How to store list item in hidden field?

I want to store the list item value of SharePoint 2013 in a input type hidden field.
And then want to get that items client side.
How can I store that value to <Input type="Hidden"/> field?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
If you want to get the value of list item from client side, a recommended way is using
JavaScript Client Object Model.
With JavaScript Client Object Model, we can write code with JavaScript to access SharePoint objects from client side dynamically.
The links below about JavaScript Client Object Model for your reference:

Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only.

Trying to follow Serge Luca's Step by Step Tutorial. Creating Workflows for Windows Sharepoint Services and MOSS2007. http://sergeluca.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!E8A06D5F2F585013!859.entry
I have an onWorkflowActivated, followed by an ifElse condition and a log to history.
In the IfElse, each branch has a code segment, that trys to update the status column in the list that the workflow is attached to.
private void Authorize_ExecuteCode(object sender, EventArgs e)
// tried serveral methods
WorkflowProperties.Item["Status"] = "Automatically Approved";
// tried all of the following (one at a time)
item.update();
WorkflowProperties.Item.Update();
WorkflowProperties.Item.SystemUpdate();
//tried this as well.
Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem item = WorkflowProperties.Item;
item["Status"] = "Automatically Approved";
item.Update() ;
On the update call I keep getting "Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only."
Could someone explain how to update "Status" column of the list item that the workflow is working on?
Thank you very much.
Bill

Hi:
you can do the following:
add the following code to the workflow.xml file (under the MetaData section)
Code Snippet
<ExtendedStatusColumnValues>
<StatusColumnValue>Branch1</StatusColumnValue>
<StatusColumnValue>Branch2</StatusColumnValue>
</ExtendedStatusColumnValues>
then add 2 SetState activities one in each branch of the IfElse.
for the code behind of setState1 (branch1) write the following code:
Code Snippet
state = Convert.ToInt32(SPWorkflowStatus.Max);
for setState2 (branch2) write the following:
Code Snippet
state = Convert.ToInt32(SPWorkflowStatus.Max) + 1;
where state is the variable assigned to the field State in the properties of the SetState(design lever), or instead of state u can use the following code:
Code Snippet
((SetState)sender).State
where sender is the object sent through the function parameter.
hope this answered your question

Try some thing like below,
your data value that needs to be update should be in this format "ID of the lookup";#"Title of the Lookup"
For example,
listItem["Product_x0020_Number"]
= "1;#iPhone";
listItem["Product_x0020_Number"]
= "2;#Mobile";
Hope this helped you....

How to make list item as text item in oracle forms 6i

Hello all,
I created one form with one list item named "Country".. This list item shows country name for the particular employee in the employee table.I created this list item as database field. In the enter query mode i search an employee , This should act as item text.. Suppose i want to add an employee in enter query mode then i fill all the necessary fields,and
when i click "country" list item it should display all the country names from "country_tab" table..So based on the situation
this should act as list item and item text.. Can i Do this ?.. Pls help me.

hai Andreas Weiden,
I simply explain my requirement:
I want to insert data and quering data by using single form...So, I created one form with data block. This form created from employee table.I have one text item in this form named country.This is database item.
Ok ,Now the actual problem comes.I press "Enter query" in tools menu,Then enter one employee number in employee_no field.after i press
Execute query In tools menu. It shows all the details corresponding to that employee..
Note: here "country" text item also shows employees country.
Right, Now i have another requirement. In the same form I want to insert a new employee. For that
I planed to changes country text to list item [ because when insert i can easily pick up one country .it
reduces typing work ] . I have another table "COUNTRY". Using this table, i should populate country list item..
So, the country item should act as both text item [When quering] as well as list item [ When inserting ]
Is there any idea ti do this ?
If this not possible then what is the alternative ?
Pls suggest me..

Please tell me how to handle list item in this concern

please tell me how to handle list item in this concern
My problem is:
i have a category table with column categoryname(varchar type)
I want to display the records of categoryname in a drop down list (i.e., list item )
So ..please tell me how to do it
Thanks in advance..

