I have a tracking sheet that I manage and I would like the ability to make the check box, which represents that a job has been completed, to be able to be checked (Yes/No Check box) without having to enter 'Edit in grid view'. Is this possible on the back end of SharePoint or through json?
I've looked at the settings in the SharePoint list and the column properties. Quick Edit is activated but it isn't doing what I hoped.
Based on your description, I understand that you want to fill in the checkbox column, but not in the "Edit in grid view".
If you want to edit items in the SharePoint list, you could through "Edit in grid view", "Edit item properties" and flows.
You could edit items by using " Update item" action when a job has been completed.
Yes. It is possible to edit the Yes/No column in SharePoint list view without using grid view.
You have to apply JSON column formatting for your Yes/No column. Use JSON like:
{
"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
"elmType": "div",
"inlineEditField": "[$Completed]",
"txtContent": "=if([$Completed], 'Yes', 'No')"
}
Where [$Completed] is the internal name of your column.
Output: When you click on column cell, it will open column in edit mode:

Not sure if this is a good place to ask but I’m about an hour into editing a Sharepoint for the first time, have zero prior knowledge on creating/editing Sharepoints, and I’m stuck trying to figure out how to wrap text to a new line in the description field of a particular column on my list.
We need the submitters to stop at a certain point and not touch the remaining fields, and the only way I can figure out how to do that is by adding a column description that tells them to stop. I want the description of that column to read as:
————-—STOP ————-—
Submitters stop here. Do not use the fields below, unless attaching images/files. The remaining fields are for macro champ use only.
———————————————-
Instead of :
————-—STOP ————-—Submitters stop here. Do not use the fields below, unless attaching images/files. The remaining fields are for macro champ use only.———————————————-
Do I need to use JSON to achieve this? If so..what is the code I would need to use?
Also open to alternative solutions to create a line/stop/hide fields from them or something.

ETA - photo of what my column formatting box looks like.

ETA for further clarification -
The column in particular that I am trying to add the “stop” message to is actually named “Attachments included?” And has ‘yes’ or ‘no’ radio choice buttons. Then the description underneath that column says “submitters stop here, unless attaching images/files below.” This column, and it’s description, are hidden from the list overview and only visible when submitting a +New item.
The reason for doing this is because we have a handful of fields towards the end of the +New item submission form that we don’t want submitters to touch, as they are for the help desk agents to fill out only.
I don’t see any other way to add a stop/line or hide certain fields from the submitters (while still leaving them visible to the help desk team), so just trying to make this “stop” description look a little neater.
Format the column as shown below:
{
"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
"elmType": "div",
"txtContent": " ————-—STOP ————-— \n\n Submitters stop here. Do not use the fields below, unless attaching images/files. The remaining fields are for macro champ use only. \n\n ———————————————",
"style": {
"width": "100%",
"font-weight": "bold"
}
}
Update:
I'm a big beginner with Json. Literally less than an hours experience.
I have a microsoft form that poulates a list within a SharePoint site, via a flow. I want to format a few of the colums so that if they have been left empty within the form, the text displayed will be 'N/A'.
Before anyone suggests it, I have tried setting the colums default value, but as the flow populates each row with whatever is in the microsoft form, it overwrites the default value with empty string.
Could there be another way to do this? An if statement within the flow maybe? Any help appreciated.
You could try the below code in JSON formatting:
{
"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
"elmType": "div",
"txtContent": "=if(#currentField=='','N/A',#currentField)"
}
Test result:
I have a form in Access that I need to automate a little.. When the "source" is selected as "call" I want to trigger the "OT" box to be selected (with a checkmark).. IF the "source" box is selected as any other option I do not want the "OT" box to check... What's the best way to set this up?
I'm using Report Builder 2012 to create a report. I have inserted multiple text boxes and other controls inside a list box so that I can hide all the controls at once just by hiding the list box. I'm using a SQL Server stored procedure to fetch rows of data. I'm using below expression to hide/show the list box.
=iif(Fields!certificateType.Value = "CT", False, True)
It works fine but it only checks the first row of data. If certificateType field is "CT" in the first row of data, it shows the list box but it doesn't hide the list box back for the next row of data in which certificateType is not "CT". It seems like list box visibility only checks the first row of data and applies it for all the other rows as well. How can i check the visibility of list for all the data rows?
Okay, based on our chat I have updated this solution.
I mocked up some data that looks like this:
certificateType
---------------
AT
BT
CT
DT
ZT
I created a quick and dirty report with a list. In that, I added a rectangle with a textbox in it. I set the dataset for the list to the main dataset (DataSet1 in my case). I set the expression for the textbox to this:
=Fields!certificateType.Value
Image in design mode:
I clicked on the list, and in the Row Groups pane, I right-clicked the Details rows, and chose Group Properties. On the General section, I clicked Add to add a new group expression. Then I chose certificateType from the dropdown.
I moved to the Page Break section of the Group Properties dialog and ticked the Between each instance of a group check box. Click OK.
Now, the report will break for each instance of a certificate type that comes in the dataset. So, if you have ten different cert types in the data, you will get one page for each.
You can't see it in my image below, but there are 5 pages now.
Hope this helps!!
I have a combo box on a form that is linked to a SharePoint field, the combo box populates correctly however I am having difficulty trying to add VBA code to select all of the options or to unselect all options.
With a standard combo box you can use:
cmbBox1.value = ""
and that will reset the field. The same thing can be done with a list box that has multi-select enabled however this tosses an error, "This control is read-only and cannot be modified", with the combo box that has multi-select because of the lookup.
I have done some searching however no one seems to have a real answer other than to use a listbox instead and that isn't a solution here.
Has anyone worked with one of these fields and know how to select all of the options using VBA?
Here is a link describing this type of field but it does not discuss how to interact with it using VBA - http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/use-a-list-that-stores-multiple-values-HA010031117.aspx.
UPDATE:
There has been some confusion about the type of field I was describing so I have added some screen captures to show the difference between a combo box that allows multiselect, a list box that allows multiple options and a combo box with the option added.
First the field I was describing:
Second the list box:
Lastly the combobox:
These images visualize the issue that was described. As you can see there are multiple check boxes that need to be selected or unselected. Normally I would not create a field like this but as described above this is how Access interprets a combobox from SharePoint that allows for multiple selections.
After a ton of searching and trial and error I figured it out.
To unselect all of the check boxes it is
cmbBox1.Value = Array()
So with this information I figured that to select items they have to be in an array. Creating an array with all of the items that are in the combo box and then setting the combo box equal to the array will select all of the items.
I used a basic loop to set each element of the array
Dim SelVals(), i
ReDim SelVals(0 to cmbBox1.ListCount - 1)
For i = 0 to cmbBox1.ListCount - 1
SelVals(i) = cmbBox1.Column(1,i)
Next i
cmbBox1.Value = SelVals
Obviously then you aren't limited to only using the entire contents - you could assign any array and those would be the values selected.
