Hey Patrick,
Thanks a lot. There was an issue with the ordering of the rules.
I need your help in another issue:
I have a custom list in sharepoint with 2 columns, name and id.
Another task list with 3 columns, Title, Assigned to and id.
my requirement is such that, on the click of the value in the name column of the custom list, an item must be generated in task list with the id same as the one corresponding to the id of the name i clicked on. the remaining dtails can be edited by the user.
I got to know that JQuery and querystring could be used, but i am totally unaware.
Kindly help me
Thank you once again.
