Forms Designer Forum

Is there a way to allow for people to change the content type field? On a native SharePoint edit form, a control is rendered to allow a user to swap from one content type to the next. Is there any way to expose this functionality in SPForms?

Hello, Jack,

Currently Forms Designer doesn't support content type changing directly from the edit form. As a workaround, you can create dropdown field with your content types, place it into your form and change content type value based on this field in a simple workflow.

Hello, Jack,

We have added required functionality in th last version: 2.6.4840. Download it from our website. Now, you can add Content Type field like any other field and change it in a new or edit form.

Can seem to find this option. Where would I find the field for "content type"

Let me clarify that I am looking for content type in the edit form of a list, not a document library.

Hi Jeff,

Unfortunately, Content Type field is supported by Forms Designer for SharePoint On-premises only.

Hi, is it possible to set the content type depending on another field?

I've basically set up a button that when clicked I want it to change the content type - code i'm using is below but it doesn;t work.

fd.field('ContentType').value('value');

ta

Please, try the following code:

Perfect, thank you for all your help.

Hi I am very new to this, can you explain what the 'select', 'option' and 'selected' is referring to? are they CSS Code, internal references, fields or content types?


// getting the SELECT element
var contentType = fd.field('ContentType').control()._el().find('select');

// setting the second type
contentType.find('option').eq(1).prop('selected', true);

// reloading the form
contentType.change();
