New form EditForm.aspx not automatically adjusting fields

Hi
I'm usig multiple content types in a document library. I need to adjust the EditForm.aspx, hence created an new edit form.
However when I come to edit the various documents (of differing content types) the form shows the same columns.
When the form was created using SPD there is a selection for which CT to use, how can this be ignored so it behaves like the orginal form?
Thanks

Hi Jones,
Please read the article below especially the part Multiple content type considerations:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/sharepoint-server-help/turn-on-support-for-multiple-content-types-in-a-list-or-library-HA010378236.aspx
QUOTE:
The fields that appear on a form are determined by the content type associated with that form, not by the list or library.
The document template that is used when creating a new document is specified by the content type, not the list or library.
Please provide more specific description about “original form” in your post. In EditForm page, the filed displays according to content type you select. If you would the drop-down selection of content type not show in the EditForm page, then what would you
like this page display as, that is why you would depict original form.
If you would like to show/hide some fields on the form page for different content type, try editing the content type column option Optional/required/hidden, see if it could meet the requirements.

Results from a form submission does not keep the fields in order when I get the email

I created a form and it works fine but when I get the email
back the fields are out of the tab order or out of wack meaning
they are not in order that I set the acceptabilities to.
Is this something in the Action script I have to add and what
would it look like or do I need to edit the CGI script?
I can provide a link or script let me know.
Thanks

This is action script 3.0 Flash CS3
Below is what I receive back after I test it but it is not in
order. I guess I assumed that if the tab order is correct and the
are layout in that order and the code in the form is in order it
would come back the same way. Mostly I am trying to narrow down the
problem and my guess is the cgi script or am I wrong? I have
attached the code for the form.
Thank You for you time

New computer - itunes will not automatically sync

I just got a new vista notebook. I copied my iTunes library from my xp notebook to my vista machine, using the instructions found on the apple support site. On my vista machine, when I open iTunes I can see my complete library, but when I uncheck items, they don't automatically sync with my Ipod. If I go to the ipod under Devices and click Synch, it will do it, but I want it to do it automatically like it used to.
BTW, I have "Only sych check items" checked and "Manually manage music and video" and "enable disk use" unchecked.
Please help -- I'm super frustrated!
Thanks!!

Try restoring your iPod. Just be aware that restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

Task List - Create New Form for Subtasks

Hi, Is this possible to create a new form for SubTasks in SharePoint 2013 task List
probably using Infopath. Out of Box, Sharepoint opens datasheet view to add the subtask for a main task. just want to know whether it is possible.
Any help will be highly appreciated
Ram Sharma

Hi Ram,
Per my understanding, you want to create a New Form for creating sub tasks.
By default, the subtasks can only be created in the datasheet view, which means that there are some fields of a task cannot be filled in when subtask created, what’s
more, there is no OOTB feature can meet this requirement.
Actually, a subtask is also a normal task, the difference is that it can be connected with the parent task through a property “ParentID”. Let’s say if there is a task
with “ID” 1, then the “ParentID” of its subtasks will be “1;#1”.
Thus, as a workaround, you can create a custom New Form page with the extra “ParentID” field to be filled in. After submitting, a new task will be created, because
the “ParentID” has a value which points to another task, this new task will be a subtask now. This can be done with Client Object Model programmatically.

Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive

Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive...I moved my catalog and photos to shared drive so that all users can access and when I moved photos within parent folder lightroom did not automatically adjust like in video I watched. I had to manually locate. Is there a fix for this?

I haven't watched that video, but if you move photos in your operating system ... Lightroom does NOT automatically find these photos. Finding photos that have been moved is NOT a feature of Lightroom. So, there is no fix for this.
You would have to tell Lightroom where the photos are now located, as explained in the link from 99jon
If you must move photos, move them inside of Lightroom, not in your operating system, or better yet — don't move them, and use Lightroom tools such as keywords and other metadata to achieve organization.

