Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi Everyone,

I'm making a small post registration solution in SharePoint for documents & files where files can contain multiple documents. You can for example have a file for "installation in house x" and all post (letters and such) regarding house x should be linked to that file.

I have created two lists:

- Files

- Documents

In the Documents form I have a lookup field that allows the user to select an already available file from the file-list. However, I would also like to be able to create a new "File" item from the "Documents" form.

What is the best way to achieve this? a link to the "new" form, or show/hide the file fields based on a button? But then how do you create a new object from another list?

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous :

Could you please show me some screenshots of Documents" form?Is Documents form a form control or a Custom Form in SharePoint List.

If Documents" form is a Form control,I'm afraid your requirement is not available.

If "Documents" form is Documents list's Custom Form,then you could try:

Step1:Open the custom form

Step2:Create a New Screen(FileScreen)

Step3:Connect to 'Files'

Step4:Add a edit form(Form1) into FileScreen and set it's

DataSource

Files_1

DefaultMode

FormMode.New

Step5:Add a button into FileScreen and set it's

OnSelect:

SubmitForm(Form1);NewForm(Form1);Refresh(TheDocuments);Back()

Text

"Submit"

Step6:Add a "+" icon into FormScreen1 and set it's OnSelect property to:

The Result:

Best Regards,
