AJAX based field in document library default new form

I have a field in my document library which is reading data from another field in the same library.
For this to achieve I am using Lookup field which is working fine. But I want to change it so instead of a drop down where the user selects value from lookup, I want to give a textbox and as user starts typing, it reads data from lookup field and start displaying
results which user can choose.
I am talking about the same "instant search" feature which is commonly around or another example is User field in SharePoint form, which when you start typing user name, shows you name from the AD.
So is it possible to do the same in EditForm.aspx?

Hi,
This is 100% possible by customizing editform using SharePoint designer. the solution you are looking for termed as Auto Complete text box.
there are various solutions available using Javascript.
Here is the reference for it.

JQuery to set Title field to Name field in Document Library

I want to use some simple JQuery to populate the Title field of a document with the contents of the Name field. I am able to populate the Title field with basic text using:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('input[title=Title]').attr({value: 'Test'});
</script>
That works fine - but how can I change it to pass the contents of the Name field into the Title field? This code runs on the EditForm.aspx for the document library. Thanks!

How to read the "Name" field from document library in workflow?

Hi,
The task I'm trying to accomplish looks pertty simple: I need to read a value of the item's "Name" field inside the workflow. I try to do it using LookupSPListItem and GetDynamicValueProperties activities. I can get value of the "Title"
field, also I created custom field and can read it too.
But the "Name" field always comes empty.
I guess I need to use some tricky syntax or this field has some different "internal name"?
The workflow is designed in VS 2013.

Thank you. Looks correct, since when I enter this path (FileLeafRef) into GetDynamicValueProperties
and change Entity Type to list of documents it changes to Name
automatically.
But somehow it doesn't work too. (:
I also tried LinkFilenameNoMenu and LinkFilename
- same result.
EDIT: Solved. :)
Looks like FileLeafRef is not loaded by default by LookupSPListItem, so you have to pass this property name via
Properties collection. The bad news is that in this case other properties won't be loaded if you didn't add them to this collection.
Anyway, it works. :)

How to set a BCS field in document library via PowerShell?

Hi,
In my doclib there's a BCS field named "CUSTOMERS3". When I set it as:
$item["CUSTOMERS3"]="BADO"
I see the text "BADO" in "View All Properties". But if I click on "Edit Item" button in the toolbar I see the proper picker empty. How should I set my BCS field correctly via PS?

Issue with New Document in a document library with multiple content types

Hi,
I have a created a custom list definition based on a document library. I added 3 content types in this list, one is a document set (lets call it DOCSET), the two others are content types inheriting from Document (DOCA and DOCB).
I deployed the list definition with a site scoped feature and the list instance with a web scoped feature. After activating the two features, the list is created and the content types are present in the list.
When I click in the New Document button and choose either the DOCA or DOCB content type, a Word document opens and the DOCA content type is always associated to this Word document.
With SharePoint Manager 2013 I saw that the template.dotx document was not in the Forms/DOCA or Forms/DOCB folder.
So I decided to remove all the content types from the list definition and add them by code with the ListAdded event receiver. I used list.ContentTypes.Add to add the content types to the list.
With this method the templates are correctly copied from the template.dotx in the RootFolder/Forms folder of my list. These templates have the rights content type id, but the New Document button still does not work properly.
So I looked at the Content Types inside my library and saw that the DocumentTemplateUrl linked to the RootFolder/Forms/template.dotx and not the RootFolder/Forms/DOCA/template.dotx or RootFolder/Forms/DOCB/template.dotx.
I debugged my code to look closer and see that right after the list.ContentTypes.Add, the DocumentTemplateUrl is correclty set but when my EventReceiver finishes, the DocumentTemplateUrl get back to the RootFolder/Forms/template.dotx.
Have you any idea why this is not working ?
Regards

Hi,
Per my understanding, there is an issue about the DOCA and DOCB content types which inherits from Document Content Type in your custom list definition.
By default, if there is a custom content type inherits the OOTB Document Content Type, it will also inherits the template.dotx file from the OOTB Document Content Type.
The template URL of a custom content type which inherits the OOTB Document Content Type:
If you want to specify different templates for different content types, the code demo below would be helpful:

Document Library set "Title" field automatically equal to "Name" field

Hi,
Is it possible to make Title field in document library automatically fill up with File name field?

Three ways you could do this really.
#1 - Write a custom event receiver using .NET
#2 - Write Javascript on the list form to update the field
#3 - Create a custom workflow that kicks in when new items are added or modified and that would set the field

How to set a list form field data value that is linked to another document library's data when the link gets broken!!??

In summary, I have created 3 document libraries and one issues list in a site collection.
The issues list has a form that has mainly been created in SharePoint 2010 but tweaked in InfoPath 2007 and one of the fields links to the title of a document in the first document library (so an issue can be linked/referenced to a particular document).
This all works great until I want to move a document (using the workflow that I built) from document library 1, to document library 2 or 3 as this is what I've set up to move documents through the business process we are taking it through.
When this happens, the link between the issue that was raised originally against the document is broken and therefore you can no longer tell which document the issue is linked with.
Does anyone know a way of 'setting' the field that is linked to data in another document library on original selection/creation of the issue, so that when the link is broken the original data remains.
Any ideas welcome as I am stomped!!!
Cheers!!
Louis Maxwell

Hi Louis,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to keep the link field of the issue list working after moving the linked document.
Whether the link field is a lookup column or not ?
If so, due to the information source of lookup column cannot be changed, you need to add other lookup fields for document library 2 and document library 3. Just one lookup column corresponds one document
library. Then you can update the lookup column in the workflow when move the linked document. Such as when a document is moved to document library 2, you need to clear the lookup1 field (corresponding document library 1) and update the lookup2 field (corresponding
document library 2).
For updating the lookup column, you can refer to the following actions:

