I have an app which tracks help desk tickets and allows admins to assign users to them. The trouble when trying to save changes to the details screen, the 'Assign To' combobox clears itself and isn't saved in the sharepoint list.
The app uses a sharepoint list 'Mail Tracker' as the primary datasource, and the 'Assign To' combobox is pulling names from Office365Users. Within the sharepoint list 'Assign To' is of type 'Person/Group.'
Any help or insight into the problem would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Someone from another forum had the answer. I needed to use Choice('Mail Tracker'.'Assign To') as the sharepoint list was already able to populate the list with all the required users.

I'm new to sharepoint (working with the 365 version).
I have a list that will be available across multiple pages within a site to collect data on project updates.
As I'd like to avoid having to create a separate list for each page and at the same time remove the need to manually populate a "Project Name" field I'm looking for a way to populate that field automatically based on the page name (title).
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks

I am creating a new column in SharePoint for attachments. To setup this new column the type of information needs to be "File Upload", yet I don't have that as an option. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You
You can just enable/disable attachment for list, while you could custom list form for users to upload attachments instead of OOB ribbon.
Here are two demo threads.

Is it possible to create a Drop-down list in InfoPath which connects to Active Directory and fills the list with UNIQUE Department Values only (no repeating ones)
I need this for an InfoPath so when a user entering the data can pick one of the departments listed in the drop-down. Any help would be appreciated.
I've had a look at the people picker control, which works great for User names, but the department field is a separate field and has nothing to do with the user I pick, so I simply need a control which is populated by the unique Department codes in AD.
Any help would be appreciated.
You should really contact your administrator for this sort of information. You do not want a form to query every AD user to pull their department and get the unique values just to populate a drop down list. It is very possible to obtain the list of unique directories, however you should work with your administrator to populate this data to an XML web page or other similar solution and then connect your form to THAT data source through the form. The point is you are missing a step of obtaining the queried data.
With that said you can obtain the department of the user by querying the get user profile service to obtain the department name, elinating the need to even create a populated drop down list. See this article.
I would like to know how I can filter a SharePoint library list based on current user login.
Suppose I have created the followings:
1) A SharePoint form library containing bunch of uploaded InfoPath form data.
2) The InfoPath form template contains a promoted text field called "TargetUser" to store user domain login (ex: DOMAIN\JOE) and every InfoPath form file in the library has a valid domain name stored in the "TargetUser" field.
I have created a custom view for the form library and would like to filter this view so only items whose "TargetUser" field matches current user's login ID are displayed.
I went to Edit View page to customize the view and tried to use the [Me] function but I got a "Filter value is not a valid text string" message instead when clicking OK. Apparently [Me] returns a Person/Group data type and the filter cannot compare its value to that of "TargetUser".
I tried using other text functions (ex: TEXT([Me],"") hoping to extract default string value from [Me]. The filter accepted the parameter without any error but the resulting fitlered list does not display any items at all.
I have googled this subject but I have not found any solution.
It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can help me to create a functional filtered list.
And FYI, my SharePoint 2007 installation is just WSS 3.0 + Form Server. I do not have MOSS 2007 (so no MOSS 2007 web parts or web services).
Thank you.

Is there any reason your TargetUser field is a text field instead of a People or Group field?
The [Me] identifier can be used to filter list items based on a People or Group column, but not on text fields.
Well. It looks like no one here has the answer.
Nevertheless, another user on Technet forum has a very good solution.

Good Morning,
I have a Form Library on my SharePoint site. On my form I have a calculated string field that does basic math (field1 x 3). I'm looking to have some way for the form to recognize that the field was changed (when saved) and somehow set off a SharePoint alert.
I'm completely baffled as how to go about this, if anyone could help that would be awesome! Thanks!

Couple ways of doing this.
If you don't have programming access.
Create a new column, hidden if you want. In SPD create a workflow to run when a change is made. In that workflow compare the current value to the the that new column and if different then sent out email and copy the current value to this new column.
Or do the same thing in Infopath, if you have programming access, where when the form is opened you store the current value and when they save the form compare values and send out email as needed or set another column to sent out email and have a workflow do the mailing out.
If you have programming access to Sharepoint you could write your own handler to duplicate it, little more control.
