Hi Alexander
I am trying to fill the new item field with the existing current value of the same field.
(I am using vLookup to make a “copy” of the current item)Best regards
/MarcusI eventually got round to testing this.
If you create a brand new rule with a Yes/No field and do NOT change the default value from “No” then the rule does not fire.
WORKAROUND
You need to edit the rule change the trigger to “Yes”, Save the form. Open the form back up, go to Rules and change the trigger value back to “No”. Then it works.Found this effect on the “New” form (haven’t tested the others)
Also, in a vLokokup would it be possible to customise the message which current defaults to:
“There are no items matching this query”
I may just like to say “None” or even “”
😀
/MarcusThanks Alexander, but what calls this function? Is it called automatically whenever any field is changed?
ThanksSpoke too soon. Don’t quite get the example.
I want to trigger the update of a specific field when another changes and i want to do the same for twenty fields
i.e.
when A is changed, B is updated
or
when C is changed, D is updated
or
When E is changed, F is updated
or
etc.Thanks
Hi Alexander, yes that may work but I would still need the users to be able to Save – without going to the Edit form.
How about a “Save and Edit” option on Quick Save? That gives me all three options:
1. Stay on New form with QuickSave
2. Go to the Edit form with “Save and Edit”
3. Just “Save and Close”/Marcus
Hi Chrisoph,
I have created my own view (not changed the default one) in this list that has “Title”, “Form” (first instance of the column) and Last Modified date.
This is great if you want to see the last time you updated the form and what form type is being used.
If you are developing your own forms, this is a great way of easily identifiing the form configurations to copy if you do updates
You could also add a “Version” column to keep track of form changes
/MarcusWendi,
Also note that this works great for Lookup fields. So
getFieldValue(“your_field_name”);
returns the VALUE in the field not just the ID of the item being looked up.More info:
My “original” item has tweleve columns, eleven of them are Lookup columns (Which do NOT retrieve the “Title” of the source).I am trying to “clone” my twelve column item and I am using the “New” opiton in a vLookup.
I want to create a brand new item and set the default values of nine of the eleven lookups with the same values as the original.
This used to work but now when I use the “New” button, only the first of the eleven lookups gets popualted in the new item and I have to manually select the other ten.
Hope this explains it better.
Best regards
/Marcus