This code is just a sample from the Help documentation. It won't work until you modify it for your form.
Why do you have "steps" in your code? You are suppose to do what the steps tell you. You don't place the steps in your code. The steps must be removed from your code.
Step 1 code goes in a program unit, not in a trigger.
Step 2 and 3 code usually goes in a trigger.
You will have to replace the names of the items and record group with your own names as you have defined them in your form.
step 1: create a procedure in your application
procedure load_list(itm in VARCHAR2, rg in VARCHAR2) is
group_id RecordGroup := Find_Group(rg);
list_id Item := Find_Item(itm);
Begin
if Populate_Group(group_id)<>0 then
Message('Unable to populate record group');
Raise Form_Trigger_Failure;
end if;
Clear_List(list_id);
Populate_list(list_id, group_id);
end;
step 2: create a record group named rg_cat and assign Record Group Query to something like "select categoryname from category"
step 3: call this procedure as
load_list('categoryname','rg_cat');

How to copy List item from one list to another using SPD workflow using HTTP call web service

Hi,
How to copy List item from one list to another using SPD workflow using HTTP call web service.
Both the Lists are in different Web applications.
Regards, Shreyas R S

Hi Shreyas,
From your post, it seems that you are using SharePoint 2013 workflow platform in SPD.
If that is the case, we can use Call HTTP web service action to get the item data, but we cannot use Call HTTP web service to create a new item in the list in another web application with these data.
As my test, we would get Unauthorized error when using Call HTTP web service action to create a new item in a list in another web application.
So I recommend to achieve this goal programmatically.

How to get List Item attachments name without write any custom code or any database query?

Hi,
How to get List Items attachments name without write any custom code or any database query?

You can get it from Rest,
There are 2 options,
1) create a 'Result Source' which has a search query for that List which has attachments
- Use rest query to get the 'Filename' , it will have the attachment file name
For example, if the result source id is : 73e6b573-abf8-4407-9e5f-8a85a4a95159 , then the query will be
http://[site URL]/_api/search/query?querytext='*'&selectproperties='Title,Path,FileExtension,SecondaryFileExtension,Filename'&sourceid='73e6b573-abf8-4407-9e5f-8a85a4a95159'&startrow=0&rowLimit=100
You can refine the query, be giving proper 'querytext'
2) Use the List rest api
For example if your list guid is :38d524a1-e95c-439f-befd-9ede6ecd242e
You can get he attachments for 1st item using this
http://[Site URL]/_api/lists(guid'38d524a1-e95c-439f-befd-9ede6ecd242e')/items(1)/AttachmentFiles

How to refresh list item values before report is run?

We have two SELECT LIST items (drop boxes) on our report. One SELECT LIST has values of "World Region" (e.g. NORTH AMERICA, SOUTH AMERICA, EUROPE, ASIA)
the other SELECT LIST has values of "Subregion" (e.g. NORTHERN EUROPE, SOUTHERN EUROPE, SOUTHEAST ASIA etc...)
The values in the Subregion list are dependent on the value that is chosen from the "World Region" List. Can someone tell up how to update the values in the Subregion list BEFORE we submit the page? We can get these values to update (via sql query) when the page is submitted but that is only happening after the report gets run- which is not what we want. We want the user to select a Region from one SELECT LIST and then see all the qualifying Subregions for that Region in the Subregion SELECT LIST. Only after both Region and Subregion have been selected do we want to run the report. Thank for any help on this.

hey john--
john) things like Scott's reference to "The name of the LOV Item". What does this really mean?
raj) in htmldb there's a concept of items at the page and at the app level. page level items have ui component associated with them. in scott's explanation above, he's talking about using a page-level item with a "Display as" type of "select list w/submit" for your first select list. in that case, he's suggesting you have one select list item drive the values of another. when the self-submitting select list submits the page, it sets an htmldb built-in variable called :REQUEST to the name of the self-submitting select list item. in your follow-up post's example, that'd be "REGION_LIST". scott was explaining how you could control the functionality on your page by adding conditions to things like...
:REQUEST = 'REGION_LIST'
...or using declarative Condition options like "Request = Expression 1" and then putting the string "REGION_LIST" in that Expression1 field. so in your case, you have a report region that you don't want displayed until the user's done selecting from your Subregion list. an easy way to handle that would be to add a hidden item (where "Display as" is set to "Hidden") to your page, for example :P1_LAST_REQUEST, to store the last value of :REQUEST. put a Computation on your page that populates :P1_LAST_REQUEST with :REQUEST each time the page is submitted. then put a Condition on your report region that makes it only render when :P1_LAST_REQUEST != 'REGION_LIST'. so this way your users can select a Region and have the page submit itself. the page will then redraw with the values of subregion list correctly populated (you'd presumably use :REGION_LIST in your subregion LOV query to achieve the filtered values) w/o your report region displayed. the user would then select a correct subregion and click some sort of "run my report" button. this time when the page redraws, :P1_LAST_REQUEST would be set so something other than "REGION_LIST" (it'd be set to whatever you named your "run my report button") and so your report region would display as desired.
hope this helps,
raj

How to update list item metadata?

