I have a list of options which needs to be checkboxes and they needs to be grouped together in webform but it doesnt allow, I dont want it to be listbox.Can you please suggest how to do it.
You should be able to add a field of type 'select options', and as long as the 'listbox' checkbox isn't selected in the field options, the options will be grouped together with checkboxes all underneath each other. You just need to add all of the options in the 'options' box as the page describes (key|value).

One of my columns contain 200 countries. End user should be able to select multiple items from the list.
Sharepoint multiple choice column only allows for one of three choices:
Drop-Down Menu
Radio Buttons
Checkboxes (allow multiple selections)
I'd like to be able to combine the features of Drop-down menu and checkbox.
Is this possible and is there a workaround in Sharepoint designer?
Not looking to do this in InfoPath forms.
Thanks!
You need to put your 200 Countries values into a Custom List, then use a Lookup column rather than a Choice column. With the Lookup column, you can allow multi-selects.
If you can change your field type to another then use type "Lookup column with multiple values". It has good UI experience. But you must create additional list with your 200 countries.
If you want to use only choice type field then I think no, you must add custom control on form.
May be like this:
1. Add script on form.
2. Script will render some jquery autocomplete control (https://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#combobox) or select2 control (https://select2.org/dropdown or https://select2.org/selections) on form load. If no third party controls exists that applied to you then create own control with necessary features. Populate it from out-of-box field options.
3. Hide out-of-box field.
4. Add onChange or onPreSave handlers that copy values from your custom control to out-of-box field.
When form saved it save out-of-box field value to list item.
As mentioned in the title above, I've added Created by and Modified by column field in my custom list.
But however, when i added a new item into the list, I was not able to see my name or the person's name, that creates the item.
Would like to know what are the possible reasons to this issue.
UPDATES:
Here is the issue i'm facing.
First of all you dont need to add CreatedBy, CreatedDate, ModifiedBy, ModifiedDate columns to lists these are added by default.
All you have to do is to edit the default view and add the columns to the default view, if you have a custom view edit it and add the columns.
When you add a column you get the option to add it to default view.
Doing the above will show the columns in the view.
How to change the view
Goto List Settings (Gear icon on right if O365 or Top Ribbon Menu)
On the bottom you will find the "Views" section
Click the "All Items" now you can see all the available columns the Created and CreatedBy will be there just tick it and remove your columns.
Press ok your columns will be displayed in the view with correct values.
In the list, I set-up "ID" column and "Title" column.
I added 10 items in the list, and I'm trying to put the 10th item between 1 and 2.
After my research, many people said I can't manually change ID number...
Is there a way to re-order the item?
deleting every items is the only answer?
Please help!
The ID column is an internal identity-like column. You cannot change the value. If you need a column that you can order by (and change), just create a new column called SortOrder or something. Then sort by that column.
I know this is an old post, but I thought this might help someone who might be looking for an OOB answer.
Go into your links list so that you see your List Tools, Items and List at the top.
Select Items.
There is a Change Item Order Icon in the Ribbon. This will allow you to renumber the Links in your list and change the order.
You can manually change the items order if you create your list based on a link list definition. This kind of list allows you to re-order items as you require through a ribbon button. I use this workaround often.
The ID Column is SharePoint inbuilt and you can not change the value of it.
for your solution either you need to delete all item and insert it again or as #Nigel Whatling say you have to add SortColumn
Column Setting will only change the order in the SharePoint List. To change the view order Use the Modify View Selector to adjust the way the fields are sorted. Modify View is found on the ... next to Find and Item Box or If your in the site setting it is under View on the lower 3rd of the page
I also got stuck with this and couldn't use the previous answers as I couldn't see the buttons they spoke of in the ribbon.
I went to List > List Settings in the ribbon. At the bottom of the list settings page I click on a View to edit it (or create new view). Unser the heading Sort you can change the column you wish to sort by and change from descending to ascending etc.
Actually, if I understand the question, it was just what I was trying to accomplish and spent most of my morning working on.
Select the List.
From toolbar, select List under List Tools.
Click List Settings.
Below the listed columns, see Column Ordering
Modify "Position from Top" number and click OK at bottom.
Updated steps:
Select the List.
From toolbar, select List under List Tools.
Click List Settings.
Above the Column list click on the "Item" link
At the bottom of the page select "Column Ordering"
Modify "Position from Top" number and click OK at bottom.
I've created several custom columns in the Tasks list named NotifyUser and IsUserNotified. These columns are not supposed to be changed by user. I change them programmatically only. Is there any mechanism to:
Hide those columns from the NewForm, EditForm (I wanna use
existent Forms).
Skip executing workflows when any of those two columns been changed.
Exclude columns from the notification mails (as long as user doesn't know anything about these columns, there is no need to show them).
You only can control these things if you are creating your field programmatically or via a field schema definition (deployment via WSP Solution and a feature):
Set the property Hidden to true in order to hide the field in user forms and views.
Refer to: SharePoint Workflow: how to update the item without triggering the workflow again
Should be done by 1.
You can edit your view by going in List Tools->List->List Settings->Views.
Then click on the name of your List from where you can uncheck the column that u dont want to show to the user and click ok.
i'm new to infopath and need to ammend an existing infopath 2010 form. The users only want certain section groups to appear based on the users choice via checkboxes. Currently there are conditional rules in place for each group on the form which are working to hide/show the sections depending on whcih checkbox or checkboxes are selected.(each checkbox relates to a group). There are 19 checkboxes and related groups, the users can select 1 or more groups.
The problem is when users tick the checkbox , there is a delayed reaction seeing as there are so many condtional checks taking place on each click.The users dont like this. they would rather selct all the checkboxes they want , and then click a button to do all the work at once(instead of on each checkbox). So i've been trying to programmatically access the groups from the code behind the buttons to hide/show them depending on which checkboxes are selected. Is it even possible to set the hide/show property of a group in the code behind ?
Thanks in advance for any help
You can't show or hide sections directly with code, but you can affect data sources, which in turn can trigger rules.
See here for updating the data source programatically:
