Hopefully someone has come across this issue... Yesterday I updated my SharePoint 2019 farm with the December 2020 CU. After this I noticed Plumsail forms are not displaying as before. Firstly the left hand quick launch area is no longer collapsed when the menu is empty and the actions (save & close) menu has moved under the default page menu bar, this has significantly reduced the screen real estate for forms. Before and after screen captures below:
I removed all custom css and javascript to test if it was my own customisations causing the issue, it was not. Also noted the following new errors in the console:
Dear @Andrew,
Thank you for the report! We'll install the December 2020 CU and test it as soon as possible. If there indeed any issues - the fix will be available soon!
Dear @Andrew,
Thank you for the report! Looks like this is the case, our developers are currently working on a fix - I'll post here as soon as the issue is resolved!
Dear @Andrew,
The issue seems to have resolved itself - we can't reproduce it anymore. This might be something on the side of SharePoint, or it might be the latest forms update from us, can't say for certain.
Are you still experiencing the issue or is it gone? If it's still there, contact us at [email protected], we can organize a screenshare session to make sure the issue is fixed for you too.
Yes I've also noticed this morning a form I am working on had returned to normal layout, I assumed something on the side of SharePoint. I put it down to unexplained Microsoft issues! Thanks for looking into it.
The same issue as above has occurred after updating to the June 2022 CU, I can't find any other report on the forum, can you confirm you receive the same issue?
Dear @Andrew,
Does it happen on every list/form or only somewhere specific? What if you create a new list on a new site? Also, you can try Incognito mode in browser to see if there's any difference.
Yes it happens on each existing form (in full screen mode) and the same when tested in incognito mode. I have created a new list and form to test and also the same.
I see an October update KB5002278 has been released for SP2019, although this is primarily a security patch, so feel the chances are low of this fixing the layout issue.
After doing some more investigation myself I'm convinced it's not an issue Plumsail is responsible for but Microsoft update related. See this thread for the same issue relating to various patches dating back to August 2020, causing empty left navigation and command bar and errors originating from sp-pages-assembly.js to be logged in the console (same symptoms for me). I hadn't noticed until recently it affected other modern pages (as most of our Intranet is still classic style).
I'm going to update to the latest October 2022 CU and hope this fixes the issue
UPDATE: October 2022 Update (KB5002278) has fixed layout issue on modern pages and forms
