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?
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.
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.
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!
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); } }); }Ah that’s right I forgot about the invoke functions available from the AC manuals and references. Much appreciated as always!
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.
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?
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?
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!
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.
Using the code above, on occasion it doesn’t rename the child vLookup folder and provides no errors in the log. I think it may have to do with either timing during submission and/or browser compatibility where some users still prefer IE…not sure why though…
Curious if you had any thoughts and/or other solutions? Also, based on background below, could drag and drop be used?
What I’m doing:
- On new form a user selects the attachments tab showing only attachment set up button.
- Clicking the button creates a “temp” folder using the vlookup ID (“:” converted to “_”) in the child doc library. 3 sub-folders are also created and one of the sub-folders is where the attachments go linking to parent. It’s always the same sub-folder.
- The vLookup table and attach file button appears the user can then attach their files (curious about drag and drop here) and they are also required to select from a drop down to add the attachment.
- When the user submits the new form, a programmatic id is created (not a fan of this but they want it). That id is then used to rename the folder on the doc lib.
I tried to create something to check for the renaming when saving in edit form and that’s when I noticed it not always renaming.
