Pop Up Text Input to SharePoint Edit Form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 71

I have a large form that requires a text input to be mandatory when a button is selected, however the mandatory field is way down on the form and it's confusing users as it doesn't make it obvious they need to fill it in, so i thought i could create a pop up box with a text input field that once saved, the data is copied to the actual text input field on the SharePoint form.

 

Senario:

  1. Button is clicked
  2. Pop up appears
  3. Text input into free text field
  4. Form is closed and data is copied into SharePoint form

I can get the pop up to show but i cant get the text to copy to the sharepoint form, i'm assuming its a default xx vs parent.defualt type thing?

    Hi @rowan853 ,

    You need to set a Variable to true to pop-up the free-text box then to false to hide it and make the Update of the "real" Data Card the output of the pop-up box (PopupBoxName.Text). You can delete everything out of the "real" Data Card and hide it if you want to.

    @WarrenBelz many thanks, the magic i was missing was setting the Update value in the "real" data card.