EditForm.aspx Save button prompts user to open/save document.

Hi,
Here is the senerion where i am working on.I am saving a document to a sharepoint 2010 document library from an windows user control and soon after saving i am redirecting that saved document to editform.aspx so that metadata can be applied
to that document.But when i am trying to save the document form editform.aspx it is prompting to open/save the document to the hard disk.
so my question is how can i override the save functionality in editform.aspx of an sharepoint document library so that it should't prompt to open/save document.

I know this is very old and I had a similar issue with creating an upload button for a client.
<div class="ms-uploadbtnlink">
<button onclick="javascript:window.location='http://adventureworks.com/_layouts/Upload.aspx?List={05D72EF7-0026-48C2-BE40-464B7F30CA21}&RootFolder='" type="button">
<nobr>
<img alt="Upload a Document" src="/_layouts/Images/uploaddoc.png"/>
<span>Upload a Document</span>
</nobr>
</button>
</div>
I tried everything listed here and nothing worked. Opening the upload form in a dialogue solved my issue.
Here's the updated code:
<div class="ms-uploadbtnlink">
<button type="button" id='upload-vendor-doc'>
<nobr>
<img alt="Upload a Document" src="/_layouts/Images/uploaddoc.png"/>
<span>Upload a Document</span>
</nobr>
</button>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function openModalDialog(modalUrl, width, height) {
var options = SP.UI.$create_DialogOptions();
options.height = parseInt(height);
options.width = parseInt(width);
options.url = modalUrl;
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
var URL = "http://adventureworks.com/accounting/VI/_layouts/Upload.aspx?List={05D72EF7-0026-48C2-BE40-464B7F30CA21}&RootFolder=";
document.getElementById("upload-vendor-doc").onclick = function() {
openModalDialog(URL, 800, 1000);
</script>
Hope that helps someone.

Fields on new form - Page _ of _ - not displaying

Can someone please advise? I have a new form that is populated through upload of an XML. All of the data displays on the form except the Page # and the total pages. These fields were copied from another form that does correctly display the pages. A comparison in LC shows the field properties are the same. Help?

Hi,
When you drag a Page n of m object onto the form, the data binding is set to none. Instead the two hidden objects contain script that sets the page numbers.
I suspect that you have copied the visible portion of the three objects and have not copied the hidden fields.
Best thing would be to delete what you have and drag a new Page n of m object onto the page.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Error while adding content type fields in the EditForm.aspx for an customlist item.

This is office 365. I have content type which is attached to custom list.
Added new site column "CustomerAction" which was added to Content type, now when I added this field in the EDITForm.aspx using the SharePoint designer, this form is called when the custom list item is being edited.
But when I added this extra field to EDITFORM.aspx it is giving error,. the standard correlationid error.
Can anyone suggest, what could be problem !
Thanks
Labhesh
Labhesh Shrimali

Hi Labhesh,
When we add the site column to the content type, there is an option to update the all
content types which inheriting from this type.
If we set this to Yes, then the site column will be added to the list where the content type or its child content type has been used and this column will be added to the EDITFORM.aspx too.
So we don’t need to re-add this site column to EDITFORM.aspx.
Thanks,
Victoria

How to create new form fields in several columns (spreadsheet) and have them named consecutively?

Hopefully someone can help. I created a new form from an Excel spreadsheet, but the form field recognition didn't "take" well and very little of the spreadsheet translated into form fields. I need to create new fields (31) for each column (about 10) and I want the fields in each column to have a keyword from the parent column and the fields numbered consecutively. I'm really hoping I don't have to do this manually!
Next, is there a way to total the values in a column of fields (the same as the SUM function in Excel?) or does the form user have to dig out a calculator and add everything?
Can I create an email (submit) button and direct how (ie email) and by what method the form is sent?
Once the form is completed, is there a way for the user to lock it before sending it - ie a button they could press to make it no longer fillable? Or can I set the document to be a regular .pdf once it leaves the host machine?
I think that's it! Hopefully someone can help soon - this is a work project that could be potentially very time consuming if I have to create each form field manually. Thank you for any assistance!
Cheers,
LostintheNorth

