HTML in task list

Hi,
I am writing html code in descriptive task of task list. when i open the task list in basic mode it shows me the html code instead of the html page.
please help

Hi,
Is this version 11 as I know it has changed the way description boxes are displayed, well it has with web form descriptions, in prior versions it displayed the HTML directly now it uses a HTML textarea so you can only enter text directly into it.

How can I move a task from a Summary Task to another Summary Task in the same task list?

Hey, I tried to move tasks through the SP UI from one Summary Task to other in the same task list, but I didn't find possibility for it.
Then I spent time to learn the SP Client Object Model and now I can read tasks form the list. I see every task has a "FileRef" and a "FileDirRef" field. If I think right these fields show the relation between list elements for example between
a Task and a Summary Task elements.
I changed these fields' values and I tried to Update the ListItem but I got this error message: "Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only."
I really need to move tasks what were created below a wrong Summary Task so please explain a method or pattern how I can do this. (I can create a new Task below to any Summary Task and I can set field values but I hope there is a way to really move tasks (I
mean I should change the right field values somehow.).
I can reach the Task List both on the server and client side so I'm very interested in every solution. PowerShell solution is also good for me.
I'm using SharePoint 2010 SP2.
Thank you for your answer and your time. :)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to move a task from one summary task to another in the same task list.
We can do it like this:
We can create a Gantt View for this task list, then copy your tasks inside a summary task, then navigate back to the other summary and paste, then go back to original and delete.
Here is another way for your reference:

Which URL to use to open a financial report from a Task list ?

Hi,
I've got a big issue in Hyperion Planning : I do not know which URL to use to open a financial report from a task list.
If I use the Smartcut (given when you do a right-click on the report, then Properties), a tab is opening (normal behaviour), but another tab is opening under the tab, which is very ugly, and moreover which prevent from using the PDF/HTML display icons !
Is someone know which URL to use to display correctly a financial report when opening it from a task list ?
It's an emergency, please help !
Thanks very much.
Virgile.
PS. : we use Internet Explorer 8 and we use 11.1.2.1 Hyperion Planning version

Hi,
OK, thanks, it almost works !!
I've just a problem. 2 tabs are opening.
One is opening correctly and displays my report. I can display it in PDF/HTML.
But another tab is opening with this message : This window can now be closed since the application has been launched in a separate window. Note: Popup blockers may prevent this application from working properly.
Do you know why this tab is opening ?
Thanks very much for your help.
Virgile.

SharePoint Provider Hosted App that can update existing SharePoint Task List

Note: I am unable to take advantage of the Microsoft.SharePoint library directly. Adding a reference results in a 32bit/64bit library mismatch error.
I have to find a solution that uses only the Microsoft.SharePoint.Client extension.
I am looking for example code where provider-hosted SharePoint App loads a SharePoint Task List View that allows users to interact with the tasks.
So far I have only been able to programmatically create and then load the SharePoint tasks list, create and populate a DataTable object and set the datasource of a GridView object to that DataTable.
I am unable to trigger my method linked to my checkbox within the gridview.
Ideally I would like to just customize a Task View that already has this functionality.
Here is my default.aspx.cs code-behind file:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data;
using SP = Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
namespace SPAppBasicWeb
public partial class Default : System.Web.UI.Page
protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
Uri redirectUrl;
switch (SharePointContextProvider.CheckRedirectionStatus(Context, out redirectUrl))
case RedirectionStatus.Ok:
return;
case RedirectionStatus.ShouldRedirect:
Response.Redirect(redirectUrl.AbsoluteUri, endResponse: true);
break;
case RedirectionStatus.CanNotRedirect:
Response.Write("An error occurred while processing your request.");
Response.End();
break;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
// The following code gets the client context and Title property by using TokenHelper.
// To access other properties, the app may need to request permissions on the host web.
var spContext = SharePointContextProvider.Current.GetSharePointContext(Context);
using (var clientContext = spContext.CreateUserClientContextForSPHost())
//clientContext.Load(clientContext.Web, web => web.Title);
//clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
//Response.Write(clientContext.Web.Title);
SP.ClientContext cc = new SP.ClientContext("http://server/sites/devapps");
SP.Web web = cc.Web;
SP.List list = web.Lists.GetByTitle("General Tasks");
SP.CamlQuery caml = new SP.CamlQuery();
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(caml);
cc.Load<Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.List>(list);
cc.Load<Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItemCollection>(items);
//try
//const int ColWidth = 40;
cc.ExecuteQuery();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("Task Name", typeof(string));
dt.Columns.Add("ID", typeof(int));
foreach (Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItem liTask in items)
DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
dr["Task Name"] = liTask["Title"];
dr["ID"] = liTask["ID"];
//dr["chkTask"] = liTask["Checkmark"];
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
GridView1.DataSource = dt;
GridView1.DataBind();
protected void chkTask_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
//add code here to update Task Item by ID
Response.Write("checkbox event triggered");
Here is my simple default.aspx:

