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.

Sorry! I probably should have posted this on the DFFS forum but:

spjs.dffs.hideFormMenu

[Jonathan Stamper]

That is really cool! I didn’t know that existed. Fortunately, I’m not using any workflows at the moment but I’m sure I will have to transition to them in the future with SP Online. What sort of hinderances are you referring when using Flow?

[Jonathan Stamper]

Ah, ok I’ll take a look into that thanks for letting me know.

[Jonathan Stamper]

That was it. I needed to change the order of operations between the AC and the Create Copy. Big thanks!!!

Now I just need to put in a logic for the children and I should be good.

[Jonathan Stamper]

Ah, I see I tried to include it in my dffs_ready() but that means I’d need to shut off all my rules and alerts to correctly do it. That is unless I shouldn’t do it in there.

[Jonathan Stamper]

Oh, the order to which the AC is initiated to when the values are populated would cause that error I’m getting. Ok, I’ll check that out. Many thanks!

[Jonathan Stamper]

Oops, that’s supposed to be a lower case v for the val variable.

[Jonathan Stamper]

I had a chance to try and invoke and I’m getting a “TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘items’). I’m trying to load in 2 AC fields (one is a multi-field). The error occurs right after executing the spjs.ac.setFieldValue section below:

if(GetUrlKeyValue("CreateCopy") === "1"){
    var str = sessionStorage.getItem("SaveAndCreateNewData"), data;
    if(str !== null){
        data = JSON.parse(str);
        jQuery.each(data,function(fin,val){
           If (fin===“field1” || fin===“field2”){
             spjs.ac.setFieldValue(fin,Val);
           } else {
             setFieldValue(fin,val);
           }
         });
    }

[Jonathan Stamper]

Ah that’s right I forgot about the invoke functions available from the AC manuals and references. Much appreciated as always!

[Jonathan Stamper]

Oh I get it! The if(GetURLKeyValue…) is outside a function because it’s like my last step for the new form to pick up and copy the data over on. That’s cool.

Is there a specific way I should render AC fields? It looks like they are coming in but not rendering exactly as they would if a user selects them in.

[Jonathan Stamper]

Got it so instead of using presave just trigger via a function that takes the session storage, opens new form and drops it all in there?

[Jonathan Stamper]

Let’s say I have an edit form of a completed item and I wanted to copy or duplicate that request on to a New Form. Would the same logic above work?

[Jonathan Stamper]

Yeah, I just tested it and it worked very well. I ended up setting multiple {internalFieldName} parts, separated by comma, in the to and cc and it’s working well. Looks like I get to clean up my code a little ha-ha.

Thank you so much! As always! Pizza on me ha-ha!

[Jonathan Stamper]

Ah, yep! The more I dove into it the more I was wondering that being the case also. I just put that in and will try that out. Much appreciated.

With that setup I described I wouldn’t be able to use drag and drop because I’m requiring a metadata selection on each attachment.
