Thank you! Working on these now.

Hey Alex – A few questions –

1. I have embedded the CommentBox in a tab of my DFFS Form – When someone hits the level 0 subscription bell (to be notified for ALL comments on that tab) – it works fine – but when they hit unsubscribe on the same level, the entire DFFS form reverts to a non DFFS look. How do I avoid that from happening?

2. Can you help me with how I can manipulate the “headerRowTemplateOverride”, “footerRowTemplateOverride”, “subscriptionEmail -> Subject” etc to use a field from the current DFFS form in which the CommentBox is embedded?

3. How do I use html in the above fields to format the size of the texts – currently the header looks very large.

Thank You!
Kash

Forgot to add that the commentbox itself does not show either – I tried putting the CSS link on top of the CSS tab and the JS links on top of JS Tab, added the trial license you gave along with the code in the JS tab body and used a html element in a tab… I’m using SP 2016 and the latest available version of DFFS Classic.

Hey – Question. So looks like the CSS for Commentbox takes priority and suppresses the chevron code you gave above and code we’d built in to show buttons on the top of the form (but just under tabs) – What would be a good way to put the Commentbox css code to be called after the regular CSS code..?

I tried putting all of the code from sites/sitename/SPJS/cBox/css/spjs-cBox.css in the Custom CSS tab under other CSS code, but it’s not working .. (I blanked out the content of the spjs-cBox.css as well).. (:D yeah can you tell I don’t CSS much lol).

Thank You!
Kash

THANK you! We’re customizing the code now for our need! Appreciate the customized code : )!

[Saikia Kashmiri]

Ah! Thank you about the unique field – Will try with a calculated field now.

Reg the fields in the list – Below is a break down of what I got – Thank you!

Attachment – 1 – Do Not Copy
Choice – 23 – Copy All Bar 1 (Skip the very first choice that triggers the copy record function)
Currency – 1 – Do Not Copy
DateTime – 3 – Do Not Copy
LookupMulti – 5 – Copy All
MultiChoice – 33 – Copy All
Multiple lines of text – 38 – Copy All
Single line of text – 18 – Copy All Bar 3 (3 flag fields need to be set to zero)
URL – Do Not Copy (Created by Sharepoint designer for email workflow – Not sure how these behave )
User – 3 – Copy All Bar 1 (Submitter name is captured automatically)
UserMulti – 1 – Do Not Copy
System Field – 4 – Do Not Copy

Attaching screen shots of the code for AC (All fields- Source and Destination – belong to same list).

Reg your question about fields copy – Each record in the list contains questions for the requestor to specify their need (and there are indeed way too many questions : ) ). Not all fields will be populated of course – since many fields are presented conditionally – But at any point in time, I’d say an average of 50 fields will have data for each record.

There will be occasions when the requestor would come back and add another request very similar to a previous record with some changes – The ask is to let the person search for the earlier record, copy it into a new record, make their edits and then submit as a new record.

Technically cloning of the existing record into a new record ..

Thank You!
Kash

Oh scrap .. I missed hitting “Notify me on responses” and thought I never got a response. Alright – I’ll work with our SPUG group about purchase process of commentbox license. Thank you!

[Saikia Kashmiri]

Yes something like this comment section.

So a requestor enters a record – the suppliers who give inputs are reviewing it and have questions – they enter a question that the requestor gets notified about – and they come in and respond to it. The discussion can continue and is visible for everyone to see till the record gets marked completed.

Do I need to install commentBox separately? The last discussions on this are 4 years old and the link “https://spjsblog.com/commentbox-for-sharepoint/installation-manual-v3/#Updating_from_an_older_version” seems to assume I know how to even get that on my form after installation … is there a link that has a more beginner level walk through?

Thank you

[Saikia Kashmiri]

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER :). Thank you. And of course I have more questions.

BTW can I get a QnA thread similar to what we’re using for each record in my parent list? If yes, I can ask this as an independent question so it’s useful for others.
I do see something called CommentBox but the post is very old. So not sure if it’s still a feature..

Thank you again.

Well looks like I can only edit my post twice so here’s the image in a reply heh.

Thank you! All of these worked out :). I am posting a fresh question next in a new thread to keep it clean for others.

[Saikia Kashmiri]

Thank you! Appreciate the quick responses!

[Saikia Kashmiri]

Thank You! Hopefully one last question – Would you help dissect this part for me please? I am new to JS so it’s not clear –

allTeams.forEach(team => {
if (completedTracker[team] === undefined) {
stillPending.push(team);
}
});

Is this code adding the train name whenever effortsize is present to the completedTracker array?

Also what do the curly braces here mean?
let completedTracker = {};

Ah good to know! (about my version heh).
And right – the ask now is slightly different from earlier – as in in the parent, I now need to show who all are pending at any point in time.
So after the 3rd step in my image, the parent screen will show “Team D sizing is pending”.
I was hoping the multichoice column in the parent list would help me achieve both of these:
1. Tell at any point in time who are still pending sizing
2. Tell when everyone has provided sizes and mark sizing completed (Say it always has to be exactly 4 teams).

And thanks for fixing the other code!
