Sharepoint 2010 - Cannot make field Required in Add New Item form.

I made a fleld Required by making the proper selection in List Settings > Editing the column. It now shows as required when I edit an existing record in the list, but is not required when adding a new item. Why does the setting not apply
to the Add New Item form? How can I make it apply/required?
btw, there are no content types associated with the list.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you cannot make field required in the list new form.
For my test, I created a custom list , added a non-required field and added some records. Then I made the field required. But it worked fine as expected both in existing records and in Add New Item
form.
Do you have some customization in your list new form?
You can go to your list -> Customize Form under list tab, then the new form will be opened in the InfoPath. In the InfoPath, right click the field and select Text Box Properties, make sure “Cannot
be blank” has been checked.
Best Regards,
Eric

How to make fields required in an updateble multi line form?

How to make fields required in an updateble multi line form?

You need to create a validation item that is triggered when the user clicks the submit button.
Set the validation type to "Function Returning Error Text".
Then add your validation into the "Validation Expression 1" field. Something like:
BEGIN
FOR I IN 1.. HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F02.COUNT LOOP
IF HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F02(I) IS NULL THEN
RETURN 'Please enter in a value for xxxxx on line ' || TO_CHAR(I,'0');
END IF;
END LOOP;
RETURN NULL;
END;
As long as the function returns a string, an error is generated - as there is no single field where this error can be displayed, it will need to be displayed "On Error Page".
If the return value is NULL, then the fields are valid and the submit process can continue.

Crystal Report not listed Add New Item for Visual Studio 2010

I just finished installing cryestal report for visual studio 2010.
During the installation a visual studio error dialog popped up "Operation cannot be completed. Access Denied", the crystal report installation continued and was informed that the installation was successful.
But on opening my visual studio project to add new item, crystal report item is not listed there.
Is there anything that needs to be done to get it listed in the Add New Item dialog for visual studio?

I wonder what file you ran to install CRVS2010? Was it the MSI as opposed to the actual install file?
The link to the correct install is here:
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_13_0_2.exe
Is that the file you ran to install CRVS2010? E.g. as opposed to:

How to disable Add New Item in SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I want to disable the Add New Item button after the user created one item in SharePoint 2013.
Is it possible to disable?
Please reply
Thank you

I'd do it creating a custom web part that would mimic the list web part, and have logic in there that makes sure to hide the button once an entry by the current user has been made in the list. You could also create a workflow that would remove the user's
permission to add a new item on the list upon creating an item.

Cannot add new items to a value list in AW database

I have a database which I have been using for many years. One of the fields is a value list. I just went to add another item to the list, and no matter what I do, the Create button is grayed out. I have another value list in the same database that works fine.
There are currently 170 items in the value list that is causin the problem, but I didn't think that there was a limit to the number of items that can be is a value list. (At least there is nothing in the AW technical specifications to indicate thin. I duplicated the existing database, deleted about 20 items from the list, then saved the file, and reopened it, and still cannot add new items to that value list. Does anyone know what might be causing the problem?

Oops
I read too fast.
Here is a short script which may help.
Replace the pop-up item by a text one and edit the property myList in my script to fit your needs.
Select the field to fill and run the script.
Then choose an item in the displaid list. It will be pasted in the selected field.
This trick would give you to work with a "no limit" list of items.
-- [SCRIPT DB fillFieldFromAlist ]
Assuming that
the front document is a database one
and that a text field is selected,
run the script to select an item in a list
and paste it in the field.

Hi,
The “Add new item” button will redirect users to add new item with the default Content Type of the current list.
So a workaround can be like this: We can change the default Content Type of this list every time when users open this list view page, then the “Add new item” button will work
as you expected.
Here is a link with code demo about how to programmatically set a content type as default content type in a SharePoint 2013 List:
http://www.ashokraja.me/tips/How-to-programmatically-set-a-content-type-as-default-content-type-in-a-SharePoint-2013-List
We can put the code into a Visual Web Part and add it into your two views, then when users open a list view page, the code will be executed to change the default Content Type
of the current list.
To develop a custom web part, you can take a look at the links below with steps in detail for a start:

JQuery Tutorial needed to customize Add New Item and Edit Item forms

Hello,
I need a tutorial to use JQuery to customize the UI Screen of SharePoint to add a new item in a list.
since I don't have prior UI experience it will be nice if the tutorial is specifically targetted towards customizing the automatic form which is presented by sharepoint when we try to add an item to a custom lists.
val it: unit=()

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize the New Item and Edit Item forms using jQuery.
The following examples for your reference:

Change value of a control in a list item new or edit form depending on the page level view Add New Item being clicked.

