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.
That’s a good point. I ended up hosing it for now.
One-off question – does spjs.dffs.alert have a timeout feature? I was going to do an alert popup that would show up for about 3 seconds and then disappear.
That was it! Just needed some time before executing. I even included a 3rd option to catch the mouse up event on the spjs_acItem class to continue appending the field next to it as the user starts clicking items all in one go.
Though it’s a rough/ugly way of setting other fields using multi-select ac it works great!
Ah dang the mouse up is close but still returns the removed item using SetFieldValue. I tried “change” and that didn’t work either. I tried to create a rule but since my ac field is actually a multi-line plain text field I don’t think I can create a rule on that.
I figured it out…
- I had some old AC code in my Custom JS section of the child forms. I’m using external js files now, with the ac inside a function, so it was conflicting
- Once I removed the old Custom JS, the AC on the New child form worked correctly calling the ac function in vLookupPresetFromURLDone
- Finally, the edit form stopped working with AC until I called it in dffs_ready within an if statement using spjs.dffs.data.isEditForm
Glad I got that working as that was causing some headaches haha.
Oh, I think I see why, it’s based on when the child form loads. I’m using vLookupPresetFromURLDone(fin) but it’s almost like it needs to literally wait until everything has loaded to capture. I have it on dff_ready and that doesn’t seem to work either.
I’m not sure if there is another onLoad option.
Ok, I’ll try that out. In terms of when/where the action would occur it would be after returning to the main form from child form and/or during dffs_ready and pre-save.
I’m doing light “data integrity” between what the requestor chooses in the main AC, and what is/isn’t available as a list item in a vLookup/child list. Only Admins can add to the vLookup/child list and I wanted to attempt to auto-update the AC values on the main form to reduce manual updating.
Right now, I have it set up where if a requestor adds items in the main AC field, when they save the request, the selections are then created as list items in the child list for additional usage and future reporting opportunities.
Does setFieldValue work for a multi-select AC? I’m trying to use the logic from the manual below but I may have it in the correct format for a multi-select.
spjs.ac.setFieldValue("AutocompleteFieldInternalName","The_Selected_Value");Ah-ha! I just wrapped the ac in
window.addEventListener(‘load’, function(){ spjs.ac.textfield({…}); });That seems to have worked, unless there is a better approach.
I got it working. I ended up just using the .css(“visibility”,”visible/hidden”) action with conditionals for the button and table.
I couldn’t get options mentioned for spjshidden to work without it reappearing when I clicked to another tab or showing once I clicked to another tab and then returned.
For some reason, when ran in dffs_ready, the button or table won’t show/hide initially until I go to another tab then return to the attachments. No issues in the code nor on the console. I do have the setting turned on to remember where you left off on the form. Could that be causing he issue or maybe Should put them in an onload/ready function?
Actually as an update, I turned off the “remember” functionality but that causes me to have to click the attachments tab, click another tab then back to attachments to see the button or table.