Issue when filtering with Managed Metadata Columns in Share Point Document Library

Hi All
I have a document library, and a four Metadata Columns in it, with each column having a number of term in it. I have no issues in adding a document or in term sets. We have set property of Managed Metadata Column as Allow Multiple Values. So some of the items
in library contains values with only one term set. While other documents contains values with multiple values.
We have a number of country sites having the document library with same metadata columns. In document library default view i am showing Metadata column, User want to filter the documents (view) based on Metadata column selected.
The filtering is giving inconsistent behavior. In production server it is giving in error with some correlation ID. On our development machine some times it is working fine and some other times it is given error of Validation of Viewstate MAC failed. i tried
on different countries sites.
I checked we have already kept the Metadata Navigation and Filtering under site action feature as activated. It was even more weird when i deactivated the feature on one country site and the filtering was working fine. And on other country site where i
kept the feature as activated and the filtering was giving an error.
Thanks & Regards
Amit

Hi Amit,
Have you checked the ULS error message for more information with correlation ID?
Please try using the library metadata navigation to filter these managed metadata columns value via configuring library "Metadata navigation settings" after you enabled the "Metadata Navigation and Filtering" feature,
then check if the issue would still persist.
Please see more information from below article with similar issue.

Corrupt document gets created in document library with document template using createlistitem workflowaction in visual studio workflow for office 365 solution

Hi,
My requirement is to create a document library associated to a custom content type with a document template associated. Also I need to create a document based on the template in this document library when a new item is created in another list by taking the
reference ID of that new Item , I need to create the document with the name appended by ID. I need to do all this deployment using WSP.
I have created document library with document template associated to content type by following instructions in below stated blog :http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chaks/archive/2011/05/19/deploying-a-document-template-file-in-content-type-in-a-office365-sandboxed-solution.aspx
This works perfect for me.
However, there are few observations, when going to Document Library > Library Settings > Advanced Settings > Document Template section - doesnt shows the Edit template link. When tried to look at the value for the document template using view source
, it is giving me /Lists/MyDocsListInstance/Forms/template.dotx instead of the actual template file uploaded.
Ignoring the above observation, when I am trying to create a sandbox based workflow in visual studio to create document in document library when new item is created in another list, I provide the ContentTypeID as the ID associated with the document library
with template.
It creates the corrupt document at end of workflow.
I have tried using .docx instead of .dotx files for workflow as per solution provided in some of the post but it isnt resolving my issue.
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Krutika

OK, I am going to throw out a lot of ideas here so hopefully they get you closer to a diagnosis. Hang on :)
Does it happen to work for some users but not others? If so, try logging in on the "good" computer with the "bad" username. This will tell you if the problem is related to the end-user's system. Also, once the user downloads a document
successfully can they open and work on it in Word? Also, does the document library have any custom content types associated with it or does it just use 'Document'?
I notice that there are other folks on the web that have run into this same problem and the similarity seems to be that they are either on SharePoint 2007 or have upgraded from 2007. Did this doc library start out as a 2007 library?
What you might want to do is this: Make a site collection from scratch in 2013 (or find one that you know was created in 2013). Choose team site (or whatever you want) for the root web and set up the security the same way you have it on the malfunctioning
library. Now, use windows explorer to copy and paste some of the documents to the new location. Be sure you recreate any needed content types. Now test it from the troubled user's computer.
I'm thinking there may be something that is different about the library since it was migrated through various versions and updates since 2007. I've sometimes found that there can be problems (especially with user profiles but that's a different story) with
things that go through this evolution.

How to move files to Archive folder in same document library

we have one document library (Upload Documents) in that document library we have Archive Folder , when upload document to upload document library first we want check same document name is there or not and check version also ,if the same document

Files Uploaded using Mapped Drive (UNC) to SharePoint Document library Putting a copy in Recycle Bin , odd SharePoint Behaviour

Hello All,
One of my client reported a strange behaviour.
Client mapped SharePoint document library to local share(UNC, NetWork Map Drive). Opened MS Word on local machine ,saved it to the share on his local machine. The document is saved successfully to SharePoint document library. But at the same time he can
see a file with same name in Recycle bin and the size of the document in Recycle bin is <1k.
Does any one know whether it is expected behaviour, why SharePoint putting this 1k file in Recycle bin?
I tried the same thing on my Dev Environment for both SharePoint 2010 and 2013, in both environments the behaviour is same as my client experience.
I have seen in forums some other people also experiencing this odd behaviour, but no one knows why.
any info on this much appreciated.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
i tried in my environment for 2010 and 2013. The issue doesn't occur.
Here is what i did.
1, Create a new mapped drive(\\servername\DavWWWRoot\Shared Documents) for document library
2, New a Word doc and input some string, save in the mapped drive.
3, The doc exists in the document library, but no file in Recycle Bin.
Did i miss something?

Enable Merge Documents and Relink documents views for a document library

Hi All,
I would like to have Merge Documents and Relink documents views for a document library (not a form library). I was able to see Combine.aspx and Repair.aspx in the document library open with explorer -> Forms folder. How do I enable these two views?
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Merge Documents -> /Forms/Combine.aspx
Relink Documents -> /Forms/repair.aspx

These two views is actually hidden in SharePoint library, you can enable it by set hidden property to false.
download SharePoint manager, then find the site, root to the specified library, click views, find the Merge documents view, you will see that the Hidden propery is by default set to true.

it is posible that i can drag and drop the files from SharePoint document library to new E-Mail or Internet Explorer?

Harmon.IE provide an outlook plug-in that provides drag-drop functionality for SharePoint within outlook and could be worth taking a look at.
I believe it's license free up to 100 seats, but you'll need to verify that.
