Stump the Panel: SharePoint Q&A

Dear all,

I've managed to insert a button in to my task list so far using the below code:

=CONCATENATE("<DIV><INPUT TYPE='button' NAME='myButton' VALUE=Completed onClick=set[Status]='Completed'></DIV>")

I understand that after onclick it all falls apart, but I'm lost with how to edit it so that onclick, it updates the [Status] and [% Complete] columns for that particular row to say "Completed" and "100%" respectively

Anything you can do to help would be massively appreciated - thanks

Rob

It's going to take a lot more than a calculated column to do that. You're wanting to do an update, so there's going to have to be some code to execute the update/postback.

You'll save yourself some time if you look at Form Action buttons. With these, you can fire off a workflow that will modify the item. Are you able to use Designer?

Actually, this could work if the OnClick called a javascript function (placed in a CEWP) that used jQuery and SPServices.

All without SPD.

But, all that aside, Matt's right: If you have SPD, form action is the way to go.

Nope I don't have access to the designer - so I'm struggling to get it to work.

Seems like it's going to be a lot fo hard work to get it going

Thanks for the help!
