URGENT: Creating LIST item during design time.

Hi All,
Is it possible to create LIST item [with MultiSelect option] during design time. The Developer guide has only programmatic implementation. So, Please let me know, whether its possible or not.
Thanks.

Yes, it has to be done programatically only. There is no property in the Property pallet to do this declaratively as of now.

  • How does sharepoint designer create list item work ?.

    I'am using office 365, and sharepoint-designer (not the pro designer).
    There is a workflow rule that allows for creating items in another list.
    What i need to do is that if someone creates an entry in List A
    That List B gets an update too, based upon List A, and also a 4th list entry of list C (ea string containing "life cycle start").
    The workflow with the "rule create item in list", i've set to "start automatically when a new item is created".
    So far i've not been able to make it work, and the workflow Always suspends with vague errors, and since it is hosted i cannt do much with the errors.
    Could therefore anyone point me to a good youtube explaining this  function.
    Or might possible point out what often goes wrong when people use this.
    Maybe give some examples

    Yeeha !!!
    I got the first part working now; recap of howto:
    First of all, before you create lists and columns write it down on paper, so you will be sure about what names you will give them, as renaming these kinds of things later,  will only rename their view but not their old internal name, and as a result you
    will get lost if you want to automate stuff later on.
    So have you design ready (or in my case; delete current wrong site and start over clean).
    Recap :
    Using SharePoint designer:
    Create List A, use titles as the field to enter product names (or whatever item you like to registrate).
    Use the web browser:
    Goto List A you just made and set the title column to contain (required) unique index names.
    You can do this as Admin through list setting in the list top ribbon.
    Create List B using Sharepoint designer (simple list)
    In List B create a Lookup list to List A
    And select it so that you would like to see the title column in it.
    Using the web brouwser, make this column a required field (will become a (*) mark later).
    Using SharePoint designer, select list A.
    Select properties of List A, create a new (basic) workflow for it.
    Here you would assume that you need to get the title in List B, but that's wrong
    What one needs to get in List B a new to the current added Item in List A is the following:
    Note that the workflow will run under the context of new Items who are added to List A
    Create an action rule "Create list item" in the following list, and here select List B
    The pop will show you some fields marked with a (*) as required fields.
    Now the tricky thing is that is a reference to List A, and not a string.
    So you might think its a GUID then or so, but no wrong again.
    To get the link to the current List item A inside B.
    You will have to link it to  "Current Item"   (remember the workflow started from list A )
    And from the Current Item, you have to select the "ID" property.
    Apparently ID is internally used as a reference.
    Now whenever you create an Item in list A, it will be created in List B as well as a linked reference.
    So for example in A you could add more columns, like serial ID or creation time of article A.
    Then you don't have to add these into List B, as when people click on the hyperlink in List B they will be shown the details from list A.

  • How to add values dynamically for custom property during design time?

    I am trying to create a user control with custom properties. I have a property named Server.
    And Values for this property is system dependent. I have the code that can generate the values and is working fine.
    During the design time, when I include this control in my application, and type the property name, I want Visual Studio to prompt for the values. Like it
    does for Alignment property for some controls shows Left, Right, Center.. during design time.
    If the Values are static, I can use an enum and it works fine. I need help with dynamic values.

    You can't, afaik.
    It's either an enum or you don't get that functionality of values.
    There is no right left centre, "Towards the top right but just off centre" - which I just thought of... option for example.
    Hope that helps.

  • The Create List Item workflow action does not work in document library with document template

    My end goal is more complex but below is a basic example of the issue I’m having that just simply does not work.
    I'm trying to use a site workflow to create an item in a document library that has a document template applied to it but the file that gets created by the workflow is corrupt and cannot be opened.
    I created a document library and edited the document template by adding some text to the header and changing it to a Word docx file instead of a Word dotx file. I tested the document template by clicking the files tab in the ribbon and then clicking new
    document which opens the document template in Word and allows me to edit and save the document back to SharePoint. Then I created a SharePoint 2013 site workflow in SharePoint Designer that contains a single Create List Item action, and that action creates
    an item in the document library with the name field statically defined. I published the workflow and then manually start it on the site. The workflow completes successfully and when I navigate to the document library the document has been created by the workflow.
    When I click on the document to open it in the Word Web App it throws the error pictured below and if I open it in the Word client application it just opens a blank document and not the correct document template.
    I also tried using a SharePoint 2010 workflow with pretty much the same results. Opening the document in Word Web App gives the same error as above and opening the document in the Word client application gives the error pictured below.
    Come on Microsoft creating a Word Document in a SharePoint Document Library from a SharePoint Workflow should just work! Is this a bug or does anyone have any ideas on what is causing the this issue?

