Add user-entered "Fill-In" values for "Choice" column to the list of available choices?

I have a "Choice" column in SharePoint where users need to select a name for a specific engagement when uploading a document. Since new engagements come up all the time, they need to be able to enter a new value and have that value available
to select as a Choice from the list the next time they upload a document. Is this possible in SharePoint?
Our organization does not allow custom code using Visual Studio, but I do have access to SharePoint Designer.

Hello!
All available choices are specified in the list's schema. I.e. the "Choice" column is designed to operate with predefined values that are set in the schema. Of course, you can every time add a new choice to the list's schema programmatically, but that's a worst
practice.
In your case I suggest to add a list (kind of dictionary) containing all values available to pick out. Then, instead of "Choice" column, use "Lookup" column which points to the dicitionary-list. Once a new value is entered, add a new list item to the dictionary.
Next time this value will be available to pick out.

Constraint based on existing values for a column in the table

I have a table as follows
create table MS_FAV_ACCT
NICKNAME VARCHAR2(50) not null,
ACCOUNT VARCHAR2(6) not null,
SUB_ACCOUNT VARCHAR2(3) not null,
DETAIL VARCHAR2(4) not null,
ICID VARCHAR2(3) not null,
SEGMENT VARCHAR2(2) not null,
PRIMARY_ACCT VARCHAR2(1) not null
I want to have a constraint such that there can be only one row with PRIMARY_ACCT ='Y' there could be multiple rows with value 'N'.
I have put a CHECK constraint on this column to check for values Y or N but I want to be able to check this condition too that only one row can have PRIMARY_ACCT as Y .
I saw a thread on this forum regarding using UNIQUE INDEX with case when but didnt understand how I could use it in my case.
Could anyone please help?

You only want to have 1 row in the table with an identifier of 'Y'?
That is what i understood, in which case you can use something like this.
ME_XE?create table MS_FAV_ACCT
2 (
3     NICKNAME VARCHAR2(50) not null,
4     ACCOUNT VARCHAR2(6) not null,
5     SUB_ACCOUNT VARCHAR2(3) not null,
6     DETAIL VARCHAR2(4) not null,
7     ICID VARCHAR2(3) not null,
8     SEGMENT VARCHAR2(2) not null,
9     PRIMARY_ACCT VARCHAR2(1) not null
10 );

Pro*C & SQLDA with NULL value for predicate column

Hi: I am using a C program to update a table via a dynamic sql (method 4) and SQLDA. In the update statement predicate, I have place holders (as in TBLCOL=:C000). One of the columns in the predicate contains null values, so I set L[n] = 0, V[n] = pData (which pData[0] = '\0'), *(I[n]) = -1, and T[n] = 5 (for text). I cannot find the row that I know is there.
I cannot change my statement to contain TBLCOL IS NULL, since I don't know ahead of time if I'm looking for rows with null values for this column. The Pro*C manual says that by setting the appropriate *(I[n]) = -1, it indicates to Oracle to simulate the "IS NULL" clause, and update the appropriate rows. In my case, I receive 1403 as SQLCODE when I use TBLCOL=:C000 vs TBLCOL IS NULL. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help.

You should include these columns as well;
ChangeType (see mxi_changetype)
ValOwner (repository)
UserID ("jobid=<>", usermskey, GUI (mmc), DG (dyngrp), reconcile)
IdAudit (This is the event task (add and del member for assignments)
ParentAuditId (AuditID of parent which last updated the attribute, not consistent)
ChangedBy (Holds the MSKEY of the user which last changed the attribute)
ExpiryTime
to make sure you get a fuller picture of the audit record.

Encountering Error in webadi : "&Value is invalid. Enter a valid value for the Mapping column &Column"

We are having a custom WebADI, containing a field (Employee Name) which is a LOV.
The LOV has ID : Person ID, Meaning : Employee name, Description : Position Name.
There are multiple records with same Employee name but different Person ID.
If I select an Employee in the LOV which has multiple records (through different IDs), I am getting an error in WebADI:
"Enter a valid EMPLOYEE_NAME.
XX is invalid. Enter a valid value for the Mapping column EMPLOYEE_NAME"
The Query for the LOV is correct and is returning correct records.
Any pointers on this issue highly appreciated.

The query works fine in Dev , but in Quality it shows the following error
A database error occured. The database error text is: Error in MDDataSetBW.GetCellData. Please enter a valid value for characteristic 0FISCPER.. (WIS 10901)
The universe is on BW Query and the BW Query works fine.

