Add Custom Button to Sharepoint 2013 List Item - sharepoint

In a Sharepoint 2013 list of items, is it possible to add a couple of columns that feature my own custom action buttons? These buttons would be on each list item (row) and perform an action specific to that row. And I'm sure it's not possible, but will Sharepoint allow NO labels for their column headers?
The caveat is that the powers-that-be may not want to see fields for those two extra columns in the New or Edit forms for that list.
Please bear with me on what must be a totally noob question. I am a designer with very elementary knowledge of Sharepoint that has been thrown to the Sharepoint wolves, so to speak. Thanks!

I'll try to help you as much.
If you want to make a change before saving, you can insert a javascript on the form you desire.
Before saving the Sharepoint runs a javascript code with "PreSaveAction" function, eg PreSaveAction function () {your code; return true}
Do not forget to put return true or return false. You will return true place to save and return false to not save.
The cancel button or close the form performs no function but can insert a javascript button manually.
I use Sharepoint Designer 2013 to open Sharepoint, and after that open the desired form. After opening the form will contain two Sharepoint Button. You can make a display: none a button and insert a button with your javascript function.
Anything I am available to help you.

Set collection to selected values in Power Apps form when opened in edit mode

I have a SharePoint list-integrated Power Apps form.
I have a multi-select combobox called DataCardValue4 (which is hidden) that comes from a choice on the SharePoint list.
I need to put the selected values of this combobox into a collection when the form is edited.
On SharePointIntegration, on Edit, I have:
ForAll(DataCardValue4.SelectedItems, Collect(colVehiclesRequested,ThisRecord.Value));
This works fine when the user opens the form and puts it in edit mode manually. Unfortunately, I have a Power Automate flow which gives a link that opens the form in edit mode directly.
When the form is opened in edit mode, DataCardValue4.SelectedItems is empty at the time of SharePointIntegration on edit.
Is there another way to do this? Is there another place to put this further down the lifecycle so it will work properly?
I guess I'm kind of looking for the document.ready version of a Power Apps-integrated form.
I'd try to put your formula into the Screen.OnVisible property with some conditional wrapping. This would make sure it (also) runs when it is opened directly.
I had the same issue, I added the code in the App.OnStart

DispForm.aspx looks different for different items for the same sharepoint list

I have a SharePoint list and a DispForm.apx associated with it. whenever any item is clicked in the list, the dispForm opens.
The issue that we are facing is that the dispForm.aspx looks a bit different for different items. Everything is same except that for some the view ribbon is enabled and for some it is disabled(ie, greyed out).
Any idea as to why it is behaving in this way since the same form is being used for all the items?
I am new to SharePoint so any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
the one working fine
the one with greyed out ribbon

"Hidden" columns in Sharepoint 2007

I'm trying to make a custom list for inquiries, where users will fill in some information such as "Name", "Reason" etc. When they've finished filling in the information and added the item, the administrator will then go through the item, and fill in some new columns that the user hasn't been able to fill in.
I hope you understand me, otherwise you're more than welcome to ask questions!
With SharePoint designer 2007, you can use the SPSecurityTrimmedControl who enable you to show/hide form field (or site action...).
Syntax :
<SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl PermissionsString="ManageLists" runat="server">
WHAT_YOU_WANT_TO_HIDE_HERE
</SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>
For the PermissionsString, all values HERE
You'll need to use SharePoint Designer. You will create custom new and edit forms. This way when the user fills in the new form, only certain fields will appear. Then when the administrator edits the item using the edit form, they will have access to more fields.
Please see this link for more information.
Try making a copy of the form you wish to edit by copying and pasting to the same folder. Then click on the web part for the form and the code above will highlight . Look for tags IsVisible and change it from "true" to "false". This will hide the default form. Do not delete the original form.
Click on the web part in the design view then press your right arrow. This will move the cursor to right after the web part but still within the web part zone. Go to the Insert menu, select SharePoint Controls then Custom List form. A small dialog window will appear, select the list name from the first drop down, then select the content type from the second drop down. Finally select which form you want to insert, New, Edit or Display. Click OK. The new form will be displayed under the default form, and you will then see all of the fields in order and you can add or remove as you like.
If one did not want to edit the pages, couldn't one use Jquery to hide the fields? I have done this with SPservices. to check the user credentials if you will and then if matched display the hidden fields... all this is done from a web part...just a thought...I actually learned something great today.. great replies.

Custom column in list

Can any one tell me that, Is is possible in wss to have our custom column in a view of list. The way how we are adding edit and delete column in asp.net grid by setting autogenerateedit button property to true. I have to write my custom login on click event of that button. This action is going to be common for all list items.
Thanks

I am afraid that it is not possible out of the Box in SharePoint (WSS / MOSS). If you want to have such an option, you might need to create a Separate page that will have code to do the opertion. Try out the SPGridView and SPDataSource.
Else I would suggest (Recommend) you to have a look at the DataSheetView option provided by the List, it will list List item details as all editable format, like Excel sheet.

How to validate data input on a sharepoint form?

How does one verify a text field with another list's column? I am currently populating a Drop down list with a datasource and then comparing the text field with items in the dropdown using javascript. Is there a better way?
The second problem I am having is how to trigger the Validate Function.
I am aware of two custom forms for adding data to a sharepoint list. One is created using The Dataview Webpart in Sharepoint Designer and the other is created using the List Form Webpart in Sharepoint Designer.
I have a DataFormWebPart I created using Sharepoint Designer Insert Dataview ->Insert Selected Fields as New Item Form. This gives Save and Cancel buttons at the end of the form. How do I intercept the Save button event?
I found one solution but it only works with the NewForm page that has OK Cancel Buttons. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/sharepoint/Control_validation.aspx
You'll have to use an event handler if you want to validate the state of multiple fields. You can use the ItemAdding/ItemUpdating events if you want to cancel an item which is being added/updated.
properties.Cancle = true;
properties.ErrorMessage = "Your validation message.";

can you add query strings into the formula box for validation?
e.g. like this:
^[a-zA-Z]{2}[0-9]{6}[A-Za-z]{1}$
which validates against a national insurance number.
sharepoint says the column must = true,
so could I enter something like
[column name] = ^[a-zA-Z]{2}[0-9]{6}[A-Za-z]{1}$
I think you are trying to build a tool like this one called SharePoint Form Validation.
If so, take a look at this blog: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointtechnology/HA101054791033.aspx?pid=CH100650061033
Hope this helps!