I want to implement lists.asmx > UpdateListItems method. In the update method (the caml) i would like to use barcode as a filter instead of item ID. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms440289(v=office.14).aspx
How would my caml look like?
<Batch OnError="Continue" ViewName="CA28BFCC-4CCE-4EF8-B08F-7824535E13FC">
<Method ID="1" Cmd="Update">
<Field Name='BarCode'>6061114511</Field>
<Field Name="Title">New Title 2</Field>
</Method>
</Batch>

Hi ,
You cannot use barcode as a filter instead of item ID by using OOTB list.asmx. You could build your own custom web service that uses the either the SPQuery class or linq and gather the items based on
a particular field value.
For more information, please take a look at the thread:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/af23f9f0-2640-474c-9616-522fcb639029/listserviceupdatelistitems-update-reference-field?forum=sharepointdevelopmentlegacy
I recommend that you update list items with listdata.svc.

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.

Hi Viswanath,
If you are using People/User Type Field Column then use below code methord
SPUser user = web.EnsureUser(loginName);
item["UserTypeFieldName"] = user;
Lookup Type Field Column then use below code methord
public static SPFieldLookupValue GetLookupFieldFromValue(string lookupValue,string lookupSourceColumn, SPList lookupSourceList)
SPFieldLookupValue value = null;
SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
query.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='" + lookupSourceColumn + "'/><Value Type='Text'>" + lookupValue + "</Value></Eq></Where>";
SPListItemCollection listItems = lookupSourceList.GetItems(query);
if(listItems.Count > 0 )
value = new SPFieldLookupValue(listItems[0].ID,lookupValue);
return value;
item["LookupField"] = GetLookupFieldFromValue(lookupfieldValue, lookupSourceColumn, listName);

How to populate List Item from the table in a form builder

I want to know how to populate the List Item (pop up menu and combo box) from a table.
Supposing I have a table Customer(cust_id,cust_name)
and now I want to populate it in such a manner that I can update the data back to the database and also access the list on the form.

This is the method i am using to populate a list.
1- First of all you need to create a non-database list item for customer_name.
2-create this procedure
PROCEDURE populate_list_with_query
--Populates the given list item with the specified query.
(p_list_item in VARCHAR2
,p_query in VARCHAR2)
IS
/* Name the record group after the list item (no
block prefix). */
cst_rg_name constant VARCHAR2(30) :=
GET_ITEM_PROPERTY(p_list_item,item_name);
v_rg_id RECORDGROUP;
BEGIN
v_rg_id := FIND_GROUP(cst_rg_name);
IF ID_NULL(v_rg_id) THEN
v_rg_id := CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY(cst_rg_name,p_query);
END IF;
IF POPULATE_GROUP(v_rg_id) = 0 THEN
POPULATE_LIST(p_list_item,v_rg_id);
/* Force display of first list element label
in the list item. */
COPY(GET_LIST_ELEMENT_VALUE(p_list_item,1),p_list_item);
END IF;
END populate_list_with_query;
3- Create When-Create-Record on the block level and write this code
BEGIN
POPULATE_LIST_WITH_QUERY('bk1.customer_name',
'SELECT customer_name, to_char(customer_id) FROM customer');
END;
In this example, the customer name is the (visible) list label and the customer ID is the (actual) list value
i hope this will solve your problem ...

How to download list item attachment from display.aspx

Im uploading documents
to list item in list by
using file upload control. Now I should download that file. I can able to insert documents into list item in attachment column which is predefined but am how can I download the attachments by clicking on the link in display.aspx.
I have written this for uploadFile controller.

string fileName = Path.GetFileName(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName);
attachments.Add(fileName, contents);
newItem["CLMSAttachments"] = fileName;
newItem.Update();
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
It is your browser that decides to download/open the file.
If you have compatible client software for the file (word for docx) your computer will by default automatically try to open it.
But we can force the download. You have to develop a handler/aspx page that will just handle the file download and you have to override the http header "content-disposition" to "attachment;filename=yourfilename"
Here a sample :
var fileName = "myfile.sql";
var r = context.Response;
r.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName);
r.ContentType = "text/plain";
r.WriteFile(context.Server.MapPath(fileName));
Hope that will help you
