SP Designer 2010 - Saving custom list form impacts other list and other custom list form

Hi,
I have a source list, with custom display, edit and new forms all of them created in SP Designer 2010. These do nothing fancy, just for presentation purposes, fields were re-arranged in 2 columns.
Then I created a target list by saving the source list as template, the template brought over all customizations, all seemed to work fine. So I started to modify the target custom list forms.
Now here's the problem:
After a while making changes to the target list I realized that somehow the custom list forms on the source list had been modified... so I opened the source list in designer and noticed that the out of the box forms: NewForm.aspx, DispForm.aspx, EditForm.aspx
were now the default forms for the source list, and I couldn't pick my custom list forms to be the default forms for the source list anymore, they were not on the listbox. I could still see them by going in designer to All Files > Lists > SourceList
> and if I previewed them, they were empty. 
I believe that somehow source and target list are linked, but why would designer allow making changes to the source list? like resetting the default forms, and breaking up the custom list forms that were in place?
I've verified list id's in the custom list forms of the target list and they belong to the GUID of the target list. I don't see anything else that could potentially point to the source list.
SharePoint Designer 2010 version: 14.0.7007.1000 SP2 14.0.7015.1000 I don't think this matters much because I've tried with other SP Designer 2010 versions and the error is the same.
thanks for your reply!

Hi alec,
When I create a custom EditForm1.aspx and set as default for a source list, then save this list as a template, then the newly created the target list based off this saved template, the source list still uses the custom EditForm1.aspx form as default
form, from SharePoint designer, I can see these two lists have different listID, so they have no connection when I edit any one of them.
Please recreate a new list with custom form page and save as template, then create a new list see if this issue could be reproduced, or we can create a new list instead if it is an isolate issue.
Thanks,

  • Pass Values to Edit Form thru Query String and Save in List

    I have developed a custom Edit form from SharePoint Designer and I am passing values thru Query String as below;
    http://<>/cli/acc/Lists/GIInfo/testEdit.aspx?ID=262&com=POD_Send
    And, user supposed to save the form directly without changing the values came thru Query String as below. 
    Now, issue is, when user saves the form, values is not getting saved. It saves when we change the value in text box or when we do a text change event in form. Becasue data binding says Text Change even in data binding property.
    __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('u',concat('ff22',$Pos),'Text','TextChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@Actions')}"/>
    Kindly guide me what is the issue, or correct approach to do that? I want to pass values to Edit Form thru Query string and save in List without changing those.

  • HT4859 I have 2 phones saved on iCloud, one is old phone and other is new. How do I restore my old phone data from iCloud to my new one?

    I have 2 phones saved on iCloud storage, one is old phone and other is my new one. How do I restore my old phone data from iCloud storage to my new one?
    It shows like 4.3GB is stored on my old and 105.9MB on my new. I want to restore the 4.3 to my new, how do I do that please?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You will need to restore your phone and when prompted use the backup that you made yesterday.
    Before you do so, you may wish to change your wife's iCloud login details, otherwise you may find that you then overwrite her data. She should have her own iCloud account to avoid this.

  • Customizing the text of next,back, and submit buttons in form guides

    Hi,
    We are preparing some forms in Turkish language. So, we need to change the text of next, back and submit buttons in the form guides. Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks for your help.

    This can be done via Flex Builder.  There is a good Next panel button example in this guide:http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/fggettingstarted.pdf.  I believe you can also control the text via the style sheet applied to the guide.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <!-- Specifies that the button should only be enabled if the current panel is
    not the last panel, and if a user clicks the button the form guide retrieves
    the next panel in the hierarchy. -->
    <mx:Button click="{panels.selectedIndex++}"
    enabled="{panels.selectedIndex &lt; panels.length-1}"

  • Interactive form on mobile devices and other PDF viewers

    Hello! I made an interactive PDF, which i first made in InDesign. It's basically built up like this: There are fields with a picture and text which go to transparency 0% when i go over them with the mouse and then you can see the background. I dind't have problems in Acrobat Pro and the Reader on PC and MAC, but when i open the PDF on a mobile device, even Adobe Reader, i can't use these effects. When i tap just short on the screen it marks the field for like a second and when i leave my finger longer on the touchscreen it shows me some options like making a signature and so on.. Is there any way to get this interactive effect going on mobile devices? And could it be that the interactive form only works with Adobe software? because I tried it with a preinstalled version of a Windows 8 PDF Viewer and the only thing that worked were the links i set to some websites.

    hi Vidyadhar,
    The Adobe Reader was installed in handheld. It can open standalone (offline) pdf document. But it would appear error when display dynamic generated adobe form in browser.
    Thanks.

