I have a content type and I have separated fields with field group (horizontally tab). there is 2 field collection. I want to get the field value from one field collection and set as for select list in the second field collection.
You can use below code to do the same: This is just an example please use machine name of content type and field collection carefully.
$nid = 1234; //Dummy Value
//loading node based on nid
$node = \Drupal\node\Entity\Node::load($nid);
//Here I used field_collection_first_field as machine name of the field collection name on your content type
if(!($node->get('field_collection_first_field')->isEmpty())){
//Field collection 1
$fcID1 = $node->get('field_collection_first_field')->getValue()[0]['value'];
if(!empty($fcID1)){
$fc1 = \Drupal\field_collection\Entity\FieldCollectionItem::load($fcID);
$fcFieldValue = $fc1->get('field_comments')->getValue()[0]['value'];
}
}
if(isset($fcFieldValue)){
if(!($node->get('field_collection_second_field')->isEmpty())){
//Field collection 2
$fcID1 = $node->get('field_collection_second_field')->getValue()[0]['value'];
if(!empty($fcID1)){
$fc2 = \Drupal\field_collection\Entity\FieldCollectionItem::load($fcID);
$fc->set('field_comments',$fcFieldValue);
if(!($fc->save())){
echo 'success'; //Work Done
}
}
}
}
If you face any other problem please do let me know

Creating saved search in suitescript using nlapiSearchRecord. All the column value returns except one column which is type is custom list.
How could I get value of custom list?
To get the value I'm using code lines below.
columns[0] = new nlobjSearchColumn( 'customlist' );
var searchresults = nlapiSearchRecord( 'customrecord', null, filters, columns );
To get the column value
var listValue = searchresult.getListValue( 'customlist' );
I assume you've simplified your code in trying to be clear or confidential but there will never be fields or records with those ids.
from a search you would do:
var searchResult = searchResults[0];
searchResult.getValue(fieldId, joinName, summary)
// or in your case
searchResult.getValue('customlist'); //returns id of list value or simple result of non-list/record fields
or (and I think this is the one you want)
searchResult.getText('customlist'); // returns the display value of the list/record field.
I am trying to copy data from one list to other list (both lists are on different sites) along with lookup columns. But, I am getting an error for lookup field as:
Value does not fall within the expected range
Code works and data gets copied for other non-lookup fields. I tried every possible way including increasing List View Lookup Threshold and all possible ways of code but still error persists at ExecuteQuery().
Below is my code for lookup field:
if (field is FieldLookup && field.InternalName == "Country")
{
var CountryLookup = (item.FieldValues["Country"] as FieldLookupValue).LookupValue.ToString();
var CountryLookupId = (item.FieldValues["Country"] as FieldLookupValue).LookupId.ToString();
FieldLookupValue flvRDS = new FieldLookupValue();
flvRDS.LookupId = int.Parse(CountryLookupId);
itemToCreate["Country"] = flvRDS;
itemToCreate.Update();
destContext.ExecuteQuery();
}
Help is really appreciated.
I assume item is the new ListItem you're trying to create on your target list.
But you're never in fact reading any value from field here! So basically, you're trying to set your new FieldLookup.LookupId with the item["Country"].LookupId, which should logically be empty at this moment.
Here's a method I use to retrieve a lookup field ListItem from a value, feel free to modify it to fit your need, since I don't know how you want to retrieve it (SPList is an alias for Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.List).
private ListItem GetLookupItem(FieldLookup lookupField, string lookupValue)
{
string mappingField = lookupField.LookupField;
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.List lookupList = Context.Web.Lists.GetById(new Guid(lookupField.LookupList));
Context.Load(lookupList);
Context.ExecuteQuery();
ListItemCollection libListItems = lookupList.GetItems(CamlQuery.CreateAllItemsQuery());
Context.Load(libListItems, items => items.Include(
itemlookup => itemlookup.Id,
itemlookup => itemlookup[mappingField]));
Context.ExecuteQuery();
foreach (ListItem mappedItem in libListItems)
{
object mappedField = mappedItem[mappingField];
if (mappedField != null && mappedField.ToString().Equals(lookupValue))
return mappedItem;
}
return null;
}
Now that you have the corresponding ListItem, you can set your item.LookupId with its Id:
if (field is FieldLookup && field.InternalName == "Country")
{
FieldLookupValue flvRDS = new FieldLookupValue();
flvRDS.LookupId = GetLookupItem(field as FieldLookup, "France").Id; // here, dunno how you get your country's name
itemToCreate["Country"] = flvRDS;
itemToCreate.Update();
destContext.ExecuteQuery();
}
Feel free to add some more previous code if you want an answer more suited for your specific issue.
Hi I have 2 external lists 'A' and 'B'. with an associated column in A, that looks up for B.
When i view/edit item in browser, it shows correct values as shown in picture below.
But when i try to access the list in code, i can access all column values, but associated column value comes null.
