Update Managed Metadata field in SharePoint 2013 Designer Workflow for O365

Hi Guys,
I need to update the managed metadata field in SharePoint Custom List using Workflow but its not working. I have also tried to use the HTTP WebService POST Operation but no luck.
Am doing this for a SharePoint Online (O365) Site.
Has anyone worked on something similar and was able to get it running ?
I saw a post to create a custom Workflow Activity but I don't have a choice to go with the custom code option.
http://patrickboom.wordpress.com/2013/07/23/workflow-activity-set-managed-metadata-column/
I was able to achieve this by creating a SP 2010 based Workflow for O365. Which means that it worked well with SP 2010.
Is there a different way to do it in 2013 ? I tried almost all options apart from creating custom Activity but nothing worked out.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Nutan

Hi Nutan,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update Managed Metadata field with SharePoint 2013 Designer for SharePoint Online.
As far as I know, there is not an OOB action to achieve your requirement with SharePoint 2013 Designer for SharePoint 2013. Customizing a workflow action is a better option to achieve it. Why didn’t you customize a workflow action as Patrick’s blog?
In addition, please take a look at the article about Nintex workflow, check whether it is useful for you:
http://habaneroconsulting.com/insights/setting-managed-metadata-fields-in-a-nintex-workflow#.UykBSf6KDHo
As this issue is about SharePoint Online, I suggest you create a new thread on SharePoint Online forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=onlineservicessharepoint . More experts will assist you.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Add datetime property to "MetaInfo" field using SharePoint 2013 CSOM

When uploading a file along with metadata using SharePoint FP RPC (using the "method= put document") it allows me to properly add datetime properties. My metainfo looks like this:
"MetaInfo":"...MyCustomDate:TW|05 Jan 2015 12:58:31 -0000\r\n..."
Then later on, when I try to update "MyCustomDate" property from the "MetaInfo" field using CSOM, it fails while updating it. (In this case I am using CSOM because I am updating some more fields and I want to avoid extra round-trips)
After that update my metainfo looks like this:
"MetaInfo":"...MyCustomDate:FX|0x01d028e7|0x4d1c4880\r\n..."
Does anyone know why?, is there any workaround?
Thanks

Hi,
If you want to add datetime property to "MetaInfo" field using SharePoint 2013 CSOM, the following code snippet for your reference:
using (ClientContext context = new ClientContext("http://yourserver/"))
context.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user", "password", "domain");
List list = context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Documents");
ListItem oListItem = list.GetItemById(1);
oListItem["MetaInfo"] = "MyCustomDate:TW|08 Jan 2015 12:58:31 -0000";
oListItem.Update();
context.ExecuteQuery();

2. This is the complete code, add it into the Script Editor Web Part and save.
<script type="text/javascript">
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(retrieveListItems, "sp.js");
function retrieveListItems() {
// Create an instance of the current context to return context information
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
//Returns the list with the specified title from the collection
var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('CustomListName');
//use CAML to query the top 10 items
var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
//Sets value that specifies the XML schema that defines the list view
camlQuery.set_viewXml('<View><RowLimit>10</RowLimit></View>');
//Returns a collection of items from the list based on the specified query
this.collListItem = oList.getItems(camlQuery);
clientContext.load(this.collListItem, 'Include(Title,MultipleText)');
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
function onQuerySucceeded() {
//Returns an enumerator to iterate through the collection
var listItemEnumerator = this.collListItem.getEnumerator();
//Remove div tag use a regular expression
var reg1 = new RegExp("<div class=\"ExternalClass[0-9A-F]+\">[^<]*", "");
var reg2 = new RegExp("</div>$", "");
//Advances the enumerator to the next element of the collection
while (listItemEnumerator.moveNext()) {
//Gets the current element in the collection
var oListItem = listItemEnumerator.get_current();
alert(oListItem.get_item('MultipleText').replace(reg1, "").replace(reg2, ""));
function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());

Sharing item/folder in SharePoint 2013 on-prem

I'm trying to share an item/folder in a library (in a subsite that has unique permissions) to a user that doesn't have access to the site/library. Is this even possible?
I've tried to share the item/folder directly with read permissions, but that doesn't work (access denied). And when I share the library (read permissions) and then share the item/folder it works. But the user cannot open the item (ex. word file), it says:
"Sorry, we couldn't open: http://urltothedocument.docx".

