Alexander, I’m unable to send email outside my organization. Attempting to rectify. If successful, I’ll send the config.
I sometimes create Permission Groups on a site for the sole purpose of managing visibility of tabs in a DFFS form, when the use case calls for it. You might already have groups that fit your needs. Since the “Which groups can see this tab” is a dropdown that shows you all the permission groups (by name) within your site collection, it is much easier to use than using a group in a rule trigger.
I’m getting the Authentication error frequently. Note to self: try saving the config after making a single change, instead of making multiple changes that might get lost. Right now, I’m guessing that it is a timing thing. I just modified a form on a browser screen that had been open overnight, and after 10 minutes of modifications, got the authentication error and lost all my changes.
Travis, this might work: If you populate the title field by a rule that concatenates the three fields you are referring to, and set the title field (on the native sharepoint list settings) to NOT allow duplicates in the title field, SharePoint will prevent any duplicates.
You could enhance the user experience by explaining on the form that the combination of the three fields needs to be unique, so they have some idea why SharePoint is giving them a very obtuse error message.
You could use vLookup (must be set up carefully on a new form, but very do-able) to show any other items from the list that have the same title as they choose those three fields. You could even include the Edit button in the vlookup table, and instructions to go edit the already existing item (in a new browser tab) and cancel their new item, if needed.
I hope that helps out.
Brian, are you sure that both are LIBRARIES? I just looked at one of my sites, where I am using v4.4.5.14 of DFFS, and when I apply DFFS to a LIBRARY and look at the Hidden Fields section in the MISC tab in the DFFS configuration, no columns are showing.
When I apply DFFS to a CUSTOM LIST and look at the Hidden Fields section in the MISC tab in the DFFS configuration, all the list columns are showing.
Here are some things to check: 1. You mention that select users who are in the “Secondary Review Team Members” permission group are able to click the Save button with no issues. Does that permission group have Contribute access on the list? Or are the ‘select users’ given Contribute some other way? If the group itself is not given Contribute on the list, try giving the group itself Contribute permissions.
2. Although you say that the impacted users ‘cannot click the Save button’, you don’t say whether the button is missing from the form for them, or whether they get some kind of error message (or no response at all) when they try to click the button. Check the advanced settings on the list to be sure that the list is NOT set to only allow users to edit items they have created. OR, if that setting IS set, and is needed, give the “Secondary Review Team Members” permission group Design permissions on the list.These two things may not work, but they are worth checking.
Alex may have additional suggestions.