The code look something like this :
items = listReports.GetItems();
System.Collections.Generic.List<ReportItem> reportItems = new List<ReportItem>();
foreach (SPListItem it in items)
{
if (it != null)
{
ReportItem item = new ReportItem();
// extItem comes null
var extItem = it["ExtCol"];
// extItem comes null
DateTime date;
if (DateTime.TryParse(it["GeneratedOn"].ToString(), out date))
{
item.dateGenerated = date.Date;
}
DateTime time;
if (DateTime.TryParse(it["GeneratedOn"].ToString(), out time))
{
item.timeGenerated = time.Date;
}
reportItems.Add(item);
}
}
I'm not sure, but, "ExtCol" - is that rigth name for field in your external type? For external items sharepoint may substitute a name of external item/column in the source field name.
Hi I have an existing database with a table with 30 fields, I want to split the table into many models so I could retrieve/save fields that I need and not every time retrieve/save the whole object from the db. using c#.
I think I should be using Code-First. Could someone provide an example or a tutorial link?
thanks,
You don't need to split table to be able to load a subset of field or persist subset of fields. Both operations are available with the whole table mapped to single entity as well.
For selection you simply have to use projection:
var data = from x in context.HugeEntities
select new { x.Id, x.Name };
You can use either anonymous type in projection or any non-mapped class.
For updates you can simply use:
var data = new HugeEntity { Id = existingId, Name = newName };
context.HugeEntities.Attach(data);
var dataEntry = context.Entry(data);
dataEntry.Property(d => d.Name).IsModified = true; // Only this property will be updated
context.SaveChanges();
Or:
var data = new HugeEntity { Id = existingId };
context.HugeEntities.Attach(data);
data.Name = newName;
context.SaveChanges(); // Now EF detected change of Name property and updated it
Mapping multiple entities to single table must follows very strict rules and it is possible only with table splitting were all entities must be related with one-to-one relation (and there are some problems with more than two entities per split table in code first) or with table-per-hierarchy inheritance. I don't think that you want to use any of them for this case.
I have a lookup field in sharepoint which just references another list. I wonder how do I programatically enumerate all possible values for this field?
For example, my lookup field "Actual City" refers list "Cities" and column "Title", I have 3 cities there. In code I would like to get list of all possible values for field "Actual City", smth like (metacode, sorry):
SPFieldLookup f = myList["Actual City"];
Collection availableValues = f.GetAllPossibleValues();
//this should return collection with all cities a user might select for the field
I wrote some code to handle this for my project just the other day. Perhaps it will help.
public static List<SPFieldLookupValue> GetLookupFieldValues(SPList list, string fieldName)
{
var results = new List<SPFieldLookupValue>();
var field = list.Fields.GetField(fieldName);
if (field.Type != SPFieldType.Lookup) throw new SPException(String.Format("The field {0} is not a lookup field.", fieldName));
var lookupField = field as SPFieldLookup;
var lookupList = list.ParentWeb.Lists[Guid.Parse(lookupField.LookupList)];
var query = new SPQuery();
query.Query = String.Format("<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='{0}'/></OrderBy>", lookupField.LookupField);
foreach (SPListItem item in lookupList.GetItems(query))
{
results.Add(new SPFieldLookupValue(item.ID, item[lookupField.LookupField].ToString()));
}
return results;
}
Then to use it, your code would look something like this:
var list = SPContext.Current.Web.Lists["My List"];
var results = GetLookupFieldValues(list, "Actual City");
foreach (SPFieldLookupValue result in results)
{
var value = result.LookupValue;
var id = result.LookupId;
}
I think there is no explicit method returning what you want. But the SPFieldLookup class stores all the info you need to request this information manually: LookupField and LookupList
So you could retrieve the information by getting it form the list you lookup field uses. To make it reusable you could implement it as a Extension Method. So the next time you could really call f.GetAllPossibleValues();.
As I understand you want to query all values that are in use?
If so, you would have to query items where Actual City is not null, query would look something like:
<Where><IsNotNull><FieldRef Name='Actual City'/></IsNotNull></Where>
Then, for each queried item you would
List<SPFieldLookupValue> result = new List<SPFieldLookupValue>(returnedItemCount * 5);
foreach (SPListItem item in queriedItems) {
object lookup = item["Actual City"];
SPFieldLookupValueCollection lookupValues = new SPFIeldLookupValueCollection(
(lookup != null) ? lookup.ToString() : ""
);
foreach (SPFieldLookupValue lookupValue in lookupValues) {
if (!result.Contains(lookupValue)) {
result.Add(lookupValue);
}
}
}
Or you could use HashTable where LookupId would be string and LookupValue would be int id and then check if HashTable.ContainsKey(lookupId)... must be faster to find an integer in hashtable rather than string in list, but the resource intensive part is to probably query all items where that field contains some value and then loop...
If you want to enumerate all possible values, that means you basically want to get all the Title field values from all the items in the Cities list. I don't think there is a method like GetAllPossibleValues() in SharePoint, but you can either just list all the items in Cities and get their titles, if there's just a few, or use a CAML query if there's plenty.
