documents checked out after upload

[Jens.Hetze]

Hi sp forms team,

actually I have a problem with the sp forms designer. The installed version is 3.0.8.

The follow architecture is built.
A document library with enabled content types. All content types have custom forms by sp forms designer. All Content types have required fields.

Now the case:
1. upload a document to an SharePoint document library
2. the edit form of default content type is showing
3. change the content type to another content type -> the edit form of the choosen content type is showing
4. fill in the required fields and click save
5. after redirect to the view the uploaded document is checked out

All required fields were filled in. In SharePoint default the document is checked in after upload. Is this a bug in sp forms? Can you reproduce this case on your environments? Or is this fixed in a newer version?

Thanks for help.
Jens

Hi Jens,
Forms Designer does nothing with checking in(out) documents. Please, try to turn off the 'Require Check Out' option in the Library settings -> Versioning settings.

Hi Dmitry.

The Option "Require Check Out" is "off".
In my case, if I reset forms to Default SharePoint forms, the documents will be automatically checked in. The document is also checked in, if I used the default content type, which is customized by forms designer.

Yours sincerely

Hi Dmitry.

Can you reproduce the case? Or do you need more Information? Is it possible, that the url parameter „Mode=Upload“ will not be set to the changed contenttype. (Reference: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ketaan ... oint-2007/)

Yours sincerely

You can remove the query parameter with JavaScript:

Code: Select all

if (GetUrlKeyValue('Mode') == 'Upload') {
    window.location = fd.setUrlParam(window.location.href, 'Mode', '')
}

Hi Dmitry.

SharePoint needs the mode parameter to check in the document after upload.
In my case spform, after upload a document and changing content type in the following edit-form, the document will not be checked in. If I use SharePoint standard Formulars the document will be checked in after upload and changing content type.

So I think sp forms designer does not set the mode parameter. Is it possible? Should I send you some screenshots of the issue?

Then you can try to add the 'Mode' parameter to the URL of edit form:

Code: Select all

if (!GetUrlKeyValue('Mode') ) {
    window.location = fd.setUrlParam(window.location.href, 'Mode', 'Upload')
}
