saving with checks to prevent duplication. Is this doable or difficult in a vLookup?

Is the PostSaveAction available in the classic version of DFFS? If so, could I use email templates to send out emails instead of using workflows?

[Jonathan Stamper]

I’m getting close. I reuploaded DFFS back in to the SPJS folder which didn’t change the error. So then I took the bottom and top CEWPs from a working list on another site, exported them out and imported them into the troubled list. I updated the links on each pointed to the specified locations. It now brings up the updated DFFS edit version link at the bottom of the form but when I select it I’m presented with an error at the top of the page and can’t go any farther.

The site is a subsite and the SPJS folder is in that subsite. Should I put it on the main site and reference from there?

Trying to install the latest version.

[Jonathan Stamper]

Yeah, the webparts are enabled. I wonder if it has something to do with the older version still on it.

Really odd.

[Jonathan Stamper]

I created a UAT space and added the new DFFS items. When I try to install DFFS onto the forms of the UAT list I get an error message: Failed to add the DFFS WebPart(s) to “form name” The file you imported is not valid. Verify that the file is a Web Part description file (.webpart or .Dwp) that contains well-formed xml.

Not sure how to proceed. I pointed the loader file to DFFS which is in SPJS doc library.

I also don’t have any data in the UAT list yet.

[Jonathan Stamper]

Ah, man! I thought that would be the case. I saved the configuration blobs and will look to replicate in a copied UAT list.

[Jonathan Stamper]

I think I figured it out. Once I changed the form settings in the list setting from Powerapps to default SharePoint form it stopped doing it.

I’ll keep you posted if it keeps doing it though.

[Jonathan Stamper]

I’m also noticing dffs automatically opening up when I select the list. It could be part of the vLookup settings I haven’t finished setting up but wanted to check.

[Jonathan Stamper]

This is awesome!!! I love how it’s all coming together. So far, I’ve noticed two minor things. Because I’m testing using a dark SharePoint background, the Add New Item under the vLookup configuration appears to blend in with the white background and text (see image). Also, I needed to change my form settings to PowerApps to get the latest version of DFFS to respond.

Other than that, I love this. Excellent work Alex!!!

What’s next on the agenda of updates?

You know what would be really cool, if possible, is having the dffs functions available within the autocomplete of Custom JS.

[Jonathan Stamper]

That’s awesome! I look forward to seeing more.

[Jonathan Stamper]

So far Modern DFFS is awesome! I’ve been able to load it successfully and play around with it a good bit. The only thing I’m noticing, and not sure if it can be updated, is compatibility of fonts to dark themes. You can see in the image, I’m using the dark blue theme with white text which looks to “hide” the field labels in DFFS.

Other than that, I love it and I can’t wait to see how it all shapes out. Especially when using stuff like vLookup.

I managed to pass the parent value over using the sessionStorage.setItem and .getItem. That appears to work for now unless there is a better way out there.