Hi,
Yes, you can share a document or folder in a document library in SharePoint 2013.
For your issue, please take steps as below:
1.Go to your site collection -> Site Settings -> Manage Site Collection Features.
2. Make sure "Limited-access user permission lockdown mode" is deactivated.

Eric

Issue in mapping custom user profile property with AD field in SharePoint 2013

Hello,
I am trying to map a custom user profile property i created "ADSecurityGroups", type - String, Multivalue with the AD propoerty named "memberOf" via powershell.
UserProfile Service is up and running, and so is the Synchronization Service. User executing the powershell has full control on the User Profile Service and is the farm administrator.
Following is the code snippet i grabbed from the internet which i am trying to execute.

$connectionName = "UserProfileSyncConnection" #Name of the SharePoint synchronization connection
$site = Get-SPSite $url

Script to hide out of the box form field in SharePoint 2013

Can someone post a script to hide the fields on the out of the box New form of a particular list ?

You can still edit form pages within SPO. Embedding that script should work. Have you tested it?
As an alternative, you can set some of the column properties (such as
ShowInEditForm) to No via the SPO Manager but this is a paid product - http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/store/sharepoint-manager-2013-online-WA104025157.aspx?queryid=6e5f213e%2D1ae8%2D4d5c%2D85f0%2D83712736e194&css=sharepoint%20manager&CTT=1

How to write FQL in querytext field in SharePoint 2013 Search REST API?

I am having double quote symbol issue in my search app, same as http://www.silver-it.com/node/127 says.
To avoid this issue, I am trying to understand: is it possible to do search request in FQL to the 2013 Search REST web service?
I know that we can use KQL in querytext, like
http://sp2013/sites/search/_api/search/query?querytext='Title:"123#123"'&enablefql=false&rowlimit=100&selectproperties='Title'
But is it possible to write it in FQL? I found that there is a enableFQL property we can set in REST API. What's the function of it?
http://sp2013/sites/search/_api/search/query?querytext='test'&enablefql=true&rowlimit=100&selectproperties='Title'
http://sp2013/sites/search/_api/search/query?querytext='string("test case",mode="simpleall")'&enablefql=true&rowlimit=100&selectproperties='Title'
Right now, the two above requests just give me this error.
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

Error when running workflow form list item - workflow manager SharePoint 2013

Can't find anything on google.
Edit: Ok, when I look at the error, it is saying the the "GetInstances" stored procedure in the WFInstanceManagementDB database does not have a parameter named "@OtherWorkflowStatus".
For laughs, I added the parameter (which wasn't in there). Now I get the error:
Procedure or function 'GetInstances' expects parameter '@OtherWorkflowStatus', which was not supplied
It seems like there is something not right about my installation. Previously, I couldn't get the workflow backend service to run because there were config values missing from the workflow manager database. At the time I tried to uninstall/reinstall
WFM to no avail. I eventually had to manually add the values to get it to work. Something is not right about the WFM install/config process.

