I have 2 Sharepoint lists. I want to send ID number from one list to another which can be used as a filter value in second list. So when I click on text of issue list, it should go to another list which shows all the issues related to corresponding ID number.
I am using Sharepoint 2013 and Sharepoint 2013 Designer.
You need to create ID number as a lookup column.
See:

I have 2 lists that are connected. When I filter List A by ProjectID, I get results in List B only for that projectID.
What I am trying to do is, let's say the List A filter is on Project ID: 1.
When I go to add a new item to List B, the field 'Project ID' will automatically be filled with ID 1.
Any ideas on ways to go about doing this?
Is ProjectId a lookUp column in ListB?
If not and you are using the default edit form of SharePoint then it is not straight forward. I think the easiest approach would be InfoPath form if you are allowed to publish them in your SharePoint environment.
Im trying to create a Unique sub list within a list in Sharepoint Online (2013).
I realize that sub lists arent exactly possible and you can use lookup fields to attach another list. This doesn't seem like it will work for my situation.
I am trying to have a list item that allows you to upload unique files per list item. For Example:
Reports May 2015
---School.xml
---Food.xml
Reports Jun 2016
---University.xml
---Beach.xml
Each list item will have a set of unique files related to it.The user needs to be able to make the List item themselves (Reports ... in this case), this will of course have other fields and descriptions attached to it (hence the list) and then be able to upload unique documents to that list item.
Im having problems figuring out how to do this in SharePoint. If there is another way to go about this better i am up for it.
You're right - sublists aren't a thing in SharePoint. Reading your requirements, I'm not sure if you need two lists to get what your looking for. Would it be possible to have a single Document Library with a custom field for "Category" or "Report Month". This field could either be a Single line of text field or Choice field. From there you could create a custom view to group by this field and give the hierarchical view from your example.
If you need separate metadata for the grouping/top level, you may need to use Lookups. If I was putting together the solution, I would set up a List and a corresponding Library with a Lookup field to the List. Each of the documents uploaded to the Library would reference the List via that Lookup. To provide an interface for interacting with both within the same view, you'd need to frontend it with some custom code such as a SharePoint-Hosted App.
I have two SharePoint lists (only minimal columns described below for brevity).
The first has two columns, a text column called Name, and a person/group column called head of service.
The second has two columns, a lookup column called Service (which looks up from List1), and a text column called Value.
I would like to be able to create a view for the second list so it shows only the rows created by the current user AND any rows that the current user is Head of Service for - i.e. by looking at the relationship between the two tables and comparing the current user to the HeadOfService column in the first table.
I'm running in the Office365 SharePoint 2013 environment.
Since there's no way for SharePoint to read who is viewing a list and show different views based on that alone, the best you're going to get are pre-made views per user based on Created By and Head of Service.
So - I'm making a data view that is to contain a list. This list has a field that will be used to match up against two other lists. If there is an entry for this value, it should show the value from the other list, otherwise show a link to add a new one.
So, what I need to do is make a data source consisting of the rows from list 1, and fill in the Ticket field with a value from the Tickets table matching the ID value from list 1. The same should be done for the Change Type field.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to accomplish this? I've found a few tutorials, but they seem to be for showing all the data together and not match up on any specific columns for linkage.
Thank you
What you are aiming at is not available in SharePoint out of the box.
There are two approaches you can look at:
Create your own custom lookup field template for single/multiple field
selection with some sort of field
editor. Create your own controls and
program the associated code behind
logic.
Use some existing custom solutions. One such sample is on codeplex:
SharePoint Filtered Lookup Field
Any one has any idea how to map an infopath field to a sharepoint column of type choice? The infopath field is a repeating field, so the user can select multiple options, I want to be able to map those to the choice field in sharepoint. Any ideas?
update:
What I'm trying to do is the following. I have a choice column in sharepoint which allows user entered values. In infopath, I have a repeating field. I'm binding the field to a dropdownlist. The dropdownlist gets filled by a webservice. This dropdownlist is in a repeating section, so the user can choose to select from multiple dropdownlists. So lets say the user adds 2 dropdownlists, and selects an option from each dropdownlist. I want to be able to add those selections as choices in the sharepoint choice column.
SharePoint list is a flat structure, and because of that Infopath does not allow you map repeating sections to list columns.
You might wanna consider the following workaround:
Store Infopath form to one library
(along with non-repeating fields)
Use one of these custom activities to extract data from
repeating table and copy it to
another list
Create a custom data view or a web part to display these items (if
necessary)
This approach can be useful if you need to do some additional tasks with the repeating data.
When you are promoting fields within a repeated section into SharePoint columns, the options available are to promote the column as:
first (i.e. only the first selection is promoted)
last
count
merge (I believe this merges all the selected values together into a single entry)

Is it not similar to Create a Repeating Cascading List from:
a Flat Data Source or
a Hierarchical Data Source ?
If it is, may be those two articles may give you some pointers.
Depends on the type of choice field it is.
If it is a Multiple Select (checkboxes) Choice field, you can set the field through the object model (from the sharepoint site) or through the web service, by using ";#" for each item that you want to check mark, where is the value which is listed by the checkbox. I don't remember what the option is for single choice only, but it is something of the same nature. If you are talking about lookup fields, it has to do with the index number of the field from the list you are looking it up from. Also, there is additional steps if the choice field allows users to input or specify their own options.
