Create Site Column and add it to two different list as dependent lookup column

I want to create two lookup lists that will have one common column. The common column values will vary depending on the list.
For ex: List A holds Countries (USA) and their Currency code (USD). List B holds States (New York) and their code (NY). The lists are completely independent of each other. I would like to create a common site column named "Code" of type
Text and use it across these two lists. Is it possible?
My solution so far -
a. created the site column (programmatically) which is pretty straight forward.
b. created list definition with two fields (Title and Code).
c. created list instance for Country list. Added data rows in the elements.xml. But not sure how to add Code field as dependent lookup.
If I remove the code field from the elements.xml, the solution deploys successfully creating the Country list with just the Title field. But I need both the fields. Any help is appreciated.
Here is a look at the elements.xml with data rows for Country list instance
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<ListInstance Title="List Instance" OnQuickLaunch="TRUE" TemplateType="10001" Url="Lists/CountryList" Description="Country Values">
<Data>
<Rows>
<Row>
<Field Name="Title">USA</Field>
<Field Name="Code">USD</Field>
</Row>
<Row>
<Field Name="Title">Japan</Field>
<Field Name="Code">Yen</Field>
</Row>
<Row>
<Field Name="Title">Australia</Field>
<Field Name="Code">AUD</Field>
</Row>
</Rows>
</Data>
</ListInstance>
</Elements>

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to add lookup field to the list in elements.xml.
I recoment you to create lookup column as site column, then bind the lookup column to the contnet type, and then use the contnet type in the list.
For more information, you can refer to:

  • Security create-keychain does not add the keychain to search list

    Hello guys,
    It seems that since OS X Mavericks the security create-keychain does not add the keychain in the search list. I tried calling the SecKeychainCreate directly to verify that this is not a bug in the SecurityTool (the result is the same). Could you please help me verify if this is expected behavior or more like a bug that was not reported?
    Is there other way to create a keychain and add it to the search list except modifying the whole search list (for ex. using the security list-keychain)? I would like to concurrently create more than one keychain and modifying the whole search list does not seem like a good practice, becuase it introduces a race condition.
    P.S. I tested this in Yosemite and the behavior is the same.

    Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
    However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
    What we found from out testing:
    - The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
    - The file can be closed and  Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
    - Also, until the  Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file. 
    Example Scenario:
    - User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
    - Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
    - User 1 saves his file and closes it - but  Dreamweaver is still open.
    - User 2 also saves his file and leaves  Dreamweaver  open.
    - The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
    - If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
    - Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
    Other information:
    - Files are opened directly from the server
    - Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
    - Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
    - The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
    - The users are usually working on the files all day
    - It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
    It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
    Anyone know if this is a known issue?
    Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
    Thanks

    Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

  • How to create a control and add it to a page layput

    http://www.itidea.nl/index.php/what-about-you-must-fill-out-all-required-properties-before-completing-this-action-when-publishing-a-page/
    which says that i need to create a control and add it to a page layout. but can anyone help me in understanding how i can create a user control and add them to page layout ?
    Thanks

    > First problem  i could not find a User Control (Farm Solution only) under the Office/SharePoint section
    if you mean New item in Visual Studio, then check it under general Web category. User controls are basic ASP.Net functionalities, not Sharepoint-specific. If it is not there, you may use the following trick:
    1. Create new project in other VS instance using "ASP.Net Empty Web Application" template
    2. Add new user control there (in this project type it should exist for sure under Web category. Called "Web User Control")
    3. Copy all user control's files to the folder of your Sharepoint project (ascx, ascx.cs, ascx.designer.cs)
    4. In VS instance with Sharepoint project add existing items: all copied user control files. They should be grouped under ascx file automatically after that
    > The type or namespace name 'TaxonomyFieldControl' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"
    you need to add reference to Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.dll assembly, which is located in the GAC (assume that you have installed Sharepoint on your dev env)

    thanks a lot for your help. so can i do the following steps:-
    I follow these steps to deploy a user control.
    using Visual Studio 2012 , i added a new Farm solution.
    then inside the farm solution i added a new User Control(Farm Solution Only).
      3.   inside the user control i entered the following code:-
    using Microsoft.SharePoint;
    using Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy;
    using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls;
    using System;
    using System.Web.UI;

    //Provides an ASP.NET control that handles the Ribbon buttons controlling the state of a Microsoft SharePoint Server wiki or publishing page,
    //such as the CheckInCheckOutButton or the PublishingButton.
    SPPageStateControl baseParentStateControl = Page.Items[typeof(SPPageStateControl)] as SPPageStateControl;
    //Publish button: SPListItem MissingRequiredFields checks this.FieldHasValue(link.Name, field);
    //the field is empty (which is right) when the page is first created (MMD field is never filled in)
    //when the field was once filled, saved and emptied the field in sp code still has the previous value and the check MissingRequiredFields succeeds
    //after succeeding this check the page is validated (this.Page.Validate()) and this one fails which results SP validating the page as the Save button does
    if (baseParentStateControl.HasError)
    //this overwrites the previous PageErrorState
    //and validates the page
    //no popup anymore and status updates in yellow area
    baseParentStateControl.EnsureItemSavedIfEditMode(false);
    else
    //there are missing fields at this listitem, but they're not on the page
    //do nothing here, because the SerializedErrorState contains the navigate url to the Edit Properties page
    //and a message pops up
    /// <summary>
    /// Check if required fields are missing which are present at the page
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns></returns>
    private static bool AreThereAnyMissingRequiredFieldsOnPage()
    foreach (Control control in SPContext.Current.FormContext.FieldControlCollection)

    string type = control.GetType().Name;
    FieldTypes controlType = (FieldTypes)Enum.Parse(typeof(FieldTypes), type);
    switch (controlType)
    case FieldTypes.TaxonomyFieldControl:
    TaxonomyFieldControl tfc = control as TaxonomyFieldControl;
    if (!tfc.IsValid)
    return true;
    break;
    default:
    break;
    return false;
    enum FieldTypes
    DateTimeField, FieldValue, TextField, RichImageField, NoteField, RichHtmlField, PublishingScheduleFieldControl, TaxonomyFieldControl, BooleanField, ComputedField
      4. i add a reference for the Sharepoint.taxnomy
      5. then i deploy the solution to my site collection. and now i can see the new solution inside the farm solution under central administration.
    but not sure if these are all the required steps to register the user control or still i need to do extra steps ?

