Limit on Task "Related Item" fields

Good Afternoon,
There is a field on a standard out of the box Task item in SharePoint 2013 Online called "Related Items" that a user can add links to related SharePoint items. There seems to be a limit of 9 items that you can add. After that,
new items that you add are not stored to the task, cannot be dislayed displayed and the Version history does not show any new items added after number 9:
Does anyone know if this limitation is documented anywhere and if there is a way to change the limit to a higher number? Is this limit applicable to all 2013 Tasks or just SharePoint Online?
Kim Frehe

Hi Kim,
I can't find any documentation about the "Related items" maximum items, based on the sp.ui.relateditems.js (located in 15 folder on SharePoint server on-premise) the Related Items used, I think the maximum 9 items of adding and rendering is hardcoded
in js file, it is hard or impossible to modify the js file. The limitation is related to "Related items" field, so it is applicable to all 2013 Tasks in SharePoint Online and On-premise.
Thanks

Related Item link is broken in DispForm.aspx for a task in Workflow Tasks list if file name contains " ' " (single quote)

Description:
We have created a custom workflow in Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 and SharePoint 2013. This Workflow is associated with a Document library.
This Workflow starts as soon as any new item is created OR updated in Document library and creates a Task in Workflow Tasks list.
Related Item link is not working in following scenario -
Upload a file that contains “ ' “
in its name, in a document library
Navigate to Workflow Tasks list
Open View Item form (DispForm.aspx ) of Task Created by workflow then click on link in Related Item fields
OUPUT:
Related Item link truncates after “ ' “
Eg.
Original Link: http://<Site URL>/Documents/te'st.txt
Related Item Field: http://<Site URL>/Documents/te
Is this known bug in SharePoint 2013 OR any hotfix available to fix it.

Hi,
As I tested per your description, I can reproduce the issue as well.
From what I have found out, it seems SharePoint resolve single quote into different code in different place. During the test, if I set Task Name to Document Name, single quote will be resolved to ' , if I set some field to Document encoded URL, single
quote will be resolved to %27 . For now, I haven't found out any article talking about this issue.
As workaround, we may find out a way to change the Related Item field. However, it is OOB field in workflow task (SharePoint 2013) content type, and this content type cannot be modified in form.
I'd suggest you add new column to get document url and place in the form in Task content type settings.

Webpart won't show tasks related to the list item

Hi
I have a 'Complaints' task webpart that's displayed under a (list) display form. The tasks are created by a workflow, when a complaint is created. I can get all of the tasks to appear in the webpart, but I can't filter it - I'm wanting the tasks relating
to the specific complaint to appear in the webpart, but I can't seem to get this to work.
I've tried several ways:
creating a new calculated field to extract the ID from the hyperlink in the 'Link' column (*ID='12'). In the webpart I connected the complaint 'Id' to the new calculated field.
Created a new calculated field to extract the Title from the hyperlink in the 'Link' column (*ID=12, 'Complaint against B & M Builders'). In the webpart I connected the complaint 'Title' to the new calculated field.
*Can't display the whole hyperlink for privicy reasons.
Any ideas how I can get this webpart to work?
There's a similar question 'Webpart to show related tasks', but the solution involves using Designer - I was wondering if it can be done at the front end.
Thanks

So if you're creating a task via workflow, put the current item (complaint) ID into the Task in a column called RelatedComplaintID. Then on the page, connect the two web parts together and bind ID to RelatedComplaintID.

Task List - Show Related Item URL in the EditForm.aspx

Hello guys,
I have a document library and a task list, I used a script to open the task directly in EditForm.aspx
(so the approve\reject buttons will be available directly on the form)..
what is happening is i'm not able to display (Related Item) link in the EditForm.aspx, it is available only in the DispForm.aspx.
Thanks.
Imad El-Qasem

Hi Rajani,
as simple as this, SP workflow is associated with the library, when the document status is "closed" Task will be assigned to a user.
in the tasks, the related item will appear only on the Dispform.aspx but not on the Editform.aspx.
how to display related item in the Editform.aspx task form
Thanks

Unable to set up the default value in custom object 10,related item section

Hi,
Please help me out for the below issue
Custom Object 10 we renamed to Quarterly Broker Review .In Quarterly Broker Review there is a related item section 'Activity'.
In Quarterly Broker Review ,Activity related Section ,After clicking on The 'New Task' button 'Account Name' field in Quarterly Broker Review(Parent ) should be prefilled in the Activity Section(Related Item Section) in Account Name Field
'Account Name' field is a Picklist Read Only field.
Since it is a picklist read only field i couldn't write the expression in the 'Activity' Related section under 'Account Name' field
you can also help me by reaching at '[email protected]'
Thanks,
Srinivas Merugu