    I had the same problem with corrupted document - this worked for me:
    1. Create a 2010 Workflow which creates the list element in a document library
    (you may start this workflow from your 2013 workflow if applicable)
    2. In the Create New List Item properties - make sure to set ContentTypeId to your content type
    ("Id for indholdstype" is Danish for "Contenttype ID")
    3. Your Content Type template should be a ".docx" file - NOT a ".dotx" file...!
    (I have always created my templates for content types as .dotx files - seems Microsoft wants us to use ordinary .docx files as template files for content types)
    Hope this helps you!

  • How to create list items with multiple attachment files using rest api javascript

    In one of user form I am using javascript rest api to create a list item with multiple attachment files. So far I am able to create list item and once created uploading an attachment file. But this is two step process first create an item and then upload
    a file.
    It create an additional version of the item which is not desired. Also I am not able find a way to attach multiple files in a go. Following is the code I am using.
    createitem.executeAsync({
                    url: "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('UserForm')/items(1)/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='" + aFile.name + "')",
                    method: "POST",
                    contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
                    headers: {
                        "Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
                        "X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
                    binaryStringRequestBody: true,
                    body: fileContent,
                    success: fnsuccess,
                    error: fnerror
    So somehow I need to combine item attributes along with attachment files in body: param. I visited https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn531433.aspx#bk_ListItem but no success.
    Appreciate any help.

    Thanks Mahesh for the reply and post you share it was useful.
    But this does not solve the core of the issue. You are uploading attachments after creation of item and multiple files are being attached in loop. This is kind of iterative update to an existing item with attachments. This will end up creating multiple versions. 
    What I am trying to achieve is to create an item along with multiple attachments in a go. No item updates further to attach a file.
    Please suggest how this can be done in one go. SharePoint does it when one creates an item with multiple attachment.
    Thanks for your reply.

  • Create List Item using SharePoint 2010 Workflow

    Hello everyone.
    I found in youtube video using SP Employee Onboarding Web Part, idea is quite simple and powerful. But this web part available only in SP 2013, and I use 2010. So I wanted to develop my own version.
    Questions is:
    I have 2 lists Employee OnBoards (list contains data about new employee) and Employee OnBoards Tasks (list contains approval task). Where field Employee Name from Employee OnBoards list is lookup field in Employee OnBoards Tasks list.
    I need emplement next:
    When new Item created in Employee OnBoards list, it should copy Employee Name value to the Name field of the Employee OnBoards Tasks list.
    I hope I explained understandable.
    Thanks.

    Hi Azamat,
    This you can do by using SharePoint Designer workflow.
    Create a sharepoint designer workflow and invoke that when new item will create in the list Employee
    OnBoards.
    then use Copy List item action to copy employee name to employee on board task list.
    Below link will help you how to use copy list item action in a workflow.

  • SharePoint: Workflow to retrieve all users and Create list item record for each user

    Hi all,
    My share point site have two Lists as Holidays and MyCalender.
    Actually Holiday is simple non-Calender list with field as Holiday Date, Reason. MyCalender List Calender type list with Person Look-up column and user can see his own record. User of Manager group will declare holiday. This Holiday should get reflected
    on each user 's MyCalender List.[One listitem as holiday date and reason for each user] so everyone can view that record.
    I have requirement as Manager will create one Holiday record and then run single workflow so for all users present in SharePoint Site, one MyCalender List Item record should get created. Is it possible to do using Workflow?? Please help as I didn't get any
    solution for this.. Thanks in advance!

    You don't need one workflow per user when a filtered view can do this for you.  If the manager's list is the parent calendar, I'm assuming that he'll be at least using the person look-up column.
    Whether this feeds through the MyCalendar or stays where it is, you can use the [Me] parameter within the filter on a new view.  This will then return the assigned holiday filtering against the account that is logged in.

