I have a custom list. Each item in the list has 39 fields/columns that need to be filled out and a 40th field that gets filled out by a separate workflow.
I have another workflow that I need to trigger if any of the fields change EXCEPT for one.
Why? Because that field has a custom ID# in it and that field gets populated AFTER the form is submitted. Therefore, there will ALWAYS be a change in the list item. Thus, I need a workflow to trigger when any fields change EXCEPT the one w/ the custom ID#.
Any ideas? Thank you.
No one has been able to answer this but I figured it out myself.
I'm including the answer here in case anyone else ever comes across this and finds it helpful:
Create a new field that you will hide from the your SP list and from NewForm.aspx, EditForm.aspx, and DispForm.aspx.
Using jQuery, populate that hidden field as such: $(":input[Title='fieldName']").val("1");
The using an SPD workflow, check to see if that field = 1. If so, run the workflow. AND at the end of that workflow set the field to 0 - that's important.

It is written in docs, that
The <Field/> will rerender any time the field state it is subscribed to changes.
So, if I'd have several Fields, all of them will be re-rendered, while changing only one of them.
Are there any ways to prevent re-renders of other Fields, that are not changing at the moment?
Yes, that's because your entire form is rerendering. Your question is exactly the reason that Final Form was designed from the ground up to allow fine grained render control.
Here's a video of me explaining it last month.
Check out this example of how to do it.
Another workaround is to use React.memo (react version >= 16.6.0)
Make each input field a separate component an wrap it in memo.
export default React.memo(MyInputComponent);
If you are passing values down to MyInputComponent, pass only the needed prop value not the whole form data object.
<MyInputComponent value={formData.myValue} />
This way the MyInputComponent will re render only if formData.myValue has changed.
I have a custom field in Jira and I want to set the value on the field to match the current user.
This seems as though it should be fairly easy, but it has stumped me. I have trawled for information and have been led to using post functions.
Post functions don't seem to actually pre-set the value of fields on the create issue screen unfortunately? I am able to set a value which appears on the issue once it is created using a post function but I cant seem to find a way to set the value on the form itself.
Is this possible?
There is Default Values for 'Create Issue' screen plugin which seems to be doing exactly what you want.
I'm sure this is an easy fix but I can't seem to find it. I just have a form, that will be a subform of another, that needs to display the results of a query.
The query is simple enough, just displays all fields of records that fall between specified dates. The query works great, but when I attach it to the form as its record source it doesn't display the data. I can see the correct amount of record selectors so I know its understanding the query but its as if all fields are hidden!
I have also tried building a query to the forms record source that was simply Select query.* From query. Oddly I have had this working before but I had to specify every field. What I mean is:
Select title From query
Select type From query
Select date From query
...
And so on for all the fields but this seems foolish, can anyone think of what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Edit, forgot to mention I also tried the foolish solution that I mentioned above and it didn't work so its definitely some issue that I'm not seeing, some property that's probably not appropriately set
#sshekhar well its not really code at the moment I'm using Access 2010. I have a form that needs to display a subform that executes this query of displaying records that have a data field that fall between dates specified by the user. The query works and displays the correct records, but the form that it is attached to only shows the record selectors and all the fields appear to be "hidden." I thought it may be one of the form's properties set incorrectly but I checked on the test form from another database that I used and each have what appears to be identical settings. So I'm at a loss!
So it turns out even though I using a query that holds all the fields it will not display the content unless you go to the Add Existing Fields and add all the the fields you want to see. This seems really silly especially when the results in the query but at least its working now.
I had this problem and discovered that having the property DataEntry set to YES will only display new records. From Microsoft Help:
You can use the DataEntry property to specify whether a bound form
opens to allow data entry only. The Data Entry property doesn't
determine whether records can be added; it only determines whether
existing records are displayed. Read/write Boolean.
We have a few bugs and change requests which have a complicated iteration path. This results in people coming over the team to ask 'Where do we raise items' a lot.
As you can't set a default value for the iteration path in TFS 2010 we think the best solution would be to add a string of text under the field which we can manually update every 7 weeks with the correct area to raise items in.
However TFS doesn't seem to allow just a line of text on its work items as a control. Is there a way to add a line of display text i.e. Not a field you edit, but just to inform those writing the items?
Please note that it needs to be visible at all times, using the tooltip 'help text' field on a control is not enough in this case.
You can use the LabelControl for this purpose.
You can not have a default in the work item for the iteration path, but what you can do is making use or the template url in web access or the work item templates in the power tools to create a work item that is prepopulated with values.
What about a custom field with a display control in read-only? You can give a default value to the field and the "read-only" control prevent other to change it.
I'm looking to create a report with similar that has a checkbox next to each row. Each row has some fields that are editable (such as comments). What I'd like is to give the user the ability to check off which rows he/she would like to update by selecting the checkbox next to that row. Then I'd have a save button at the bottom of the form that only updates the rows that have a check box active next to it.
I'm pretty new to rails and web programming in general so any advice/direction you might be able to give me should prove helpful.
A popular way to achieve this is to :
1- All your checkboxes should share the same name.
2- All your checkboxes' values should be the ID of the row/object
3- When you POST the form, only the checked checkboxes are in the POST data. Retrieve those IDS and only update these objects.
For example, your checkbox should be something like :
<%= check_box_tag "row_ids[]", row.id, false, :id => "row_#{row.id}" %>
Then, in your controller :
Row.find(params[:row_ids]).each do |row|
# do whatever you want
end
Well you can do this, but it adds more work for the user: they have to check off multiple checkboxes before hitting Update. It be nicer if they just hit Update and it worked.
The basic idea is you want the user to just click Update and your code only updates records that changed.
What you can do is store (in a hidden field tag) the ID of each row's record. Then when you update, you loop through all rows and you grab (based on the ID stored in the hidden field) the record from the database. Let's say only Comments were editable. Then you can check to see if the comments have actually been changed (like with a simple string comparison) and if they have, update it. If more things are editable, then you can check them too before deciding if you need to update or not.
That is a high level description, but let me know if you want some more implementation details.