Rats! Thank you for your link - I may take you up on that... however for the purposes of this form I'm more than halfway done, so I might as well keep plugging away. A workaround I found was to creat 32 of something I only need 31 of, then delete the parent. Somehow even playing with spacing on the "create multiple fields" option as the fields are being created only gets the vertical alignment close - no matter what I do I still end up manually aligning (vertically) 31 little boxes for each column so they fit visually. Grrrr.
Yes, this can be very tricky. If you don't get the exact right offset between each field, the difference will accumulate and after a while it will be completely off.
You just have to play around with it, until you get it right. Or almost right, and then adjust it manually.
Another thing I've noticed, is that when you select one field and right click for properties, you get an expanded version, as opposed to select/shift/enter for a bunch of cells only yields an abbreviated properties box - what's up with that? Is there a way to change this? For instance, I had set the properties for a column of 31 cells to be number, 1 decimal place. Halfway through my project, the lady I am doing the favor for tells me she would like 2 decimal places, requiring me to manually change each box for 62 cells! Apparently cell formatting is not an option in the abreviated properties dialogue! Is there a fix for that?
No, there isn't. Some propeties you have to set manually (or get right the first time, before copying and pasting...). There is a way to do it with a script, but it's a bit complex and requires using an undocumented method.
This next question is a bit more complicated, and may not be possible. The form I am creating is for payroll purposes, so at the moment it is generic (31 days) and the user fills in the month manually. Is it possible to get the form to recognize a month value (or create a pulldown menu with a selection of months to choose from) and limit the days accordingly? Or better yet, run a calendar function so that weekends and stat holidays are highlighted on the affected row? Kind of like what you can do with an Excel spreadsheet, which is what I designed the form in at the start (then printed to .pdf - the form field recognition did NOT work well on my spreadsheet! hence me doing every cell manually). Is this even possible, and if so, is it something I could learn to do?
Yeah, it's possible, but requires quite a bit of scripting knowledge. If you wish, contact me personally (by PM or email at try6767 at gmail dot com) and I could possibly create this for you.
If you want to do it yourself, you would have to learn a lot about both the Date object in JS and about the various date printing and scanning methods in Acrobat JS.

How to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx?

Dear SharePoint Developers,
Please help.
I need to know How to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx?
I think this is a "sealed column", whatever that is, which is shown in SPD 2013 as a column of content type "document, folder, MyCustomContentType".
I know when I set the column order in my custom Content Type settings page, it is correct.
But, when I load the NewDocSet.aspx page, the column order that I set in the settings page is NOT used for this "sealed column" which is bad.
Can you help?
Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx.
Per my knowledge, if you have Content Type management enabled for the list or library (if you see a list of content type with the option to add more), the display order of columns is set for each content type.
Drill down into one of them and you'll see the option under the list of columns for that content type.
To apply the column order in the NewDocSet.aspx page, you need to:
Select Site Settings, under Site Collection Administration, click Content type publishing. In the Refresh All Published
Content Types section, choose Refresh all published content types on next
update.
Run two timer jobs(Content Type Hub, Content Type Subscriber) in central admin(Central Administration--> Monitoring--> Review timer jobs).

Updated Acrobat and now Javascript calculations not working in new forms.