Here is what I had to do to get it working:
Leave the WFM (Workflow Manager) farm using the WFM config tool
Uninstall WFM, Service Bus, and the CU's from control panel
Uninstall Workflow Manager Client if it exists in the control panel, it didn't in mine
Delete the following databases in SQL Server:
SbGatewayDatabase
SbManagementDB
SBMessageContainer01
WFInstanceManagementDB
WFManagementDB
WFResourceManagementDB
Delete the workflow proxy service in Central Admin (important)
Application Management > Manage Service Applications
Highlight (select) the Workflow Service Application Proxy service (don’t click the hyperlink)
Select “Delete” from the ribbon.
Restart the server
Reinstall
Enable the workflow proxy service in CA for the web app, the 2013 workflow option will not show up in SPD unless you do this.
Application Management > Manage Web Applications
Select your web app
Select “Service Connections” from the ribbon
Check the Workflow Service Application Proxy item and click “OK”

Get filtered lookup field in sharepoint 2013

Hi,

how can i get Titles from LIST1 where User= Spservices ([Me]) for TitleLIST1 column in LIST2
Example:

Title2
Here TitleLIST1 is dropdown (Lookup)
Thanks in advance

You could consider using a calculated column on the source list that has your filtering built into it. Then look up into this on your target list.

SharePoint 2013 ListView GroupBy SpURL field

I am doing GroupBy Url Field in SharePoint (2013 Enterprise Edition) view. I have set 5 for group limits to return, and item limit to 1. Though there are more than 5 groups in list I can see less than 5 groups in view.
After bit of analysis I found that while querying from DB SharePoint API gets unique 5 combination of Description + ", " + Url of Url field. But while displaying it, groups by based on description field only.
Let's assume I have below content in my list for column "MyLink"
Bing, http://bing.com
Bing, http://bing.co.in
Google, http://Google.com
Google, http://Google.co.in
Now if I group by "MyLink" and set GroupLimit to 2 and item limit to 1 (changed item limit to 2, 10, 100 - same result), in the view I can see only 1 group "Bing". Though I have given 2 different Url's, Url is not considered here while
displaying.
As of now I have hidden field MyLink_Hidden of single line of text, which has combination of Description and Url. I am grouping by this field and replacing the group header through JS. Please suggest if this is known issue in SharePoint 2013 and there is
better solution.
PaLa

Hi Pala,
It is by design that GroupBy with hyperlink field will be grouped by description, so it is not easy to change it.
As you want to group by the view with different related content, I recommend to extract the list name and the item id from the current item's server relative URL in the workflow, and then use the value to update the column in the Task list.
After that, the column value will become , it is list name/item id_.000.
It will make the view more clear about the related item when grouping the view with this column.
And you method is also fine.
Thanks,
Victoria

Sorting and filtering by select-multi person or group field in the list in SharePoint 2013

Hi everybody,
In SharePoint 2013, I have defined a column as "Person or Group" field, which you allow for multiple selections. when I try to sort/filter it by this field in the list. The field doesn't show up in the dropdown. If I changed "Allow multiple
selections" option to "No" by clicking the column name to edit it in "List Settings", the field can show up sort in the dropdown.
How about support sorting and filter by select-multiple "Person or Group" field in sharepoint 2013?
BTW, in SharePoint 2010, it can support this issue no matter what the "Allow multiple selections" option the request is.
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Jodie

Hi Jodie,
Can you please give this as a try.
To fix the Filter Issue on Assigned To Column. We need to run the following scripts.
The field which allows more than one values or which allows multiple selections. The multi-valued fileds are non-sortable,
non-filterable. Multi-valued fields cannot be indexed
$web=Get-SPWeb
$list=$web.Lists[] $field=$list.Fields[ColumnName] $strSchema=$field.SchemaXml $str=Schema$strSchema.Replace("Sortable=`"FALSE`"","Sortable=`"true`"")
$field.SchemaXml = $strSchema
Krishana Kumar http://www.mosstechnet-kk.com
Thanks for your reply, I have tried to run the scripts, but it still cannot work. The following is my scripts:
$web=Get-SPWeb 'http://cst-server-01'
$list=$.web.Lists["Product Request"]
$field=$list.Fields["Applicant"]
$strSchema=$field.SchemaXml
$str=Schema$strSchema.Replace("Sortable='"FALSE'"", "Sortable='"True'"")
$field.SchemaXml = $strSchema