  • Create list item in sharepoint online list throws error in iPhone

    Hi all :
    I have got a piece of JS code where I am creating multiple list items. So first I am creating an Expense item and then each of the expense line item( 5 of those ) in a different list. It creates the Expense item successfully and then when it tries to
    create the line items, I am getting the following error :
    Request failed. Unexpected response from server. null
    However when I go to the line items list, I can see all the items being created!!! I am also inserting my code below.

    function (sender, args) {
        alert('Expense creation failed');                
    The outermost executeQueryAsync creates the Expense item and on being successful, I create the line items.
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks and regards,
    developer_melbourne

    Ok so I resolved the issue and thought to provide the answer. It was caused by the line where it is doing redirection using window.location.replace. Somehow it works in IE, not in Safari in iPhone.
    Anyways you can do the redirection after all the items get created in the last success  method of the last item creation OR you can use deferred/promise of jQuery to achieve the same.
    Thanks

  • SPD 2013 Workflow - Create list item with people picker in other site collection

    Hi all,
    I read a lot of blogs and forum posts the last couple of days, but I seem to be stuck as to why my workflow is not working as expected - thus, I thought I would ask the experts :-)
    Setup:
    2 lists in 2 different site collections
    http://svr-url/servicedesk/tickets
    http://svr-url/projects/requests
    SharePoint 2013 on Prem
    I try to create a SPD 2013 workflow that creates a new item in list "requests" once a certain trigger is set in list "tickets". One of the fields I need to copy is the requestor = People picker field.
    I did a web service call with a REST call to create a list item. All works well as long as I just stick to Title and other text fields, but filling in the "Requestor" fails with "Bad request".
    I learned I need to use the "RequestorID" field and in a blog I read I need to put in the user id as Int32. So I set the parameters in the dictionary to integer. Still I get "bad request".
    Another issue: as I have lists from 2 site collections, the user id differs for the same user.
    /servicedesk: ID = 9
    /projects: ID = 22
    Additionally, the possibility exists that the user I try to set is not already existent in the /projects user information list.
    How can I deal with that?

  • Create list item in parent site when list item is created in child site?

    SharePoint online - Can I create a list item in a parent site when a new list item is created in child site? Possible with workflows?

    Hi Shafaqat,
    From your description, my understanding is that you want to create a list item in the parent site when a new item is created in the subsite via workflow.
    Per my knowledge, there is no OOTB workflow action to achieve your requirement. I suggest you develop your own workflow activity to do it, or you can try to find a third party workflow solution to do it.
    Here is an article about how to create a custom workflow activity, you can take a look at:

  • Interactive form is not showing data during design time

    Hello,
    I have created a interactive form to display PDF. It is of 12 page. I created and checked in the code to DTR but now when I checked out the DC and and edited the interactive form for further update it is not showing any thing in the design time,showing only one blank page. However if I build and run that checked out project it is showing the proper data at runtime, so now i am unable to update the pdf.
    Please help and let me know what to do.

    Hi Timo,
    Sorry for the late response and not specifying more in detail.
    My Jdeveloper version is 11.1.1.6 R1.  When I ran for the first time, it was working fine. Then later on, when I was running it was opening completely blank screen.
    I thought it is something to do with the permission to the task flow. I have opened web.xml and jazn-data.xml file to check and closed without tweaking these files.
    Now, I was not able to open the page in the designer also. It was just showing hierarchy of all the components.
    I copied the backup again and it worked. What could be the reason so that I can avoid doing this in future?
    Is this related to Jdeveloper bug as I have seen on other forums highlighting this issue.

  • Disable event firing while updating list item in custom timer job

    Hi
    I am adding new items in the list usign custom timer job.
    While adding the items in the list event receiver of another list (which is not related to list which is updating) is getiing fired due to which I am getting data wrongly updated and exceptions are comming.
    why the another lists event recevier is executing while updating my list?
    How can I disable event firing from timer job code?
    please suggest any solution

    Hello,
    It seems you have deployed your event receiver globally and it is applied to all the lists. I can suggest two ways:
    1. Either you update your event receiver feature.xml file and attached to specific list, wherever you want. You can follow below link to attach event with specific list via code:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.speventreceiverdefinition.aspx
    Or instead of code you can also pass ListUrl in feature.xml file:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff398052.aspx
    2. OR delete event receiver from the list: You can use below code in your timer job to delete event receiver