I had created forms for my work that allowed me to calculate back dates from a given date to instruct the form users when components of a project were due. Below is the script I used- I am NOT a programmer and this was taken from another forum. It has worked successfully for 2 years in both Acrobat 9 & 10 and in various forms I have made.
var strStart = this.getField("0VendorArtApproved-2wk").value;
if(strStart.length)
var dateStart = util.scand("mmm d, yyyy",strStart);
var oneDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
var dueMillis = dateStart.getTime() - 21 * oneDay;
var dueDate = new Date(dueMillis);
event.value = util.printd("mmm d, yyyy",dueDate);
else
event.value = "NA";
"0VendorArtApproved-2wk" is the field the previous date was taken from- this and the amount of days "- 21" changes from field to field. This form has 3 levels that it calulates dates from- which starts with a single initial date entered into a text box by the user. This allowed the user to see when different elements of a project were due. Sorry if this seems basic to all the Javascript masters but I am really very clueless on prgramming speak and only know what I have read from forums.
The last version of the form that worked successfully was in Oct 13', I went to create a new form and copied these formula boxes to a new form and now half of them do no work.
I have rechecked my formulas and formatting and cannot find and issue. They are exactly the same. One works and one does not. The only thing I can see different from the 2 forms is that I am certain there were 1 or 2 updates to the Acrobat software itself that could possibly have caused an issue.
So I have 2 documents- 1 created in October 13' that works and one created today Jan 14' that does not work. They have the same formulas.
Anyone aware of changes to Acrobat or errors in my formula that could have caused this? I am in version 10.1.9

Applied this fix. There was an error in the NEW document. I redid the formulas in the NEW document and that did not work. Still had the same problem.
SO I went back and redid the formulas in the fields in the OLD document to the revision I needed and that worked. All I was trying to do was tweak the number of days between one element and the next in this area and there were a bunch of other revisions to the form so I figured it was easier to start fresh. I will just make all the revisions to the OLD document- which will be a lot of work, but at least my formulas are working. Not an ideal fix but something must have been glitchy in the new document and I now have a workable form.
I believe some kind of odd interaction happened when I copy and pasted the fields from document to another.
Thank you so much for your help! I am days away from maternity leave so I had to get this figured out fast!

How to change the width of the EditForm.aspx and NewForm.aspx for both new and edited list entries?

How to change the form widths for the EditForm.aspx and NewForm.aspx files that display both new and edited list entries?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to modify the width of the New Form and Edit Form of a list in SharePoint 2010 .
1.Go to your SharePoint site -> your list.
2.In top ribbon click List tab(List Tools).
3.Towards right you will see option as Form Web Parts, click on it, the three forms will be listed there [New Form, Display Form, Edit Form].
4.Select the one on which you want to increase the width/height.
5.It will open in edit mode, click on Add a Web Part.
6. Click on Forms [Categories] => HTML Form Web Part.
7.After adding the HTML Form Web Part, click on Edit WebPart.
8.Click on Source Editor, Remove all code from it and put an empty HTML table with width and height as per your requirement ex. to increase width
<TABLE WIDTH="800px">
<TR><TD></TD></TR>
</TABLE>
9.Save the form and check out your respective modal by clicking on the same in your list view.

Tabular Form - new row at top not working

I'm trying to add a new row to the top of a tabular form (not manual) vs the bottom using Denes example - http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:215 but it's not working. I absolutely need the records to sort on the date and time, but when I add a hidden column and sort it in descending order, then sort the date and time both in descending order, it doesn't sort correctly. I tried using the primary key field of the table as the hidden column, sorting nulls first, but the new record opens at the bottom (If I have "sorting nulls first" selected and at the time a new row is added the primary key field is null, why doesn't the new row open at the top?). I added a new field (date field with timestamp) to the query, then deselected "show" in the column attributes...that didn't work. I then selected "show", and changed the tabular form element display as to "Hidden", but then I got an error when I clicked "Add New", and I also added a column to my query via apex_item.hidden but no luck there either. What's the best way to go about this, but still maintain the date and time sort?
Thank you,
Tammy

We did that. It didn't resolve it...
Also, I compared the images directory from the complete apex 4.1.1. installation and compared it to patch 13331096 (latest 4.1.1 patch). They are identical.
Any other ideas I can try out?
