How to update a People and group field using a sandbox solution

Hi,
I am creating a sandbox solution for office 365 and creating a custom form using visual web part, which will allow users to enter data in a custom list.
And that list also have a user field. I am able to get SharePoint user field on the form (using javascript) which is searching for the user and get a value (working fine).
Issue: But I am not able to save the user value. Because to save user value I require web, UserID and login name, to construct SPFieldUserValue object or string in "111;#TestUser" format. Moreover that user should be present in
SiteUserInfoList.
I tried web.EnsureUser() but did not work under sanbox solution.
Can you please provide any pointer or workaround to the problem? I may be missing something here.
Thanks,
Himanshu

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update the people and group field in Sandbox solution.
In the sandbox solution, you can still use the web.EnsureUser() function to get the user information, see the thread below:
EnsureUser in sandboxed solution
In additional, there is a demo with your similiar requirement for your reference:
Using the People Picker Control in Sandbox Solutions / Office 365
Thanks

Thankx in advance..

First declare the header and item structure to pass the values to FM. Now the values that you enter in selection screen are captured in internal table. So you can loop this internal table and pass the values to function module item and header details.
EX:
Decleration
DATA: PO_HEAD TYPE BAPIMEPOHEADER,
           PO_HEADX TYPE BAPIMEPOHEADERX,
           PO_ITEM TYPE BAPIMEPOITEM OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
           PO_ITEMX TYPE BAPIMEPOITEMX OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
           COUNT TYPE I VALUE 1,
           RETS TYPE BAPIRET2 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
Pass the values to po_head po_headx po_item po_itemx.
loop. selection screen internal tables
append . Append the internal tables
endloop.
now call the bapi and pass the values.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PO_CHANGE'

Known limit for how many characters can be entered in the To field when adding People and Groups ?

I am running MOSS 2007 SP1. I browse to site settings > People and groups and a group which has more than 60 members. I select all > Click Actions > Email Users. Nothing happens. I select less users, new outlook window comes up as it should. I am running outlook 2007. I first thought that the limit was 50 users, but different user selections let me select 51 users as well. I then concentrated on the character limit and I noticed that there were about 1580 characters in the To field when I selected 50/51 users.
Is there a known limit in sharepoint/outlook client for this function on how many characters can be entered in the To field?

Hello Amar,
This is a by-design behavior, not from SharePoint side, but Internet Explorer. The limitation by the 2083 characters in IE for the Max URL length is described in the following KB article:
(KB208427) Maximum URL length is 2,083 characters in Internet Explorer
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;208427
As a workaround, you may need to divide the list up and not send all the email at the same time. Hope it helps!
Best Regards,
Lionel

Hi Tim,
Let’s verify the followings:
Whether this issue occurred for other lists in the same site.
Whether this issue occurred for all users who don’t have full control.
Whether this issue occurred on other sites.
When you created the people & group column, which show field did you used? Please try to use a different show field for the people & group column, compare the result.
In addition, please check if the link is useful:

People and Groups not appearing in Address List

We have an Exchange 2013 deployment running on Windows 2012 Standard servers. Some of our people and all our groups are not showing up in the Outlook Address Book on people's client application. This despite the fact that "hide name from address book"
is unchecked on these people and groups.
This affects both those running Outlook and OWA.
Any idea how I can go about troubleshooting this?
----------- Ron E Biggs Chief Tech Officer Entertainment Studios

Hi,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following things:
1. Outlook in cached mode automatically updates the offline address book on the client every 24 hours. The 24-hour time period is measured from the time that the offline address book was last downloaded successfully. So sometimes new users can't be displayed
immediately on Outlook.
2. If you would like to show the dynamic distribution groups in “All Groups”, you can use the following cmdlet.
Set-AddressList -Identity "all groups" -RecipientFilter "(RecipientType -eq 'MailUniversalDistributionGroup' -or RecipientType -eq 'MailUniversalSecurityGroup' -or RecipientType -eq 'MailNonUniversalGroup' -or RecipientType -eq 'DynamicDistributionGroup')"
Here is a helpful thread for your reference.
Let the dynamic distribution groups be shown in “All Groups”

Our requirement to send email to multiple users, get the user groups from lookup list people and groups column.
But SP designer sending emails to the first user alone.
Please guide me to proceed.
Advance Thanks.
Regards
Jenkins NS
Thanks and Regards Jenkins

finally I got a solution
Identified a workaround to solve the issue using SharePoint designer.
Step 1
Create a lookup list Example department
Columns
Title (by default) – Single line of text
Users – Person or Group
Emails – Multiple lines of text
hidden the Emails column (go to content type and set the column as hidden)
Create a SharePoint designer Workflow
Start Workflow automatically when an item is created
Also Start Workflow automatically when an item is changed
Workflow Stage 1
Set Emails to current Item: Users
The workflow will get all users email ids and add in the Emails column delimiter as semicolon.
Step 2
Create a custom list to get the email ids and send email
Create a lookup column ex: analysis and refer department list, Allow multiple values
Then Create a SharePoint designer workflow

People and group column become empty on EDIT ITEM

Hi,
I have 3 people and group columns(Peopleonly type) in my custom content type and list definition from the content type. When I EDIT an item from the list , the values in the 3 people and group column dissappear(meaning the fields are shown empty). Has
anybody come across this behaviour. Any solution/workaround ?

