Square brackets for list column validation disappear when saved

Hi,
I have a Title field which is a required field. I tried to put some user message in the Column's validation setting when the field is not filled in.
It should be very simple. But everytime after I put in the =IF([Title]<>"",TRUE,FALSE) in the Formula and save it, the Formula becomes =IF(Title<>"",TRUE,FALSE) when I come back.
The column validaton doesn't use the user message. Please advise...
Thanks in advance.

Looks like the required field can't take custom user message.
It works on non-required fields.

List Column Validation Formula for Text

I want to use the List Column Validation to prevent users from entering a period "." into a text field. If they try to save the list with a period in the text field the message would be displayed. What formula syntax will allow me to do this?

Bob,
You are correct, the validation formula needs to evaluate to true (valid) or false (invalid). We could simplify the above even further by using =ISERROR(FIND(".",Title)). The reason we can remove the "IF" portion of the formula is because
ISERROR is already returning true when the FIND function fails to locate a period in the Title.
The IF statement comes in handy at times and it takes 3 parameters. The first is an expression to evaluate, the next is a value to return when the expression is true, and the last is a value to return when the expression is false. Let's
say you wanted the opposite and enforce all Titles to include a period. You could change the above formula by simply reversing the position of the true/false values of the IF statement as follows:
=IF(ISERROR(FIND(".", [Title])),FALSE,TRUE)

What is reason for this message, and how can we suppress it. Where should I set the system.message_level to suppress this message.

The reason is you press a key that cannot be used, e.g. duplicate record cannot be used in enter query mode.
You cannot suppress this message, even with message_level 25. If you code this for key-duprec, you will still get the message:
:system.message_level := 25;
duplicate_record;Forms intercepts the error at a very early stage. Even this didn't suppress the message:
if :system.mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' then
null;
else
duplicate_record;
end if;

List data validation failed when creating a new list item but does not fail when editing an existing item

Dear SharePoint Experts,
Please help.
Why does my simple formula work in Excel but not-work in SharePoint?
Why does this formula...
=IF([Request Type]="Review",(IF(ISBLANK([Request Date]),FALSE,TRUE)),TRUE)
...work in Excel but fail when I try to use it in SharePoint?
The intent of this formula is the following...
If the field "Request Type" has the value "Review" and the field "Request Data" is blank then show FALSE, otherwise show TRUE.
SharePoint saves the formula, but when a list item is saved where the formula is implemented, (under List Settings, List Validation), SharePoint does not, say anything other than that the formula failed.
Note that the "list data validation failed" error only happens when I am creating a new item-- the formula above works just fine when one is trying to Save on the edit form.
Can you help?
Thanks.

Dear Jason,
I appreciate your efforts.
However, it seems to me that this statement of yours is not correct...
"If it meet the validation formula, then you can new or edit the item, otherwise, it will throw the 'list data validation failed' error, it is by design".
I believe this is NOT the answer for the following reasons.
When I create a new item and click Save, the validation error is "list data validation failed".
When I edit an existing item and click Save, the validation error is "my custom error message" and this is, I believe, the way it needs to work each time.
I think, at the core, the error my formula does not handle some condition of null or blank or other default value.
I tried a forumla that casts the date back to a string, and then checked the string for a default value, but that did not work.
I tried looking up the Correlation ID in the ULS when "list data validation failed" occurs, but that gave no useful information because, even though logging was set to Verbose, the stack trace in the error log was truncated and did not given any
good details.
However, it seems to me that SharePoint 2013 is not well-suited for complex validation rules, because...
SharePoint 2013 list-level validation (NOT column-level validation) allows only 1 input for all the multi-field validation formulas in a given list-- so, if I had more than 1 multi-field validation rule to implement on a given list, it would need to be packed
into that single-line-of-code forumla style, like Excel does. That is not practice to write, debug, or maintain.
SharePoint 2013 list-level validation only allows 1 block of text for all such multi-field validation rules. So that will not work because I would have something like "Validation failed for one or more of the following reasons-- withdrawal cannot exceed
available balance, date-of-birth cannot be after date-of-death,... etc". That will not work for me.
The real and awesome solution would simply be enhancing SP 2013 so that column-level validation forumlas are able to reference other columns.
But, for now, my workaround solution is to use JavaScript and jQuery, hook the onclick handler on the Save button, and that works good. The only problem, is that the jQuery validation rules run before any of the column-level rules created with OOTB
SP 2013. So, in some cases, there is an extra click for the enduser.
Thanks,
Mark Kamoski

Square brackets around list items

I'm seeing a square bracket after each list item that is displayed inline-block. How can I remove this? It's only happening in Firefox.

