qListForm – Cannot use a custom SharePoint list from the sub site as the source list of a Cross Site Lookup field. qListForm does not work correctly when the cross site lookup field is in used.

Cause

This is a product defect in the current version of QuickApps for SharePoint

Resolution

WORKAROUND:

The workaround is use the absolute URL of the site instead of the relative URL.

For example, assume that the configuration of a Cross-site field is:

<Field Name="TestField" DisplayFieldName="TestField" SortField="TestField" SortOrder="ASC">
  <List SiteUrl="./subSite" ListName="listName" />
</Field>

And the absolute URL of the SharePoint list is:     
          http://hostName/subSite/listName

In order to get around the issue, you need to modify the configuration to:

<Field Name="TestField" DisplayFieldName="TestField" SortField="TestField" SortOrder="ASC">
  <List SiteUrl="http://hostName/subSite/" ListName="listName" />
</Field>

You can also change the Site URL from "." to "http://hostName/subSite/" when searching for the SharePoint list in the ezEdit.


STATUS:

Waiting for fix in a future release of Quick Apss for SharePoint.