  • GT70-0NC custom bios questions (avoid GPU Throtthling and other stuff)

    Hi,
    For a long time I wanted to have my own custom BIOS, but I wanted to know a few things about it's personalization :
    First, is there a way to have a better fan behavior for a recurrent "cpu & gpu throttling" problem solving when I don't active the fan boost (that makes too much noise... so I can "game on" in silence with bad framerates... or I can enjoy an avionics turbine for good framerates) by changing my BIOS?
    Secundo, my system have the raid unused (I got the 2 ssd's separated, first one for the system, the other one for my games, that gives me better loading times than the raid), so I would like to have a bios that wouldn't mind this, is that possible?
    Troisièmement, I cannot give much for the donation, is there a respectful minimum? (mp if needed)
    Then finally, I would like to have a custom image for the BIOS, what should I do to change it?
    BIOS infos :
    EC Version :1762EMS1 Ver 4.05
    BIOS Ver. : E1762IMS.30P
    IGFX VBIOS Ver. : 2126
    MEFW Ver. 8.0.0.1351

    yes its possible, but try MSI's version 1st:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162629.0
    then based on this and your feedback we can set the FAN in desired new conditions.

    not sure what you mean, if you don't use raid then just leave it as is. no need to switch to non raid version

  • Saving TGA with straight alpha (not premultiplied) and other weird stuff

    Is there a way to save the alpha channel not premultiplied in a tga as I need straight alpha ... ?

    cheers

    RGB to Grayscale make sense but shouldn't create that much noise ...
    When copying from the red channel to the alpha channel, in the same file,  I got those value as shown in the graphic and that's not gamma
    But opening the image in any other software will be as the rgb value was. That means that editing value directly in the alpha when you need the exact value is impossible. That why we have to copy it from the red channel to the alpha channel to have the exact value

  • Unable to change and re-publish existing InfoPath forms on External SharePoint lists (SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Online and On Premise)

    Hi everybody,
    I really reached the limit of my diagnostic ability... ...please help me!!!!
    I subscribed an Online Sharepoint 2013 Development site to try Business Connectivity Services and InfoPath forms. Using SharePoint Designer 2013 I successfully created an external content type
    and an external list, including InfoPath forms.
    When I use InfoPath Designer 2013 to customize the forms I can open and change them without any problems, but when I try to publish the changes I made I get the following error:
    "An error has occurred. The form template has been published to the server but it can only be opened using InfoPath filler"
    (please note that I changed just an existing label, without adding any new control or new fields).
    If I try to do exactly the same things but with an normal SharePoint list everything works like a charm!
    I noted that the main difference between the internal/external list is that with the internal list the publishing path in InfoPath 2013 is something like:
    https://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>
     whereas for the external list is something like the following:
     https://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>/item/template.xsn
    Trying to overcome the problem I installed SharePoint 2013 Enterprise on premise using the VM from the Windows Azure Gallery. In this case the error I get when I try to publish with InfoPath
    Designer 2013 is the following:
     The following URL is not valid:
    http://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>/item/template.xsn
    and of course everything works fine with InfoPath Designer 2013 and regular SharePoint lists.
    Even if I believe the problem is in general with external list and InfoPath, my external list is based on a the "Product" table from the "AdventureWorks2012" sample database
    installed on SQL Azure and connected to SharePoint via Business Connectivity Services.
    A big
    thanks in advance to anyone who is able to
    provide useful information to solve the problem!!!

    Hi Folks,
    Same issue here for any external list. We've migrated from 2010 to 2013 - it used to be fine on 2010. 2013 seems hang after 'getting site column information' then nothing. All effected users can quick publish to regular sharepoint lists, but cannot to external
    lists.
    In our situation we are trying to quick publish to sites using the 2010 look and feel in a 2013 environment. using SharePoint Designer 2013 and InfoPath 2013.

