Hello I have a custom list with multiple workflows and a customized infopath form. I am getting an unexpected error on some of the list items when I try to edit them. I can view them just fine but the error is occuring on edit for some items.

I am also able to edit the same item that I am getting the problem with from the datasheet view but just not with infopath form.

I use the USL to view the correlation error and it just said leaving monitored scoped.

I also tried saving the list as a template and creating a new list from the template and then creating a new item in that list and got the same error. Please help.

We are using SharePoint Foundation 2010.  The SharePoint functionality that changes a regular dropdown to a lookup when there are 20+ values was working on our production site until very recently and then inexplicably stopped.


a)    If a dropdown contains less than 20 values, SharePoint generates this element using a  <select … /> element with <option />.  See below.

<select name=Name_Client title=Name_Client class=abc-xyz id=Name_Client>
       <option value=0 selected>(None)</option>
       <option value=140>DropDown 1</option>
       <option value=141>DropDown 2</option>
       <option value=142>DropDown 3</option>
       <option value=143>DropDown 4</option>
       <option value=144>DropDown 5</option>
       <option value=145>DropDown 6</option>
       <option value=146>DropDown 7</option>
       <option value=147>DropDown 8</option>
       <option value=148>DropDown 9</option>
</select>

b)    If a dropdown contains more than 20 values, SharePoint automatically generates this element using an <input … /> element. See below:

<input name=”lookup-name” title=”Client class=ms-lookuptypeintextbox” id=”lookup-id” style="DISPLAY: none" onkeydown="CoreInvoke('HandleKey')" onkeypress="CoreInvoke('HandleChar')" onchange="CoreInvoke('HandleChange')" onfocusout="CoreInvoke('HandleLoseFocus')" type=”text” value=”(None)” choices="(None)|0|LOOKUP 1|140|LOOKUP 2|141|LOOKUP 3|142|LOOKUP 4|143|LOOKUP 5|144|LOOKUP 6|145|LOOKUP 7|146|LOOKUP 8|147|LOOKUP 9|148|LOOKUP 10|149|LOOKUP 11|150|LOOKUP 12|151|LOOKUP 13|152|LOOKUP 14|153|LOOKUP 15|154|LOOKUP 16|155|LOOKUP 17|156|LOOKUP 18|157|LOOKUP 19|158|LOOKUP 20|159|LOOKUP 21|160|LOOKUP 22|161|LOOKUP 23|162|LOOKUP 24|163|LOOKUP 25|164" match="" optHid="SPClient_Hidden" opt="_Select">

However, for some elusive reason, this suddenly stopped working in our production environment - which, in turn, broke other functionality contingent upon this behavior.  There were no new changes made to the production environment since the time when it was last working and now.  Also, the behavior is still working perfectly in our development environment. 

We have even scoured line by line comparing production and dev to see if there is anything that is different that could be causing this but have found nothing.  The only differences were the IDs used which is as expected.  We’re thinking it must be something environmental as we haven’t been able to find anything within the code or even the size of the SharePoint sites that would explain the sudden change in default behavior.

Has anybody else run into this issue in the past?  I wasn't able to find any reference to this specific issue searching with google and in multiple forums.

Thanks.

Hi Folks,

I have been working on sharepoint from quiet some time now. I have been using managed metadata service also.

What I have not been able to find out so far is when should I be using MMS.

What are the real advantages that I can draw out of it.

I have one application that has Managed Metadata installed and has various terms stores and terms. 

The Managed metadata service  created is utilized in search,

What I do not know is what is why are we using it at all. 

What is benefit of it.

Managed metadata service could also be used in navigation is what i know.

But what confused me is when is the best scenario to use it for navigation.

Why can we not use the navigation provider in the managed metadata service. 

There might be other uses also, but that is not clear to me.

Can any one tell me why and in which scenario to really use it.

I know how to configure the mms and how it works though the jargons around the managed metadata.

Regards

I'm trying to take the hyperlink title of an ExcelWebpart (TitleURL), change it, and upon clicking, making the link open in a dialog OR at least another window without changing the window already open. I found an article that uses jquery,



www+.moresharepoint.net/2014/12/web-part-url-title.html

However, I can't get this to work. One thing is, my webpart resides on a Custom webpart page. Not sure if this makes a difference. I tried putting a Content Editor on the page, placing the code there, but nothing. I tried placing the code directly in the WebPart page (at the bottom):

</tr>



</table>

(I placed the JS code here)

</asp:Content>

Actual Webpart where I changed the title URL:

<WpNs0:ExcelWebRenderer runat="server" AllowRemove="True" ... TitleURL="pasted my page URL here" ... </WpNs0:ExcelWebRenderer>

BUT, nothing happens.

I tried placing a Content Editor on the page and calling the JS but nothing happens.

Hi All,

I have a SharePoint workflow Tasks list which is having 100000 items in it.  How can I take the back up of the list with content?

The below three options working fine when the list size small.. but how to get the backup of the large list with content?

I tried the below three options.

Option 1: Tried to save the list as a template.. but it failed due to the list size.

Option 2: Using power shell... The below command given me the list skeleton. actual content in the list is missing

Export-SPWeb -Identity http://servername/sites/Test/ -Path C:\bakTasks.cmp -Itemurl  "/sites/Test/Lists/Tasks"                    -IncludeVersions All -CompressionSize 50

stsadm -o export -url "http://servername/sites/Test/Lists/Tasks" -filename  "C:\bakTasks.cmp" -includeusersecurity -versions 4 -cabsize 50 

Option 3: Using central administration UI..

In all the cases I am only getting the  list skeleton not the list data

I am not able to take back up of this list. can anyone help?

Dear All

I'm having issue applying custom branding to SharePoint 2010 sites.. Branding works overall fine but it doesn't apply to few pages.

For example if I click on Enterprise and Metadata Keyword Settings in Document library the changes are not applied. I notice it's a page called metadatacolsettings.aspx in layouts and I see it references application.master.. Similarly I see couple of other pages out of sync and all of them have application.master as Master Page..

Any ideas why this could be happening.. Please let me know

Thanks

Hi

I am new to the SharePoint development. I was trying to create a visual web part asa a sandbox solution but it is not working as expected.

I am trying to get all the list titles in a dropdown and then onclick of a button I will display the selected list title in a text box.

This is the code snippet of the ascx file.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

                  
                var sweb = SPContext.Current.Web;
                DropDownList1.DataSource = sweb.Lists;
                DropDownList1.DataTextField = "Title";

                DropDownList1.DataBind();
            
        }

        protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           
        }

        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            
           
                var sweb2 = SPContext.Current.Web;
                SPList listname = sweb2.Lists[DropDownList1.SelectedItem.ToString()];
                TextBox1.Text = listname.Title;
            
        }

Current Output:

It is populating all the lists in the dropdown but after clicking the button it always shows the first list name i.e "cache profile" in the text box.

Desired Output :

1) It will show the selected list title in text box after clicking the button not always the first list title in the drop-down list. 

2) After clicking the button it does not refresh the whole page to show the output in the text box.

Please assist.

Hi

I am site admin of SharePoint Community site. I am unable to see business data web parts on my page. I searched for it and found the solution that I need to activate SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features.

I activated this feature. But then also Business Data web part option is missing. I also found one solution to activate BizApps Site Template feature. I am not able to find this feature in my Site Features.

Is it possible to add Business Data web parts on community site? Please suggest me how this can be handled?
