Searchable drop down people picker

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

I have an editable grid that keeps adding rows when the edit, cancel, and submit button are selected . I believe the culprit is the people-picker combo box. My SP list is a person type column. 

 

Can I make a searchable dropdown and patch it back to my SP list to see if this stops the duplicate row creation?

    Are you saying its doing a FormSubmit or  Patch regardless of what you click? If so that sounds like a logic bug not an issue with a Column, unless you specifically have the column setup to trigger a patch on its own.

     

    Please share your app/code/buttons code etc. so we can see whats happening.

     

    Also if you do this you can see everytime it patches your table/list

    Step 1. Close your App (stop it running)

    Step 2. Click the Stethoscope in the Top Right

    Step 3. On the bottom click Open Monitor

    Step 4. Once Monitor is running go back and run your app

    Step 5. Cause your issue to happen

    Step 6. Close the app

    Step 7. Go to the Monitor and Filter (top right) based on Error, or key word. Go to the line or lines that match this

    Step 8. Look at the Response Tab and you will have to expand the Body > and the Header >. Then look at the body to see more details on the error
    Do this for each line you find


    Step 9. On each line, also check the Code being executed on Tab 2

    It typically happens when I click the edit grid button, but no error is generated it is just on the UI. If I select the cancel button the duplicate row disappears from the UI and is not logged at the sharepoint list.

    Hi @Donald_ 

     

    I am confused, first you said its when you click any of the buttons, now you said when you click Edit?

     

    please share a screenshot. not sure what you mean by editable grid bound to sharepoint with an Edit button.