Hi Srinivas,
As you know, you can refer to a field in a different object by using JoinFieldValue function. But this function is not available for all the object references. If you refer online help for JoinFieldValue function you would notice that from activity only CustomObjects 1,2 an 3 can be referenced using this function.
If this is possible for the activity and CustomObject 10 then you go to the field named Account Id in Activity object and set a default value. I guess in the parent object "CustomObject10" Account Id will also be stored in "Account: Integration ID". So this field value can be copied into the Account Id field of Activity.
Instead you could write a web service program to achieve this.
Thanks

How to show statistics of main item and related items with less filter?

Hi experts,
Have any of you come thro' similar requirements before?
To show the statistics of a main item in different aspect in a document and show the comparison of this item in a particular aspect with other related items as inputted at prompt.
You can image that, for the comparison, if I build another query for the related items, there will be duplicated dimensions, which we aim to avoid as duplicated dimension confuse end users.
However, if i build the main items and related items in same query, for those reports of main item only, I need to add a report filter one by one!
Any one of you have better idea?
Thanks and Regards,
Cherry

You Should use Formatted Search in this case.
You must create and associate a query for your field.
click on the field you want items to be listed and press Shift + F2
catch the keydown event of this field and check pval.charpressed = 9 (tab key press)
then execute
SBO_Application.SendKeys("+")

Urgent! Sales-related item?

Does anyone know where the field XUMSW (sales-related item) is checked when posting a vendor(yes, actually) invoice (FI-AR invoice)? Me and two co-workers are debugging a program when parking an invoice in FV60, and are about to come to a solution on an existing problem.. This field information is very important, but unfortunately a black hole for us.
Thanks,
Eaj

Thanks.
To be more specific; when is this indicator checked in the first place?
The function modules FI_DUPLICATE_INVOICE_CHECK checkes if the indicator is checked. But we need to know at what point the indicator is set in the first place.
CORRESPONDENCE_REQUEST/CORRESPONDENCE_REQUEST_POSTING unfortunately isn't relevant.

Help with parsing a text string in address book and moving it to 'related person' field

I am wanting to make a little applescript that will go thru my contacts and find data in the NOTES field and parse it slightly and move it to another field. (sorry if parsing isn't the right word here)
The data to be found is a GPS coordinate with this EXACT format:
<Lat:12.345678><Lon:-12.345678>
...the only thing different from this example is the digits, and the number of digits.
What I want to end up doing is deleting this data from the NOTES field, but leaving any other data, (this part sounds difficult to do to, to me!)
And moving it to a related person field with the label gps, and the coordinate now reading exactly:
12.345678,-12.345678
(FYI, you can copy/paste a coordinate like this very fast into the maps app on iPhone and locate it instantly)
Thanks for the help on this
If this is too complicated I can break up the process into steps. I know how to do some of it, but not sure about the parsing, and then delete just part of the notes field...
Thanks!

Hi,
This script work here, try it :
tell application "Address Book"
 repeat with thisContact in (get people)
 set tNote to note of thisContact
 if tNote is not missing value and "<Lat:" is in tNote and "<Lon:" is in tNote then
 set {GPS_value, newNote} to my getGPS_coordinate(tNote)
 if newNote is not "" then -- no error
 set gpsField to (related names of thisContact whose its label = "gps")
 if gpsField is not {} then
 set value of (item 1 of gpsField) to GPS_value
 else -- field "gps" is empty
 make new related name at end of related names of thisContact with properties {label:"gps", value:GPS_value}
 end if
 set note of thisContact to newNote
 end if
 end if
 end repeat
 save
end tell
on getGPS_coordinate(this_note)
 set oldTid to text item delimiters
 set {tLat, tLon, newNote} to {"", "", ""}
 try
 set text item delimiters to "<Lat:"
 set tLat to text item 2 of this_note
 set text item delimiters to "<Lon:"
 set tLon to text item 2 of this_note
 set text item delimiters to ">"
 set {tLat, tLon} to {text item 1 of tLat, text item 1 of tLon} -- get values (lat... and long...)
 set text item delimiters to "<Lat:" & tLat & "><Lon:" & tLon & ">"
 set this_note to text items of this_note
 set text item delimiters to " "
 set newNote to this_note as string -- delete GPS coordinate in this note
 end try
 set text item delimiters to oldTid
 return {tLat & "," & tLon, newNote}
end getGPS_coordinate

Item Field returning value with hash character in Itemupdating?