Hi Vipul,
Did this only happen to the EditForm.aspx page of that custom list ?
Is this EditForm.aspx page customized ?
Please also check whether there are some related errors in 14\LOGS.
Please re-create another new EditForm.aspx page using the SharePoint Designer 2010, then check result again.
Thanks

Site administration link "people and groups" link breaks if you delete the excel services viewers group

Creating a HNSC using powershell, the default groups are not created. Used the UI method of creating the default groups.
However, if I delete the "excel services viewers" group, the site administration link "people and groups" breaks. I have attempted to "set the default group" again, after creating the "site default groups" as
mentioned above, but still no luck.
Anyone seen this? Should it be reported as a bug?
Joshua Fuente

Hi Joshua,
For troubleshooting your issue, you can create the default groups using the following PowerShell script and see the result:
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
$currentUser = "$env:USERDOMAIN\$env:USERNAME"
$siteCollectionUrl = "http://manasbhardwaj.net"
$siteCollectionName = "Manas Dev Site"
$webApplicationUrl = "http://manas"
New-SPSite -Url $siteCollectionUrl -OwnerAlias $currentUser -Name $siteCollectionName -Language 1033 -HostHeaderWebApplication $webApplicationUrl -Template sts#0
$web = Get-SPWeb $siteCollectionUrl
$web.EnsureUser($currentUser)
$web.CreateDefaultAssociatedGroups($currentUser, "", "")

please help me

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to set "peoples or groups" field with current user "login name" in SharePoint list form using JavaScript.
To set "peoples or groups" field with current user "login name”, you can use the below code:
<script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.9.0.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function SetPickerValue(pickerid, key, dispval) {
var xml = '<Entities Append="False" Error="" Separator=";" MaxHeight="3">';
xml = xml + PreparePickerEntityXml(key, dispval);
xml = xml + '</Entities>';
EntityEditorCallback(xml, pickerid, true);
function PreparePickerEntityXml(key, dispval) {
return '<Entity Key="' + key + '" DisplayText="' + dispval + '" IsResolved="True" Description="' + key + '"><MultipleMatches /></Entity>';
function GetCurrentUserAndInsertIntoUserField() {
var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var web = context.get_web();
this._currentUser = web.get_currentUser();
context.load(this._currentUser);
context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onSuccess),
Function.createDelegate(this, this.onFailure));
function onSuccess(sender, args) {
SetPickerValue('ctl00_m_g_99f3303a_dffa_4436_8bfa_3511d9ffddc0_ctl00_ctl05_ctl01_ctl00_ctl00_ctl04_ctl00_ctl00_UserField', this._currentUser.get_loginName(),
this._currentUser.get_title());
function onFaiure(sender, args) {
alert(args.get_message() + ' ' + args.get_stackTrace());
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(GetCurrentUserAndInsertIntoUserField, "sp.js");
</script>

How to compare table data and table field

Hi buddy,
    I have some question about how to compare table data and table field.
   1. I know there is one method:   CL_ABAP_UNIT_ASSERT=>ASSERT_TABLE_CONTAINS , it use in unit test to compare the table data(A and B) , you can loop table A into structure A1, then use this mehtod it can compare whether table B contain structure A1. but when I try to use this in main program it will dump.
          CL_ABAP_UNIT_ASSERT=>ASSERT_TABLE_CONTAINS(
                                                                                                    LINE    = A1
                                                                                                    TABLE = B ).
       Is there any method or FM can be used to compare the table data ?
    2. I also want to compare two table field , try to find out the different. How to realize this.
Thank you for your sincerely answer.

Hi Zongjie,
What`s the difference, if you using loop A into wa_A, read table B into wa_B with all field, then compare with wa_A and wa_B.
The question 2, seems no standard FM available here.
Loop A into wa_A.
   Loop B into wa_B.
       if wa_A-field1 eq wa_B-field1.
       endif.
        if wa_A-field2 eq wa_B-field2.
       endif.
   endloop.
endloop.

Archer