Thanks Sathish for your input.
We have created report level prompts and facing this issue because we were selecting multiple values for prompts.
Its working fine for single selection. Is there any way to enable multi selection for the particular object at the BW end ?
Or else we have to create the prompts (Single selection) at the universe level.

Default value for a column in Table Control

Hi friends, can i set dinamcally a default value for a column in table control?, this column is check type. This default value must appear in empty rows,
thanks

ADD A MODULE AS Module yyyy In ur PAI.
as
In PAI.
LOOP at itab.
Module YYYY
ENDLOOP.
Module YYYY.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF SCREEN-NAME = 'ITAB-VAL.
      ITAB-VAL = 'XXXXXXXX'        "(DEFAULT VALUE)
      SCREEN-INPUT = 0.
      MODIFY SCREEN.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
End module.
*note
make this event work only if the previous column is filled okay.
the display will be in display mode on the screen as screen-input = 0.
see that in the table control u can get the table field for all the rows even though you are processing on some fields .
so what u do is make that particular filed masked(no i/p field and populate the field that will be better instead of populating all the columns okay.
hope this helps you out ,

How to set default values for boolean columns

I'm trying to deploy some content types and columns into a site with a feature. All it's ok, except that I'm trying to set a default value for boolean columns with no success.
I've tried to set default value at column level:
<Field ID="{EFE23A1D-494E-45cf-832E-45E41B17F0CF}" Name="ScopeSpanish" DisplayName="Se publican noticias en español"
Type="Boolean" Hidden="FALSE" Group="Columnas ShaCon" >
<Default>TRUE</Default>
</Field>
and at content type level:
<FieldRef ID="{EFE23A1D-494E-45cf-832E-45E41B17F0CF}" Name="ScopeSpanish" DefaultValue="TRUE" Required="TRUE" />
But in any case, when i create a new item with this content type, default value is applied.
Can anyone tell how to set default values for boolean columns?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sergio

In the field definition you can set
<Default>1</Default>
or
<Default>0</Default>

Can i use one JSF component's value for other component in the same page.

Can i use one JSF component's value for other component in the same page.
For example
I have a <h:selectBooleanCheckbox id="myChk"> in my jsf page, i want to access its value for another component like:
<h:commandButton disabled="#{myChk.checked}" action="myAction" value="myValue" />
** "myChk.checked" >> I am just asuming "checked" property is available...

Bind the checkbox to a UIInput myChk property. Then you can reference this property from the page, e.g.
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox binding="#{myBean.myChk}" onchange="submit();" />
<h:commandButton disabled="#{myBean.myChk.value}" action="myAction" value="myValue" />

Default Value for a column in matrix

Hi,
How to set default value for a column in matrix which is of type combo(Yes/No).
The cell has combo in it
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
The column is set as combo. Now you need to tell SBO what constituates a Y or N. In my example my Column "Col6" must display Yes if the RENTED column = 1 and No if the RENTED column = 0. (I'm obviously using a datasource to tie the data to the matrix)
oMatrix = frm.Items.Item("YourMatrixID").Specific
        oColumns = oMatrix.Columns
oColumn = oColumns.Item("Col6")
        oColumn.DataBind.SetBound(True, "@VIDEO", "U_RENTED")
        oColumn.ValOn = "1"
        oColumn.ValOff = "0"

Setting default values for a column

Hi,
I have a table having some default values for the columns. I am using a PreparedStatment to insert into this table. For null values I am using setNull(..) method but the default values given for the columns are not inserted for null values.
eg: INSERT INTO TEST VALUES(?,?);
where TEST table contains two columns col1 and col2 with default values 'AA' and 'BB' respectively. My requirement is to make sure that when null values are specified for the columns then the database default should be picked up. using setNull(..) method doesn't help.
Thanks in advance.
Gyan

Default value for a column can be picked up from DatabaseMetaData class.
The below snippet shows that: -
DatabaseMetaData metaData = connection.getMetaData();
ResultSet resultSet = metaData.getColumns(null, null, "TEST", "COL%");
while ( resultSet.next() )
String defaultValue = resultSet.getString("COLUMN_DEF");
String datatype = resultSet.getString("DATA_TYPE");
System.out.println("defaultValue = " + defaultValue);
System.out.println("datatype = " + datatype);
}

Why is it when I enter a birthday date for a contact as the 12th of November 1993 that the birthday appears as the 11th of November and as the 19th birthday rather than the correct 20th?

Yoor post is very confusing. AOL's iPad magazine is called "Editions" and it's free. "The Daily" is put out by TheDailyHolding and is owned by Rupert Murdoch. You've already posted in another thread where the solution was given. Other people seem to have manged to get unsubscribed.
Best of luck.