I am trying to get value of item field from the list. The field is a lookup field with integer value. When I am trying get the value it is coming like 9;#9 (shown below). But I need only 9.
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
SPList list = web.Lists["Project/Task Status Details"];
SPListItem item = properties.List.GetItemByIdSelectedFields(properties.ListItem.ID, "Project_x002f_Task_x0020_Status_");
int details = (int)item["Project_x002f_Task_x0020_Status_"]; //Error here
How get only value of it? not with hash.
ItsMeSri SP 2013 Foundation

Hi,
You can use:
SPFieldLookupValue fieldLookupValue = new SPFieldLookupValue(item["FieldName"].ToString());
int lookupID = fieldLookupValue.LookupId;

Order related item and delivery related item in one billing document

Hi Experts,
how can we include order related item and delivery related item in one billing document .
Please give me the configuration logic .

Hello,
1)Reference Document Number VBRK-XBLNR.
In transaction VTFA and VTFL at header level setup the field 'Reference number' so that it is the same (example 'E')
2) Payment Reference VBRK-KIDNO
It should be a consequence of the split, and not a cause. So you can ignore it
3) Billing date for billing index VBRK-FKDAT
In sales order and delivery you should set the same billing date. Alternatively, the the first screen of VF01 please set a Defailt billing date
4) Customer purchase order number VBRK-BSTNK_VF
It is necessary that sales order to be billed and sales order referenced to delivery to be billed have the same purchase order number. There is not other way.
5) Assignment number VBRK-ZUONR
In transaction VTFA and VTFL at header level setup the field 'Assignment number' so that it is the same (example 'E')
6) Translation Date
Same solution of point 3.
Best regards,
Ivano.

Populating configuration items: Computers, Services and People under Related Items tab in Computer CI form

Hi,
We have integrated SCCM and SCOM with SCSM to import the CI information in CMDB.
We are able to import few CI information from SCCM regarding softwares, OS, etc and from SCOM regarding hardware and discovered objects.
When we open the Computer CI in SCSM, we are able to relate almost all the fields from SCCM and SCOM expect Related items tab.
The Configuration Items: Computers, Services and People are empty under related items tab on Computer CI form.
Kindly please help me to understand regarding this related items tab.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
The Related Items is not automatically populated by any out-of-box connector. You can manually add related configuration items there. What were you expecting to show up under this section?

Import Substitute and Related Item relationship via Import Manager

Hi! I have been able to import parent/child relationship (captured in an Excel spreadsheet) via the Import Manager. I have tested with BOM and Sales Packages and it worked fine.
However, I now also want to be able to import relationship such as substitutes and related items and found out that this feature is not available in Import Manager. I cannot do this via matching in Data Manager as there is a similarity in the part number used. However, I guess it may be possible if I introduce a new field to somehow link them together.
Has anyone tried to do a mass load of relationships like these before? If so, would appreciate if you can share your experience in this.
Cheers!
SF

Have to import via Data Manager using a text file. It is important to note that there should be no blanks after the last header field and data line.

Create New Drag & Relate Item

Hi,
Is it possible for me to use a query I made as a drag and relate item ?
Otherwise I would like to be able to run the query directly off a purchase order ? Do I need to make a custom form for this ?

Hello Nick,
Is it possible for me to use a query I made as a drag and relate item ?
 Query and Drag and Relate are completely different things and I am not sure if you have gone through the functionality of Drag and Relate

Otherwise I would like to be able to run the query directly off a purchase order ? Do I need to make a custom form for this ?
 You can save the query and link to an existing field on the Form. Could you explain whats the query and what you really are looking to do.
A business example would help understand this.

Relation and field ( or relational field) between VBRP + VBAP

hi all,
can anyone pls tell me the relation and field ( or relational field)between VBRP + VBAP

Hi,
U can make use of VBFA (Sales document flow)table for this.
If you have the billing document number and item then provide them in the subsequent document (VBELN) and item(POSNN) fields of VBFA table and provide the preceding doc category as 'C' to get the sales order information.
Similarly if u have the sales order number and item then pass them to the preceding doc and item fields of VBFA and pass the subsequent doc category as 'M' so that u will get the billing doc number.
thasnks and regard