Hi,
Please try to modify your code as below:
using (var clientContext = spContext.CreateUserClientContextForSPHost())
SP.Web web = clientContext.Web;
SP.List list = web.Lists.GetByTitle("General Tasks");
SP.CamlQuery caml = new SP.CamlQuery();
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(caml);
clientContext.Load(items);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
If the code still not works, I suggest you debug the code or following the blog below to create a Provider-Hosted App for SharePoint and read list items from SharePoint list.

Viewing HFR reports in the same window via task list url link

Does anyone know how to render an HFR report inside the Planning application or even in Workspace when referencing the report's url through task list? This is with version 11.1.1.3. It doesn't seem like this version allows the task list to be built to pull up the report within the Planning application window, or even as a separate Workspace tab. I also want to be able to switch from pdf or html preview when viewing the report, but this option isn't allowed when opening the report via task list. A separate pop up appears for the report, which isn't what I want.
Anyone know of a fix or workaround?

This sounds like part of your issue :-
9549216 - Instead of a new tab, a new window displays after you create a Financial Reporting task in Workspace.
Fixed in patch 11.1.1.3.02

Add JavaScript file to ALL existing Task List pages and to newly created list pages

We have several OOTB task lists that are in use on several subsites. We want to add JavaScript to the NewForm.aspx and EditForm.aspx for these task lists. These lists have not been customized, they are based on the standard Task Content Type.
Since there are several lists already created and in use, it would be far too much work to manually add a Content Editor web part to each page.
We put the JavaScript file in the top-level site style library.
Is there a way to programmatically attach a script reference to each existing page in all the subsites AND have the script reference placed on any NEW list pages created from the OOTB Task content type? Or, add a CEWP to all existing list pages using a feature?
I could not find any examples of this.

Hi,
A solution would be like this: Add your script into a Content Editor Web Part in a page, then add this Content Editor Web Part into the NewForm page of these Task lists using
SharePoint Object Model.
More information:
Use
SPList.Forms property to retrieve the URLs of the specific form of these Task lists:
http://sharepointcore.blogspot.com/2011/08/sharepoint-listitem-new-edit-and.html
With
SPLimitedWebPartManager object, we can retrieve the web parts of a page, choose one and add into another
page:
SPLimitedWebPartManager.WebParts
property
SPLimitedWebPartManager.AddWebPart
Another two links about this for your reference:

Image in task list instructiuon

Hi,
Ho to put image into task instruction (in task list)?
I have instruction in html. Fragment of code that suppose to show image looks like that:
<img src="Images/logo-ucb.gif" width="215" />
Best regards,
Greg

Sorry for the delay. We reproduced the error; your use case is somehow causing a flash.events.Event of type 'change' to fire, and since the 'change' type collides with mx.events.IndexChangeEvent's type, this generic Event is not expected by one of the handlers for IndexChangeEvent in the Workspace code, thus the coercion exception.
If you're into rebuilding Workspace from source, you can begin to fix this yourself as I'll explain shortly. Mind you, the results are not stellar even with the fix... Otherwise, I'll recommend you avoid the images idea until this is fixed.
To fix this yourself in 8.2.1:
a) open lc.layout.WorkspaceTabNavigator.as
b) locate function viewChangeHandler (line 76), and change the method signature from (event:IndexChangedEvent) to (theEvent:Event). You may have to import flash.events.Event.
c) wrap the contents of that function in an if-block, defining variable event in the process, as follows:
var event:IndexChangedEvent = theEvent as IndexChangedEvent;
if ( event != null ) {
{existing function contents here}
d) Recompile and redeploy the workspace-runtime.swc file.
Beware of the build scripts if your change doesn't seem to make a difference: the shipping build scripts have been reported to only include a subset of the files, files that have to do with theming/skinning Workspace.