I have a list which has a underlying infopath form for insert and edit a record.
The list has various views spread across different pages .
Now depending on different pages "New Item", a value for the form will have a corresponding value.
If there is a single line of text control in the list, and depending ona page name, the value for the single line text should be autofilled when Add new item is clicked.
How do i achieve that?
Thanks...

Hi,
According to your description, there are several list views in your list, there is a textbox control which holds the “Single Line of Text” type of data in your custom
form. When users click the “Add new item” button in one of the existing list views, you want the textbox control in the custom form to be populated automatically.
By default, when user clicks the “Add new item” button in a list view, the URL of the custom form page will contain the name of that list view page, thus, a workaround
which requires custom code can be like this:
After the form page loaded, we can extract the name of the list view page from the URL, then populate it into the textbox control immediately. This can be achieved
using jQuery.

get URL parameters of current page using jQuery:

User exit in sales order to add new item condition

Hi,
Our business requirement is to add new item conditions in an order (VA01/VA02) using ABAP coding. Has anyone done this before?
I'm thinking of using USEREXIT_NEW_PRICING_VBAP in MV45AFZB ?
Thanks.
Edited by: William Lawlor on Jul 8, 2008 12:19 PM

Hi,
This exit USEREXIT_NEW_PRICING_VBAP in MV45AFZB is used only to determine or not a new price calculation according to a modification of specific field (ex : if shipping condition is changed, then new price determination).
To add new condition type, you can used requirement in pricing procedure (V/08) with condition formula.
What is the condition to add this new condition type ?

Passing Multiple Selected List Items to a "New Item" Form in Another List with Multiselect Lookup Field

Hi!
Version Info: SharePoint 2013 Server Standard (*BTW...I do not have access to Visual Studio*)
I have two lists, let's call them
-Assets
-Asset Checkouts
"Assets" is the parent list, and "Asset Checkouts" has a lookup column (multiselect) which is tied to the serial # column in the "Assets" list.
Basically, what I need to accomplish is this: I would like to be able to select multiple list items in the "Assets" list, and create a new item in "Asset Checkouts", and pre-fill the multiselect lookup column in the NewItem form
for "Asset Checkouts" with the values from the selected items in "Assets".
Any ideas or suggestions on how to do this would be most appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi,
According your description, you might want to add new item in "Asset Checkouts" list when selecting items in "Assets" list.
If so, we can achieve it with SharePoint Client Object Model.
We can add a button in the "Assets" list form page, when selecting items, we can take down the values of columns of the selected items, then click this button which will create
new item in "Asset Checkouts" list with the values needed.
Here are some links will provide more information about how to achieve it:
Use
SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems() Method to get the list items being selected
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff409526(v=office.14).aspx
How to: Create, Update, and Delete List Items Using JavaScript

Add ListItem with Lookup Field using Client Object Model (ECMA)
http://notuserfriendly.wordpress.com/2013/03/14/add-listitem-with-lookup-field-using-client-object-model-ecma/
Or if you just want to refer to the other columns in "Assets" list when add new item in "Asset Checkouts" list, we can insert the "Assets" list web part into the NewForm page
of the "Asset Checkouts" list, then when we add new item in the "Asset Checkouts" list, we will be able to look through the "Assets" list before we select values for the Lookup column.
To add web part into the NewForm.aspx, we need to find the button "Default New Form" from ribbon under "List" tab, then we can add web part in the NewForm.aspx.
In the ribbon, click the button “Default New Form”:
Then we can add web part into NewForm.aspx:

Lookup field not rendering like drop down in New Item form

Hi
I have been making a page to add new item to a list, for this i am using new item form.
I am having a two lookup fields in that list of which one contains more than 20 items and other only 3.
My first problem is that first lookup renders as a text box ONLY in IE 9 mode(nothing appears even when you click on the down arrow), but when I change the mode to IE 8, the rendering changes to a textbox + ajax + filtering list instead of the simple drop
down list control.
BUT FIREFOX AND OTHER BROWSERS RENDER PROPERLY AS A SIMPLE DROPDOWN.
I have read several blogs about this, but could'nt find a simple solution.
Anyone has any idea on this?
thanks!
