I have a totally different problem. I have deployed v1.0.66 and now DFFS isn’t showing up at all. New, Edit, Display, doesn’t matter. DFFS button doesn’t even show in the list menu bar anymore either. I’m going to have to revert back.

[Travis Goodman]

Thanks, and posting this message to test if I have posting privileges back. The site marked me for spam when I tried to add the log attachment lol.

Alexander, attached you will find the console log file.

Found another interesting workaround. If I double or triple click the title rapidly (within less than 1 second) the form pops up. The console still throws the error I sent above, but it does load the form if I click the title a few times rapidly. This is bizarre.

[Travis Goodman]

I get the exact same console error if I click on the Title as well, not just the … menu

The newest modern list UI stays on the list view, it does not revert back to the original modern ui. When I click the … menu of an item, I get this console error:

dffs-command-set_baa…afc9128cff82b7.js:2

I do have a workaround right now where if you click the checkbox next to the title of the item on the far left, you will then get the Edit button in the list navbar, and when you click the edit button there, you can view your item with Modern DFFS.

That’s all I have for right now, I will follow up as soon as I get more information.

[Travis Goodman]

It appears Microsoft has pushed another update, and now DFFS won’t load at all for modern. What’s even worse is the workaround you gave, I followed it, but there is no “stop syncing” on the list this is occurring on. Only options I have are Settings, Share, and Remove from recent lists.

[Travis Goodman]

Yeah I’m seeing the options this morning. I know for a fact I tried a new tab, but I didn’t totally clear cache because I have a million tabs open, which is a “me” problem. We’re good Alex, thanks!

I did find the field customizer inside vlookup settings just now, but it wasn’t mentioned in user manual. Does modern vLookup have separate documentation like classic vlookup does? the documentation on classic vlookup is really robust, and has helped me a lot! That actually gives me clarity on how to describe what I’m looking for. So in the classic vlookup documentation you have a section about events for event triggering and also a section on accessing the vlookup data object, it’s that kind of advanced stuff I’m looking for to see what I can do within customjs to fully leverage dffs beyond the rules GUI. And I don’t want to focus just on vlookup, that’s just an example. It would help me tremendously if I knew what all built in functions exist that I can leverage in customjs.

[Travis Goodman]

yeah like for example, right now I have a vlookup table that’s bringing in a few calculated columns that output numbers. Even though I have the column in the list set to 2 decimal places, the vlookup table is loading them with like 10 decimal places. I don’t see a clear way on how to custom format those, so I’m just going to do it the old fashioned way with jQuery.

That’s not my best example though, it’d be more like understanding what functions are available inside what in classic would be called spjs.utility. Additionally, customjs dffs specific actions like setFieldValue, getFieldValue, etc. which I know exist, but I’m wondering what else exists that I’m not currently aware of without digging into the code itself and looking.

That kind of stuff, because for me rules are great, but I end up doing a ton of advanced stuff within customjs and I find myself often just writing things in jQuery when you probably have a shortcut script that already handles it already that I could leverage.

I’m trying to think of something even more specific… ok so referring to a few of my notes here, it looks like I’ve written down some things missing from Modern DFFS that I’m accustomed to in Classic DFFS. Triggering a specific rule from within a customjs function appears to not be part of Modern DFFS yet. I don’t see it in the user manual, but correct me if I’m wrong.

[Travis Goodman]

Hey Alexander, I’m ramping up my development with modern DFFS and I’ll have a list of requests to send your way knowing they are probably on your to-do list anyway.

I want to ask something related to this, are there any plans (or is it even possible?) that we can instruct our DFFS installation on what lists we want DFFS to appear in the list menu for? That way for lists where we do not plan to implement DFFS, we can take advantage of the new list UI without having it disabled?

Alternatively, if there are plans to make DFFS play nice with the new UI, then this is moot.

Thanks!

[Travis Goodman]

Alexander, is there a reference sheet that has all the possible dffs functions that can be leveraged?

[Travis Goodman]

Thanks, I did have 2 items in there and I have deleted them. I now have the button to add/change license code again. However, the original issue is still coming up. I added my license code and it’s saying it’s not valid for the site collection. I’ll send you an email.

Hey Alexander, I didn’t want to create a new post for this, but I am also seeing an issue with the filter for vLookup.

Here’s my setup:

– Parent list with a column labeled _DFFSID
– Child list with a column labeled _vLookupProjectID
(this is also the FIN for both columns, I have verified that)
– In my parent list I am configuring the vLookup with the “select web” button to get the website and then selecting the child list in the dropdown.
– In the filter I have the following: _vLookupProjectID eq ‘[[fieldValue:_DFFSID]]’
– I save the editor and go to the actual form and it’s telling me “Column ‘_vLookupProjectID’ does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.”
– Note that in the “build the table” and “add new item” tabs I am able to select _vLookupProjectID in dropdowns to build the table and prefill the form, so it’s a valid column
– If I change the filter to use Title instead of _vLookupProjectID then it works perfectly fine. I don’t get it.

My hypothesis is that it’s related to the leading underscore being the problem. My theory lies in the fact that I created a different column that didn’t lead with the underscore, but the rest was the exact same. So it was vLookupProjectID and that one worked as well.

I have the latest version of modern DFFS installed. Take a look and tell me what you think.

[Travis Goodman]

This is on modern dffs 1.0.62.0 version – it’s been like this always though, not a new bug or anything.