Formatting descriptive task list

Hi All,
In version 9.3 we have option to format the task list font (like bold, change color, italics) and even insert a picture in it. But when i try to format a task list in 11.1.2, it does nto show the required result.
In other words i am unable to format the task list in v 11.1.2 by using the same steps that are used in 9.3. Can somebody tell me how can i do it?
Regards,
Umair

In version 11 they took the ability to add html commands away from the forms and task lists, it is because the instructions are now in a html textarea which do not allow html functions.
Though saying that in a patch for 11.1.1.3 (11.1.1.3.03) it looks to be reverted back :- 9475065 – Users cannot use HTML commands in data form and task list instructions.
It has not made its way to 11.1.2, maybe it will in a future release or patch.

When i click on the attached form task the messege appears The Folder is Empty.

Workflow task list is missing or damaged. SharePoint 2010

SharePOint 2010 Enterprise
Customer created workflows for the annual review of our QPC Emergency Plan.
The document library shows that there is a EP_Review workflow “In Progress” for each section.   However if you click into the “In Progress” link to see the actual progress of the workflow it shows no Visio diagram, it’s just a blank white
space (not even an error message) and under the Tasks section it gives the message:
"The workflow task list is missing or damaged. Please contact your administrator for more information"
I looked in the Task List and there are no tasks showing, which normally does show when we kick off a workflow.
I ran a report on the EP_Review workflow for Cancellations and Error messages and the system comes back with the following error message: "Report contains no Data"

Hi mikeatquestar,
it seems you may need to check if should the task able to create at your environement,
you may try this at your development environment first:
Saved a task list as a template from a working site collection and moved the template to the problem site collection. Used this template to create a new list, and associated this list to the Workflows task list.

Create task from conversation thread in news feed - Task must be created in custom task list

Hi All,<o:p></o:p>
Have a new requirement
were user should be able to create a task for himself from a conversational
thread in News feed.<o:p></o:p>
In
SharePoint 2013 we have a functionality where we can follow up on a
conversation and it creates a task in My Tasks which is in My site.<o:p></o:p>
But my requirement
is to create a task in Tasks list in same site collection on click of follow
up.<o:p></o:p>
I have
tried one approach as below :<o:p></o:p>
My Tasks in
My site is an aggregated view of all tasks assigned to the logged in user. When
i follow a task in News feed a personal task is created in My task
(WmaAggregatorList_User internal name) list. When i Edit the personal task and
change the Projects
drop down to the required Project Name and Check -"Make this task public to project
members" it just creates a task is specific Site and moves
the task.<o:p></o:p>
I tried to
find if Projects and Check box are columns of Task list , but did not find any
columns.<o:p></o:p>
I am trying
to create a event receiver which would make these columns be set to Site Name
and check box checked so that when user creates a task it will directly move to
Custom Task list.<o:p></o:p>
Please
guide <o:p></o:p>
Thanks in
Advance<o:p></o:p>

Thank you for your responce. I used a content query wp to rollup only the Major Milestones, but am unable to overlay the results to a calendar.. The link you provided is for overlaying different task lists onto a calendar, but does not detail how to
overlay the results from the content query onto a calendar.

SmartView Task List not opening FR report

I am trying to open FR report from a Task List task in SmartView (using Planning provider). If I am already logged into my Planning application in browser, the report opens. But if I am not logged (e.g., browser is closed), an empty page opens in browser, and at the bottom is status "Done" but with the error icon.
Is there a way (URL format) that would enable user to open report from SmartView Task List without having to log to Web client first?
Environment: EPM 11.1.2.3.500, FRS 11.1.2.3.503.0917, browser: IE 8, Excel: Office Professional Plus 2010
Thanks,
M. Sladic

Celvin, Ramkumar, thanks for your suggestions. My colleague, Soumyajit, discovered that the original method (URL) needed to be replaced.
Here is the original URL we used (this one was opening report twice on first open, and didn't open report from SmartView unless user was already logged to Workspace):
** https://i<server>/workspace/WorkspaceLaunch.jsp?uri=module%3Dwksp.relatedcontent%26repository_path%3D%2FReports%2FStatement%2520of%2520Financial%2520Statement%2520-%2520Expandable
Instead the right call is:
https://<server>/workspace/index.jsp?module=tools.relatedcontent&repository_path=%2FReports%2FFinancial%20Statement%20-%20Expandable
Using this other URL, the report:
- when open from the Tasks List, opens only once even the first time;
- opens in Workspace without additional login when opened from the Task List in SmartView
Note: We are using variant of OAM, maybe that has some impact to it. Not my area of expertise, though...
HTH,
Milos
