Column Validation

In my form the requester is asked a choice and required to give a "yes" or "no" answer. I need to know if I can set a validation that would require the requester to attach a file when "yes" is selected. I am not using info path
or designer for this function.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
You might need coding to achieve the requirement. If you would like to directly add coding to Newform.aspx to force attachment, then please refer to :

To add a condition, you could use InfoPath form, and then link it to coding in the form. Please refer to:

  • Column Validation on Single Line of Text

    I have a sharepoint input form in SP2013, which contains text field with below properties
    1. Type: Single line of Text
    2. Under Column validation
     =AND(ISNUMBER([Column name]+0),ISERROR(FIND(".",[Column name],1)))
    On form submit, the above condition evaluates and throws an error if field value is non numeric field.(This is expected and working fine)
    I also want to add another condition that should not allow preceding zero
    example: it should throw error on 0122343(any number starting with zero)

    You should achieve that with the following formula :
    =AND(AND(ISNUMBER([Column name]+0);ISERROR(FIND(".",[Column name],1)));LEFT([Column name],1) <> "0")
    If the first character of your column is 0 it fails validation

  • Column validation for JTable?

    Hi all,
    i have a table on my app, there is a column that show boolean value on the table. it's represented by check box, cause i'm using a custom table model. the datas is took from database.
    i want to create a column validation to validate at least only 1 cell must checked, if there's only a checkbox that checked and when we try to uncheck the last one it will show us a warning. how to make it possible?
    anyone can help me?
    ps:
    i'm using jdk1.6.0_04

    You will probably need to create a custom editor.
    This code shows how to create one using a text field. The code will be similiar for a check box:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=642364
    You will need access to the JTable or TableModel and would need to look at the values in every row for the specific column before determining whether to stop editing or not.

  • Column Validation on Yes/No Ceheckbox

    As there is no column validation on a Yes/No column within the column itself, I'm wondering if it's possible at the List level to create column validation on 4 Yes/No columns.
    Something like this: allow Checkbox A to be set to Yes if and only if Checkboxes B, C and D are ALL equal to Yes.
    =IF(AND([Checkbox B]=TRUE,[Checkbox C]=TRUE,[Checkbox D]=TRUE)),[Checkbox A]=TRUE,FALSE)
    Just not exactly sure about the syntax or whether what I'm attempting is even possible.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you might be able to offer.
    Dave

    Hi Dave,
    You can use the following validation for your list.
    =OR(AND(A=TRUE,AND(B=TRUE,C=TRUE,D=TRUE)),AND(A=FALSE,OR(B=TRUE,C=TRUE,D=TRUE)))
    Thanks

  • Disable Column validation in editform.aspx page

    I want to temporarily disable column validation in editform of custom list. For example i have column 'age' with column validation =[age]>18 , but I want to allow user to enter any value only in editform.aspx . 
    Thanks, Saravanan PRS

    Option #1. You may remove those validations from list settings
    temporarily. 
    Option #2. Remove list setting validations and apply all validations through javascript or jquery. You
    can have a flag to disable or enable. This way you get a flexibility to ON/OFF validations.

  • Cannot a file to document library with column validation

    I have two problems

    If I remove column validation, I don't get that error.
    It would appear that the error is thrown internally in Sharepoint's Add API.
    Not quite sure how to proceed now.
    Problem#2: Even if I input a valid value in the column validation, the same error above is still thrown.
    Confused................
    [Update] Okay, I have found the reason for the exception (correct if I am wrong). Sharepoint File has metadata, and when I do the Add function, Sharepoint internally does a validation on the metadata and it will throw exception if not validated. That's why
    validation would fail even when I am inputting some valid data in my field (because I am not sending that valid data to the Add function through metadata properties).So, my question now is:
    Is it possible to prevent the validation on the metadata properties? Is there some APi for it?

