That’s great news, thanks! I use the password on all configs, but didn’t know license is only visible to person that added it. That’s great!
Yeah, that’s not showing for me at all. I’ve attached a screenshot of what I get on our VPN.
Is it still sourced within Google Drive/Docs? If so, I think that’s the root of the issue. I’m still getting the error “Couldn’t Preview File – You may be offline or with limited connectivity. Try downloading instead.”
Download doesn’t work either. If I disconnect from corporate VPN I can get around this.
Hi Alexander, I’m back in the office and just now getting to check on forums. Are you planning on extending the trial license at all, or do I need to contact you to figure out my licensing situation?
Thanks!
Hi Alexander, here is my EARLY feedback, but I have a lot more I am still working through. This is just my initial thoughts. Things have been extremely busy so finding time to test has been problematic, but I’m trying! I have some very complex stuff I hope to get to very soon that might fast track your development if we catch the hard stuff early.
Anyway, here it goes:
– On datetime columns where width is 12 columns and time is included, put date and time all on single line. It puts hours and minutes on a second line and things are spread out a mile long unnecessarily.
– Ability to name a row in the config so you can at a glance tell what content is in there (and perhaps create rules based on the rows name for visibility)
– Ability to load a JS file prior to excuting custom JS (or adding a JS file to the root of the DFFS that would load to all forms like in classic DFFS)
– Ability to load a CSS file prior to custom CSS (or similar functionality as stated above, something that gets loaded from the core install that would load to all forms)
– Documentation on what actions can be triggered programmatically with spjs in customJS
– Perhaps I’m not using it right, but the buttons that appear along the top for add row/column, tabset, html, grid, etc. do not do anything when clicked.
– Create similar option as label position to allow for label styling outside of custom css. Simple options like bold and maybe providing a hex code for color.
– Ability to copy rule
– Create rules based on result of a preceeding rule
– WOULD LOVE TO HAVE FOR CASCADING DROPDOWNS >>> I know CCDD is not available yet, but just throwing this out there for early development. If there is a break in the cascade, but there are still more columns to cascade after, then keep it moving.
Example: VP, AVP, Director, Manager is my cascade. Let’s say an employee has a VP, AVP, but no Director, but does have a Manager. So there’s a break at Director, how can we resolve that so it just accepts the blank value and keeps things moving?Hope this feedback finds you well, and I plan on providing a lot more! Especially any issues I find in development. I’ll be reaching out to you soon to discuss how I can obtain similar licensing in Modern as I have now in Classic, as well as the donations I’ve already promised. I haven’t forgotten!
Congratulations! By the end of this month, I will have a full post available with my feedback and any issues I’ve run into. Yet to determine how best to format it all, but excited to share. Love your work, and I’ll be sending a tip over to you real soon!
Thanks for posting this! I keep falling behind on my testing due to increased workload, but I really hope to dive into it this month and provide some meaningful feedback to you.
Hi Alexander, is the license extended in the new update? I ran out of my trial license, and then here in the US we had a long weekend for a federal holiday so I didn’t get to finish all my testing.
Excited to explore this more!
Hi Alexander, I’m behind on my testing. Always something that pops up. Here’s my status and thoughts so far:
Got the modern forms package added and installed. Note, I ran into this, so you’ll want to add it to your instructions, if you have classic DFFS installed, you need to go to your DFFS Installer page and have it uninstall classic DFFS from the list you want to use modern on.
The user interface in the limited time I’ve gotten to mess with it is fantastic. I am loving the grid system for responsiveness, and if you recall my assistance with the classic DFFS responsive code, this is always what I was trying to accomplish.
One thing I will suggest, you have the top bar frozen to the top which is great! I would recommend adding the “Preview form (rules are not evaluated) to that same frozen top. Right now on the Formbuilder tab, if I’m scrolled all the way at the bottom, I have to scroll all the way to the top to click that preview. Very minor, but a quality of life improvement in that regard.
Also, on formbuilder, loving the layout. Can it be configured so that as I’m building the form, I can collapse rows? That way if a row is set and I don’t want to mess with it and don’t need to see it, I can collapse it so that it doesn’t take up a ton of real estate?
For rules, I have not gotten this far yet to create my rules and test them. I’ll have some feedback for sure as I have some extremely complex rules in some lists I will try to replicate. I understand you won’t have full compatibility yet, and that’s totally understandable. One thing that stood out was that there’s no trigger that is for “on change” only. It’s either for “Form load” or “Form load AND form change”. Some things I want to trigger only on change.
I also saw in another comment that you are no longer doing auto-reversing of rules. I am actually ok with this, but I will have to un-learn it lol. I’m so used to it over the years, and it took me a long time to get used to it, but it’s probably for the best. With the “If Yes/If No” sections, it shouldn’t be a problem for most people going forward to do their own “reversing”.
Hi Alexander, I’m working on getting a sandbox site collection stood up for testing this out for you. You can look up my existing license to see the corporation I work for, I’m going to put this thing through the wringer for you and do as exhaustive testing as I possibly can.
You have no idea how much your work is appreciated, and you continue to deliver. Keep up the great work!
