Lookup in SP list creates error "Creating query failed"

Posted on by 2 Moderator

Hello,

 

I am designing an app that will give members of the organisation the option to store their personal address in a Sharepoint list (for use in other processes, so they don't have to type it all the time)

When the user navigates to the screen I want it to

1. show the record they created in the past and give them the option to make changes if they want or

2. show them a button that will allow them to create a record.

 

There is a Sharepoint list with the user's e-mail in one column and several other columns with the other user data.

So, I created an invisible gallery, that will automatically select the item that matches the user's email.

Then I have a form that will show the record selected in the gallery.  

The form mode is dependent on whether such a record exists.
1. If no record exists for that email, the form is invisible (and in view mode) and there is a button that allows the user to make the form visible and switch it into new-mode.

2. If a record exists, the form is visible in view mode and can be switched to edit-mode with one button or the record can be deleted with another.

 

I get this strange error on my android phone.
Any idea how to fix it?

    I get this on submitting a form, creating a new record... BUT: It's a different SP list that's complaining. I am submitting a form to a different list and still get this error. Hmmmm....
