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.
Ah, man! I thought that would be the case. I saved the configuration blobs and will look to replicate in a copied UAT list.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, it’s still doing it after trying out other things. I’ve hidden the option from the user to keep it checked out on close so it wouldn’t be that causing the issue. I ended up creating a “CheckOut” data sheet list view only accessible by our team to handle any items checked out that shouldn’t be. That’s the only other thing I can think of at this stage. I tried a workflow in SP Designer (still on on-premise) and that tended to create a lot of conflict errors with users so I turned that off.
So it appears that I’m still having issues where at least 1-3 times a day the Checked Out field will not flip back to No when a user submits or cancels out of a list item.
Are there any additional things I can try and/or test out that may assist?
This appears to work but I can’t seem to get it to toggle. I’m trying to only make it visible when clicking in multi-lined fields. I’m thinking focus and blur would work but those don’t seem to perform correctly. Click works but continually clicking removes more and more of the form content due to the width and height adjustments.
Got it! That makes sense. Thanks for sharing.
I’m running into a separate issue in that the CheckedOut field will sometimes not switch back to No thus putting items in an infinite “checked out by…” even though no one is in it. Any ideas on what I could do to fix that? I was thinking of just setting the checkedOut = No on save or cancel.