    I was probably not clear in my thread.
    What I would want is for my code to upload the file to the server and then allow me to input my values for the metadata, THEN do the validation. Similar to how you upload a document to sharepoint library using the out-of-the-box webparts.
    But, right now in my code, this is not possible. Uploading the file using the Add API will just throw an error BEFORE even allowing me to input any values for my item/file metadata. So, I am trying to find a way to upload my file without the validation (pretty
    much like how microsoft does it in oob)
    Not sure if this is clear enough now

  • List Column Validation Formula for Text

    I want to use the List Column Validation to prevent users from entering a period "." into a text field. If they try to save the list with a period in the text field the message would be displayed. What formula syntax will allow me to do this?

    Bob,
    You are correct, the validation formula needs to evaluate to true (valid) or false (invalid).  We could simplify the above even further by using =ISERROR(FIND(".",Title)).  The reason we can remove the "IF" portion of the formula is because
    ISERROR is already returning true when the FIND function fails to locate a period in the Title.
    The IF statement comes in handy at times and it takes 3 parameters.  The first is an expression to evaluate, the next is a value to return when the expression is true, and the last is a value to return when the expression is false.  Let's
    say you wanted the opposite and enforce all Titles to include a period.  You could change the above formula by simply reversing the position of the true/false values of the IF statement as follows:
    =IF(ISERROR(FIND(".", [Title])),FALSE,TRUE)

  • Records center drop off library column validation

    In the drop off library of records center, I created a column as a required field. When users send their documents to the records center, I want the user to be able to select the value from the dropdown box of this column in order to complete the "send
    to" process. Is there a way to implement this? I tried to use column validation function by adding formula, but it doesn't work. I only got "Sorry, something went wrong" message. If anyone has similar implementation before, please guide me to
    the right direction. Thank you very much for your help. 

    Hi Bob ,
    Every time the Content Organizer Processing job runs, it sends an email message for any item that fails to match a rule. When a submission doesn't match a rule, the rule manager must be alerted immediately
    so that the appropriate action can be taken. This is the expected behavior.
    So for quitting sending email to the content owners, the only way is disabling the Content Organizer Processing job.
    By default  the Content Organizer Processing job runs once per day, with compromise  you can balance the timer job frequency against the need for the content owners to be notified.

  • Date column validation in sharepoint 2010 lists (without designer)

    Hi,
    I have a list with a date column which i want to validate against the current date at the item's creation time. When i insert a formula in the validation field, i always get errors. For example, i've tried this:
    [column name]>TODAY
    How can i get this to work? Sharepoint designer is disabled and i can't use it.
    Thanks and regards,
    Juan

    Try using
    =[Column Name] > NOW()
    Edit: Or better yet...
    =[Column Name] > TODAY()

  • Automatic data to some columns + validations

    I have a table like the following:
    NRCRT (PK) NUME ID DEPARTAMENT IO DATA
    number varchar2 number varchar2 varchar2 varchar2
    I have two pages : one is input (intrare) and one is output (iesire)
    When I select the input page, I need the user to insert data just for the NAME (NUME) ID DEPARTAMENT ... and for the rest i need automatically insert FOR IO (INPUT) AND DATA (i need the date and the exact hour/minutes/seconds of when the data was inserted into the table)
    EXAMPLE SO FAR WHEN I SELECT THE INPUT PAGE:
    i have inserted data just for nume, id and departament
    NRCRT NUME ID DEPARTAMENT IO DATA
    1 John 121 P.R INTRARE 09/20/2003 16:55:14
    In exchange, when I select the output, I get the same thing just OUTPUT instead of INPUT, now the table would look like:
    NRCRT NUME ID DEPARTAMENT IO DATA
    1 John 121 P.R INTRARE 09/20/2003 16:55:14
    2 John 121 P.R IESIRE 09/20/2003 19:01:21
    So i have done this, but my problem is with the DATA column... for default type I am using SELECT TO_CHAR (SYSTIMESTAMP, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') FROM DUAL and I see the code in the report... what do I have to change?
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=20693:3:1131257751411408
    run aplication then use demo/demo
    use buttons "intrare" for input and "iesire" output
    (TO_CHAR(SYSDATE+(8/24), 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS PM')) as default table column somebody told me and it works
    I will have another problem... wait a little
    Edited by: Adrian87 on May 24, 2009 5:23 AM