    Hi,
    The command above about creating a group only works for the root site of the site collection, because the scope of the user group is site collection level, these groups
    can be used in all the sites in this site collection.
    With the existing groups in the root site, we can add users into them and grant specific permissions of a specific sub site to these groups.
    Here is a demo about how to assign permission to a group using Client Object Model(though in C#) for your reference:

    I want to know what I need and then how to take a pdf form I created in word and add the blue boxes so that anyone can type into my form

    Hey john@adobe,
    Could you please specify how exactly have you created your form.
    You might need to have Acrobat installed on your computer to convert a word document to PDF.
    Do you have Acrobat installed? If yes, what version? If no, then please try using the trial version of Acrobat DC (latest version) and access its features:
    Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC
    Also, let me know what kind of blue boxes are you talking about.
    If you want others to edit your PDF form, then you need to make it a fillable form by choosing 'Form Editing' option from Tools pane.
    Let me know more on this so that I can help you out.

  • Split a text based on delimiter and add items to a sharepoint list using SPD workflow

    Hi All
    I have to store repeating table data into a sharepoint list. I have developed an approach to store data into a sharepoint list using web services as mentioned at
    http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2007/how-to-submit-items-rows-repeating-table-infopath-sharepoint-list.htm. However this approach is working when form opened client only but when I opened it in browser this approach is giving error. Now I'm looking
    to promote repeating table data by combining items will a delimiter semi-colon (;). Please let me know how can I split the promoted field value using de-limiter and add it to a sharepoint list.
    Note:
    I'm working on SharePoint online 2010. (I don't have sharepoint on-premise, so I can't use SharePoint Object Model)
    If anybody know how to deal with this, please let me know.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Chuchendra,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to split the promoted field value in InfoPath form which was combined using semi-colon and add it to a SharePoint list.
    I recommend to submit the data to another SharePoint list first(use a column to store the value) and then create calculated columns to user formula to split the value, then use workflow to update the list where you want to add the value with the divided
    values.
    For example: the value is aa;bb;cc;dd.
    Based on the number of the semi-colons, we need to create one column to store the original value(named test for example), four calculated columns(v1,v2,v3,v4) to store the divided values and two more calculated columns(flag1,flag2) for use in the formula.
    v1: =LEFT([test],FIND(";",[test])-1)
    flag1: =RIGHT([test],LEN([test])-FIND(";",[test]))
    v2: =LEFT([flag1],FIND(";",[flag1])-1)
    flag2: =RIGHT([flag1],LEN([flag1])-FIND(";",[flag1]))
    v3: =LEFT([flag2],FIND(";",[flag2])-1)
    v4: =RIGHT([flag2],LEN([flag2])-FIND(";",[flag2]))
    We can also use Client Object Model to write code to split the value of the field.

  • Possible to add apps from two different itunes accounts?

    So my family just purchased an iPad and I was wondering if it was possible to add apps from two different user accounts without paying for them twice? My dad synced it up with his computer so all the apps from his iphone were transfered. I noticed that in the app store for the ipad you can switch between different accounts. If I switched to my username would it allow me to add apps that I've already purchased through my iphone or will I have to pay twice?

    Yes. My grandson did that to me and I had a heck of a time upgrading the apps he loaded because I didn't have his password. I ended up deleting them.

    How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod?  If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

    I used to have this problem.
    First, you need to go back on iTunes
    you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
    Click the album so all the songs drop down
    Right click the songs that have this problem
    Click ' Get info '
    Click the tab that says " info '
    The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
    Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
    as such,
    ARTIST
    JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
    ALBUM ARTIST
    JAY-Z
    These should be separate for each artist
    If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

    In your description you say the first document opens as the Title you gave it.
    Templates always open as Untitled so it sounds like you have saved a regular document, perhaps into your templates folder which is possible.
    Since you have already worked on it and it has been previously saved, Lion will now Save for you and Save a Version is available
    The other document does open as Untitled so sounds like a real template and as Peggy has pointed out will not have either Revert nor Save a Version until you Save it and have changed something in it.
    This is a classic example of just how Apple's supposedly "simplification" of the process, is leading to confusion of what has happened. That the conditions and resulting actions from those conditions is so convoluted says it all.
    It all reminds me of the Monty Python Life of Brian sketch with the "simplified" John Cleese instructions to the class, as to if you have a brother in an older dorm whether to hang your hat and bag on the hooks provided. The trouble is Apple does not get the joke, that it is transforming itself into a frequently self contradictory bumbling bureacracy. The price of unchallenged self appointed geniushood.
    The incoherent half baked stumbling juggernaut has reached new triumphs with its edict on enforced Sandboxing on developers when it is unable to follow even its own instructions.

    When you plug in your charger and attach it to the MBP, initially the light will turn green.  If the MBP needs charging, a few seconds later the light will turn amber.  That is normal.  If your symptoms are different, then they may or may not be a problem.