Could you provide the URL to the site? Is this your website? Can you try safe mode:
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

Need code for this Small validation on when-validate-item

Hi All,
I have a text item(date datatype) in forms 4.5 I need to do a small validation want to write on when-validate-item. When I enter a date in that text item (Ex 10-JUN-2005) it has to check
1) It Cannot be "blank"
2) It cannot be "Not older than today"
can you please put me code for this small validation. I am new to Forms.
Thanks in Advance,
Reddy

I always put code in the when-validate-RECORD trigger to ensure fields are entered, rather than setting the property. That way, the user can enter other fields within the record, and then gets a message that the field is required only when leaving the record.
...of course, if the date item is the only field in the block, then the when-validate triggers will not run unless the user at least types a space in the date. In that case, you need to check in the key-commit trigger.

How can one make the drop down list of bookmarks disappear when selecting an item?

I want the list to close automatically when selecting a bookmark to open the page (as it does with favourites in Internet Explorer 8). Is it possible to set this up or does the list always have to be closed manually?

I am closing this prompt as now I am seeing that it is getting refreshed.

Excel sparklines disappear when saving the file.

Sparklines that I created in Excel 2011 disappear after saving them and reopening the document. I tried saving it in .xlsx and still nothing. Does anyone have a suggestion to fix this problem?

As Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
Office for Mac forums
Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

An issue whereby Photoshop .PSD files disappear when saved to a network file share

It has been reported and reproduced by Support, an issue whereby Photoshop .PSD files disappear when they’re saved to a network file share.
Upon initial investigations Support have observed the following behaviour when saving a Photoshop file.
The document is initially saved as a new file on the file share.
The original .PSD file is deleted on the file share.
The newly created file is renamed to the same name as the original file.
An issue often arises when steps 1 and 2 complete however step 3 fails. When a file is reported by users as having disappeared, the new file created in step 1 can be renamed from .00_ to the original *.PSD file name on the server as the *.00_ files are normally hidden by the desktop operating system. This allows people to see and open the file from both PC’s and MAC’s using AFP and SMB protocols.
A related issue often reported by users is that they receive an error message “Could not save as” when trying to save a .PSD file. Troubleshooting the issue confirms that the user is able to save the file if they perform a “Save As” operation in Photoshop.
From the reported problems and observations there is clearly an issue with how Photoshop performs a file save operation further exacerbated by the fact the process doesn’t fail safely.

Sounds like you're hitting one of the known MacOS filesystem bugs - worst when working with SMB volumes.
Apple knows about this, and we are pursuing workarounds to the OS bugs.
Yeah, if you value your files, don't save directly to servers, especially on MacOS.

Layers disappear when saving in CS6

My layers disappear when I try to save in Photoshop CS6. They disappear when I get to the last step before saving(where you can select the quality and stuff). The effects stay, but they become kind of crappy. I've no idea how this happened either. I was just working on some pictures one by one, and then suddenly, it started happening. I did nothing differently.
Reinstalling didn't help either. What the hell is going on?

You're seeing normal behaviour/results. Most image file formats do not support layers and there can be subtle to huge differences in the display of a layered doc versus its flattened composite because Photoshop uses imprecise shortcuts to generate the composited display of a layered doc. The display discrepancies can be minimised by viewing at 100% zoom.
While working on a document, check adjustment layers, effects and layer blending with zoom at 100% so there are no nasty surprises lurking in the doc. (Of course, I realise that there's a very good chance that you may be viewing only a small region of an image when zoom is 100%.)
Regarding the JPEG save in particular: when you are at the stage of picking quality/compression, there is an option of previewing the result of the compression. JPEG doesn't support layers, hence the flattened composite at that stage. Your open doc will still be layered after you commit the save.

TableView - support for frozen columns and rows when scrolling?

