Hi

I've just been advised that on one of our librarys the edit form is opening in the standard sharepoint format despite there being a default SPForm present. I've re-saved the form and re connected a number of times but can't seem to get the correct SPForm showing on the site?

Is there a way I can force this?

Thanks

Hello Roo,

Are there multiple content types in the library?

Make sure that you've designed forms for all content types.

Hello,

Im not sure what you mean exactly .

What I have done is go into the SP Designer and remove the editforms in there. Once I did this it worked on my PC.

However I tried it on another persons (after fully clearing their cache) and when editing a form in the stardard webpage of the library it still opened in the wrong (MS Standard) form. However, when I changed his library to the "Classic" version and opened it it showed the correct SPForm.

Is there a way of making sure the "standard" library edit form works the same way as the Classic?

Hello Roo,

Please open the library in the SharePoint Designer and share the screenshot of all forms from the Forms section.

Just another little update - it seems now that the form doesn't work for any one now unless you go into the classic experience?? any ideas?

Hello Roo,

What SharePoint version are you using?

How do you open the edit form? Could you please share screenshots.
Are you facing the same issue in other lists or libraries?

Just this one subsite. All the other sites are working fine. Its the Sharepoint online O365 version

Opening the library in the standard method. then pressing edit (this opens the standard version which is not correct)

However if I change the library to the classic view it shows correctly (however this is no good as the user would continually have to change versions of the library)

Hello Roo,

Do you see the same behavior in other SharePoint lists under this site?

You can try to restore the default SharePoint forms, export existing forms designed in Forms Designer, reset Forms Designer forms, and then import forms again and publish.

Hi

All the other sites (and other libraries in this site) are working fine.

I've reset - saved - reimported - and it still brings up the wrong version? Is there anything else I can try?
