Youa re correct. I found out alerts were not enabled in our 2016 farm and if alerts need to work for the email to work then this makes sense why it isnt working.. I was not trying to send them outside of our farm however. Thanks again!
excellent! any ETA on that per chance. Not requesting a rush or anything. just curiosity is all. Again, I appreciate all the hard work.
It happens about every other time, without constant consistacny. sometimes immediately on load. I have tested multiple browsers with the same issue.
If it helps, there are many times i also go into the DFFS config, make a quick change and try to save and it tells me that the form has timed out and to refresh.
Finally, i also get the error, when trying to set a field value using the user profile values, it says “The user profile is not ready”. This rule is set on form load. Some context for this is that I am trying to pull manager name from the user profile on load. When it works, i get something like “i0#|membership|me@here.com”
so i am populating a text field on load and then wanting to run a function to remove the extra characters and then set a people field with the resulting email.
In the rules, it would be super cool if there was a “wait for the previous rule to finish” type selection as it seems sometimes they run so fast that they trip over each other.
I will send a screen shot when it happens and attaching the user profile error.

ok so this is a duh moment. apologies for wasting your time… of course that works fine. Thank you good sir.
So you are correct. a valued friend, much smarter than I, helped me out based on your suggestion.
For others looking into this. I would like to explain how I understand it.
My Current active list we will call “Source”
“Field1” is the parent field name
“Field2” is the Child field nameMy lookup list we will call “LookupList”
“Title” is the Parent field name
“Child” is the child field name“Source” list
“Field1” Properties
Render field as a dropdown = “Yes”
Display Name or GUID of source list = “LookupList”
Internal name of field you want to get options from = “Title”“Field2” Properties
Render field as a dropdown = “Yes”
Display Name or GUID of source list = “LookupList”
Internal name of field you want to get options from = “Child”
REST filter to get a subset of items for the source list = Title eq ‘[[fieldValue:Field1]]’Where “Title” is the internal field name of the parent field in the lookuplist and “Field1” is the internal name of the parent field in source or current list.
I hope this helps peeps!
Again, thank you ALex and friend for helping me understand this!
Really appreciate the response as we try to figure out the cascading. I have attempted to write the query as stated. Dropdown of L1 still not returning values. let me make certain i understand.
“L0” properties =
name of field you want to get your options from = “Title” (from source list, field internal name)
Render field as dropdown = YesL1 properties =
Name of field you want to get your values from = “RiskDriverTypeL0” (from source list, field internal name)
Render field as dropdown = yes
REST filter = RiskDriverTypeL1Name eq ‘[[fieldValue:RiskDriverTypeL0]]’Where RiskDriverTypeL1Name is the internal field name in the source list and RiskDriverTypeL0 is the field internal name of the field in current list where the first level cascade comes from
Expected out put is RiskDriverTypeL0 is the parent field and RiskDriverTypeL1Name is the child and filtered based on what i pick in the “L0” field.
I wanted to add a little bit here.
In the image attached, the first field returns the value just fine looking up to the field internal name of “Title” in the source list.
In the field properties of the second field, which should depend on the value of the first field, I place the field internal name of “Title” from the source list as its dependant.
It does not throw an error BUT the dropdown does not…drop down lol.
hope this helps

I absolutely cannot figure out how to implement this. I have loaded the app in my app catelog and that is as far as I seem to be able to get. I also cannot infd directions. Would someone be so great as to point me to directions? I found something that said to go to my default.aspx page but i do not have one in my site pages. If that measn the default home page it does not make sense. Am i supposed to create a default.aspx modern page? Any help is greatly appreciated!
I want to answer one way of doing this. Adding the following
.customTooltipIcon{float:right;}will move it to the right and align it. I am wondering if there is a way to move it to the left of the field label as well.
Yeah that was my go to lol but didn’t work.

I realized the above is gibberish…. Trying again.
I am using three images, one for each tab. I would like to know if I can use an image map around one of the words to navigate between tabs without the page refreshing.

Of course this worked…. I cant believe I didn’t try it. One last question on the topic. Keith and I were trying to figure out a way to use an image in place of the tabs which worked. Searching through the forums we were then trying to figure out how to use that image as a link.
Essentially, when you click on a standard tab in the form it does not require the page to be reloaded. If I use an image for each tab, I lose this ability. If I add a hyperlink it refreshes the page of course. My thought was to draw an image map over the clickable area but this will cause the page to reload as well.
Any ideas how one might use an image in each tab and still keep the navigation functionality that will not cause the page to reload upon clicking it?
As always, many thanks
If this has been suggested please ignore it.
It would be nice to have the ability to change the field labels. Currently, I use css to hide the .ms-formlabel and then add a row above the field to rename it. I realize I could rename the field after creating an internal field name but sometimes end users want a full blow sentence as a field label. I do not like these customers.
Second, it would be pretty cool to somehow add an “Else” statement in the rules. I understand I can create rules to have that affect but when I get upwards of 40-50 rules, having to write another rule to deal with an “else” statement can be tedious. An example might be something like below.
If field 1 is equal to “banana” then set field 2 to “fruit” Else set field 2 to “vegetable”
Currently to get that done I would need 2 rules but thinking that if the condition were false then at the bottom of the rule would be an else statement.
Cheers!
I know this is old but this kind of worked for me. I had to change all of the double quotes to single and I dropped it in the custom js in dffs.
$(spjs.dffs.fields[‘Field Internal Name you want to find and change‘]).find(‘td.ms-formlabel h3 nobr‘)[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue = ‘Field name you want changed to‘;
Hope that helps someone