Hi,
Is there support in JavaFx 2.0 for having certain columns or rows "frozen" when scrolling horizontally/vertically (so that these columns aren't scrolled)? Something similar to Excel's "freeze panes" functionality or Jidesoft's TableScrollPane header/footer rows and columns?
If not, does anyone have examples of how this could be done?
Regards,
Frode

At present this is not a feature that is offered in JavaFX 2.0. It is something that we do want to support in a future release however.
For the time being I'm not sure if there is a way to easily implement this, however if you want feel free to email me and I can try to research it further when time permits: [email protected]

The column browser disappears when i try to resize it

This is weird. If I open iTunes, I can adjust the size of the column broser by grabbing the bar and dragging it up and down (to see more or less artists, etc). However, when I start playing a song and try to do this, the column browser animates away, as if i had turned it off. What is happening? I'm running iTunes 10 on windows.

by god you're right!
I double-click to play a song, then click on the bar and the column browser goes away.
but if after double-clicking to play a song I highlight a different song, I am able to adjust the window size as normal.
still seems like a bug, but this is a helpful solution for sure. thanks, rmscott!

APEX 3.0 Displaying the URL link for a column value ( only when not null )

Consider the example :
I have the following table with a column that may have urls to documents
Row Column ( url_column )
1 http://xyx.com/doc/doc1.pdf
2 http://xyx.com/doc/doc2.pdf
3 (null)
How do i display the column so that a the link shows up only if a value exists.
Setting the URL to #URL_COLUMN# in the 'Column Attributes' screen creates a problem when the value is null ( for Row 3 in above eg.)
Thanks for your help

I would handle it in the query itself, something like
select x, y, z,
       decode(url_column, null, null,
                '<a href="'||url_column||'">'||
                 url_column||'</a>') as url_column
from wherever

I have lost my most important iphoto library. I have several different photo libraries that use and the one that I have been using for this entire year disappeared when I switched back to look at photos from an old library, please help, thank you.

I have also tried searching for them in finder and going through the trash, i have had no luck yet and confused on where they might be.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see in the iPhoto window when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library normally located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
how much free space on your boot drive?
If you launch iPhoto with the Option key held down you'll get a window with all libraries that iPhoto an find. What do you see in that window?
If you select a library in the window it's location will be shown directly beneath that window.

"Subscriptions limit reached for same user" validation error when trying to create a subscription to a product - wha can cause this?

Hi,
I've created a third product level called "partner" other than the two that come as standard.
I'm running through the process of taking an existing user from the starter product to the partner product, and am subscribing the user to partner before removing the starter subscription. There seems no problem with a user having both a starter and unlimited
subscription, but am getting the following error when subscribing to partner.
"Subscriptions limit reached for same user"
This is using a subscriptions put. The same code works fine when upgrading to unlimited.
What can cause this?
Andy

Hi Miao,
The function to promote someone to partner is:
public async Task<ActionResult> ToPartner(string id)
//add partner subscription
var prodId = await APIMHandler.GetProductIdFromName("Partner");
var subscriptionId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
//set apim role to partner
var partnerId = (await APIMHandler.GetGroups()).First(a => a.name == "Partners").id;
await APIMHandler.AddUserToGroup(id, partnerId);
if (await APIMHandler.SubscribeToProduct(subscriptionId, id, prodId))
//disable starter subscription
await ApimDelegationController.HandleFreeSubscriptionRemoval(id);
//set local role to partner
await UserManager.AddToRoleAsync(id, "Partners");
return RedirectToAction("Index");
Where subscribetoproduct is:
public static async Task<bool> SubscribeToProduct(string subscriptionId, string UserId, string productId)
//The REST API and the delegation are inconsistent in how they represent ids.
if (!UserId.StartsWith("/users/"))
UserId = "/users/" + UserId;
if (!productId.StartsWith("/products/"))
productId = "/products/" + productId;
var client = new HttpClient();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.TryAddWithoutValidation("Authorization", "SharedAccessSignature " + CalculateAcessToken(ApimIdentifier, ApimPrimaryKey));
var uri = ApimBaseUrl + "subscriptions/" + subscriptionId.ToString() + "?api-version=" + ApiVersion;
var response = await client.PutAsJsonAsync(uri, new { userId = UserId, productId = productId, state = "active" });
if (response.StatusCode == System.Net.HttpStatusCode.Created)
return true;
if (response.StatusCode == System.Net.HttpStatusCode.Conflict)
var error = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
return false;
if (response.StatusCode == System.Net.HttpStatusCode.BadRequest)
var error = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
return false;
var errorf = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
throw new Exception(string.Format("Error in SubscribeToProduct: return status {0}. Content: {1}", response.StatusCode.ToString(), errorf));
The status code is "BadRequest" and the error provided earler is returned.
So at this time the user is added to the "partners" group, but I can't subscribe them to the Partner subscription, which is accessible to members of the partner group.
Andy
