Hi Guys, I have the challenge to prepopulate a repeating section.
The purpose of my repeating section is a Task list.
I have a second list where the Default responsibility of a Task is defined.
It would be perfect if I could prepopulate this list with some JavaScript or something else.
I also Need the possibility to add more rows or change the repsonsible Person of the task.
Do you have any suggestions to do this?
Hi Samuel,
This should indeed possible. Although in the end I didn't use it, I did some research and found several posts in this community:
Hopefully the above will get you going.

I managed to fill the first line of my repeating section
NWF$(document).ready(function()
{
NWF$(".ClassText:last input").val('My first Task');
NWF$(".rsClass a.ms-addnew").click();
});
my next step to set the lookup field within the repating section and identify a specific row in repeating section.
I will use someting like:
NWF$(function() {
NWF$('#'+ var_ListLookup).on('change', function()
{
setTimeout(function() {
NWF$('#'+ var_responisble).val(NWF$('#'+ var_responsible).val());
}, 2000);
});
});

I managed to prefill my repeating section with part of these lines:
NWF$(".rsClassTPE .nf-repeater-row:last .ClassText:last input").val(item.Title);
NWF$(".rsClassTPE .nf-repeater-row:last .ClassPerson select").val(item.Mitarbeiter.ID);
The first one works and is succesfully saved.
The second one is a lookup field (Dropdown) which is filled but not saved when the form is submitted.
My experience is that a list lookup control needs 2 values (the ID and the display value). Here's a snippet I used before (IC is the JS control ID set in the control's Advanced Settings):
var icSelectElement = NWF$("#" + IC).parent().find('select.nf-client-control');
var icSelectId;
if (icSelectElement && (icSelectElement.length == 1)) { // Try to get the proper Select element generically
icSelectId = NWF$("#" + IC).parent().find('select.nf-client-control')[0].id;
} else { // Get proper Select element based on id
icSelectId = IC.replace('_hid','');
}
NWF$("#" + icSelectId + " option:contains(" + selectedItem.get_item('IndustryCluster').get_lookupValue() +")").attr("selected", true); // Set selected option in Select element
NWF$("#" + IC).val(selectedItem.get_item('IndustryCluster').get_lookupId() + ';#' + selectedItem.get_item('IndustryCluster').get_lookupValue()); // Set selected item string value (id;#textvalue) in Input element
The List Lookup control requires the combi <id>;#<display value>
NB: selectedItem is a query result from which metadata needs to be copied.

Hi,
I know you wrote this about a year ago, and I think it fits with my issue. I've a multi-select checkbox, that once selected needs to be added to a field in a repeating table.
example: the multi-select box displays a list of manufacturing plants. The user selects Reno, Chicago, Nashville. The repeating section has several controls, one of the controls is a textbox named "Plants". If the user selects 3 plants from the multi-select box, I want 3 repeating section items to be displayed with the plants control pre-filled by what they selcted in the multi-select box. one plant per item.
I've found a lot of Javascript, and yours seems to be the closest. I need a little guidance, for the most part I stay out of the box, this may be very simple, any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Dottie