  • SharePoint Designer 2010 and Visio 2013 Issues

    I currently have Visio 2013 and SharePoint Designer 2010 installed.  I have two problems that I'm experiencing and any help would be greatly appreciated.
    1. I'm able to export an already manually created workflow from SharePoint Designer 2010 as a .vwi file without a problem and am able to import the file into Visio Pro 2013.  I
    was also able to export the file from Visio once changes were made.  However, when I go to import the file into SharePoint Designer I receive a message stating "This workflow cannot be imported because it was created in SharePoint Designer for a
    different site, or the original workflow has been moved or deleted.  To move a workflow between sites, use Save as Template (.wsp file) instead of Visio workflow drawing."  I cannot figure out how to save it in the format the prompt is suggesting
    as this is not available from the list of Save As options from Visio and when exporting from Visio the only format to do so is as a Visio Workflow Interchange (.vwi file).  When exporting from SharePoint Designer I’m only able to export as a .vwi file
    and the Save As option is not available in SharePoint Designer.  Additionally, the file location where I exported from SharePoint and importing back into SharePoint is not changing, nor is the file name. 
    2. If I create a workflow from scratch within Visio utilizing the SharePoint 2010 shapes, I'm about to export without a problem and save as a .vwi file.  I'm also able to import this workflow into SharePoint Designer, but the problem is the workflow
    never actually shows up and I do not receive any errors.
    Any help on either or both of these issues would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Use Visio 2010. You may be running into a compatibility issue between Visio 2013 and Designer 2010.

  • Parallels + Autodesk 3Ds Max design 2010

    Hey! I recently downloaded 3ds max design 2010 (student trial, 6mth lease if it matters) and it downloaded successfully onto my computer. I currently have autodesk autocad 2008 student version which works perfectly fine. When I go to run the 3ds max, it starts up normally and then roughly 30 seconds later parallels shuts down completely and gives a 'fatal error' message apologizing for the shut down and asks to have a written reason as to what happened to send off (which i doubt actually does anything). Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't understand why it keeps occurring, i've tried to restart it like 10 times and it happens every time. Thanks!

    Hi all,
    I received a response from the tech development side of
    Autodesk on the Max 9 and
    Shockwave 3D issue.
    The reply was a little different to the one I posted before.
    I have been told it was
    not a mistake but an incompatibility with the higher bit
    functionality of Max 9. So
    that's why it was removed. But it is temporary.
    Was told:
    "This problem has been flagged and is currently being worked
    on.
    We will have some service packs sometime in the near future.
    Cannot disclose a date
    at the moment."

  • Oracle client and... Forms&reports client?

    Hello, to all; may be you could help me:
    I have installed a Oracle 9.2.0.6 database in PC-1, in PC2 I want to install the oracle client and the forms and report client... (I mean, PC2 is the PC where I will copy my Forms 6i client/server application and the idea is to put an direct access icon on the desktop to a .fmx... to be able run my application)
    I've already insalled the Oracle client, only runtime version (I think 9.2.0.1, which was included in the oracle database installation cd's) but .. I need one more thing.. because I can't execute forms.. I need ifrun60.exe I think.. Where is it? Is there any forms & reports 6i client or similar? or is necessary to install the developer 6i (I don't think so.. but...)
    Thank you very much
    Jose.

    I was reading lots of post and I've seen this two from 2001 related to Forms 5, I suposse they're applicable to Forms 6i?
    Forms Client Runtime : where are you ?
    Enviado: 27-sep-2001 15:34 Responder
    Which version can I install as a pure client version of Forms 6i on a light desktop ? Is there a Forms client runtime like there was with the versions 5.0 and earlier, which we could use just to run a Form, without using any web server, Forms werver, nor using the extra/inter/intra-net ?
    Thanx for your help !!
    Eric.
    re:Forms Client Runtime : where are you ?
    Enviado: 27-sep-2001 17:58 en respuesta a: eheede Responder
    Yes there is. Just choose Form/Report Server installation and choose customs. There you can choose Form or report runtime only (under Forms and Reports tree node) and click on install!
    Remember to choose customs install so that oracle installer bring you the list of the component.
    Do you agree? Could it be just begin the Forms&reports installation and after that.. Chosoe custom.. an choose to install runtimes?
    (I'll try tomorrow and I will say the result here) I hope it works!!
    Thanks

  • When I update a second row in my form I lose connection and chrash

    Hello everyone out there,
    I have a problem, and it is becoming a big problem.
    When I run my form on the web, using the 6iserver, I can update a row and commit it without any problems. If however I update another row and commit this, I get a couple of FRM-40733 PLSQL error BUILT IN DBMS_ERROR_TEXT failed Then an unhandled exception and finally I get ORA-03114 Connection lost. This is reproducable every time and seems to be occurring in al forms I generate new since a week or two! I don4t know of any changes of the enviremont on the development side.
    The error doesn4t occur on when running the form client server!
    Oracle database version 8.1.7.3.0
    9ias version 1.0.2.2.2
    We use Headstart version 6.5
    I truly hope someone knows more about this problem!
    Martijn Veldhoen

    OK - we still need to know what line this is happening at.
    As a minimum, you can put in a few message lines message('Got to line10'); etc etc So you know the line which is
    causing the problem
    Once you estanlish this - try and remove all other code and items on the Forms so that it still reproduces - this way you
    have the smallest (and simplest) reproducable test case.