    Sorry for the above, I resolved the problem with data default... continuing is the next issue:
    I need some validations:
    So, a USER must first access the INTRARE form page where he inserts his data... next the user must not be allowed to acces the same page (INTRARE), but only the IESIRE form page, where he inserts his data... then he can acces again the INTRARE and so on
    i need the validation to work on the ID and IO columns i think, that checks if the last id together with the io is the same with what I am trying to insert now...
    can this work? sounds kind of difficult...

  • Square brackets for list column validation disappear when saved

    Hi,
    I have a Title field which is a required field. I tried to put some user message in the Column's validation setting when the field is not filled in.
    It should be very simple. But everytime after I put in the =IF([Title]<>"",TRUE,FALSE) in the Formula and save it, the Formula becomes =IF(Title<>"",TRUE,FALSE) when I come back.
    The column validaton doesn't use the user message. Please advise...
    Thanks in advance.

    Looks like the required field can't take custom user message.
    It works on non-required fields.

  • How to pass column header as a parameter in Validation Expression (APEX4.0)

    Hello
    I created a new Page validation in APEX4.0 ( not 4.1 ).
    (1) Type : Function Returning error text
    (2) Validation Expression 1 :
    begin
    return validate_name ( p_c=> #COLUMN_HEADER# ,p_c_value=> to_date(:p26_LEAVE_FROM,'dd/mm/yyyy') );
    end;
    note: the validate_name is an oracle pl/sql procedure which takes two input parameters ( column header name and actual value ) and return a specific error message ( to that column ) or NULL.
    (3) In the Error Message section, I left Error Message blank ( as the app ignored the mssage but used the one returned from the above function)
    However, I chose "The Error display location" to be inline with field and notification" and Associated Item to be "p26_LEAVE_FROM".
    My question, it worked if I hard coded the actual column header "LEAVE FROM" , but it didn't work if I used the above #COLUMN_HEADER# in Validation Expression. Can I avoid hard coding as the column header might be changed one day. Is there a better way to deal with multiple column validations with different error message for each column ? It seems that I will have to create similar page valiation for each column to be validated.
    Thanks for your advice.

  • Adding multiple columns in List Validation

    HI,
    I have a custom list, which has 2 date fields. In the date column, I have added a validation as below for each of the columns:
    //on column one - Test Log date=[Test Log date]>=TODAY()
    //on column two - Test Start date=[Test Start date]>=TODAY()
    and the validation message for each of the column as : "Please enter date greater than or equal to today's date"
    In the Edit mode, i dont want the validation to check.
    How to add these two fields in the list validation?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to disable column validation in the edit form.
    There is no out of the box way to disable column validation only in edit form.
    As a workaround, we can use the JQuery to create our own custom column validation in the new form.
    There is an article about this topic, you can have a look at it.

  • DMS Document Validity date issue.

    Hello All,
    I have an issue in DMS Valid from Date & Valid to date as below.
    In our Document type when our document status is set to OB i.e. obsolete, in front of the status, system is showing two dates like 22.01.2014 to 31.12.9999.
    We are not using change number functionality in this document type. But still system is showing two dates. When document is in RE i.e Release status system is showing 22.01.2104... date in front of the status.
    Could you please let us know why it is showing two dates in front of document status.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    from my point of view I can inform you that these dates are validity dates for the document. Normally these dates are filled when the document is released to show which version of the document is valid or was valid in a specific period.
    By using menu "Extras" >> "Versions". Here a list of all versions should be displayed and the columns "Valid From" and "Valid to" should show the validity dates.
    Normally these date values are only filled when the status has set the "release" flag in transaction DC10.
    Best regards,
    Christoph
