Is there a way to update all US description using excel add-in or some other way?
Say for example - I have 100 US and i want to update the description of the US with same name as US
You could do it in the excel add-in probably, yes. That's probably the easiest. You could also do it with a custom list app by selecting the items and bulk editing them.
Check out this little custom app I put together:
https://github.com/krmorse/BulkEditDescription
It's a list of stories and includes the advanced filtering component so you can find what you're looking for. Then just bulk edit description on your selected stories.
Just paste this html into a custom html app and you should be good to go:

I am working on Sharepoint site that already exists and I need to create a new webpart dedicated for a certain form to complete, then I should use the answers collected from the form to produce a "result page". When I open the "Edit source" Or "Embeded code", I can easily use html or javascript to display whatever I want, my question is: In that script editor(snippet) can I use Sql as well?
As I said, I'm going to need some sql queries to extract the answers from the form.
Thank you in advance.
As far as I know, that is not possible.
If what you are doing is something like storing a form submission in a list and then displaying the result in a different page:
Create a form - using normal HTML/JS etc.
On submit button click - store the information in the list
Retrieve the information from the list using the ID(or any other criteria) on the results page and display it (again using HTML/JS)
Have a look at this JS library, which has SQL like syntax, for working within SharePoint:

While importing user stories with Tags column from spreadsheet, I run into issue that Tags cannot be imported.
Is there a way to do that using Rally excel-addin. The tags currently exist in Rally. Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!
It is currently not possible to import Tags using the Excel Add-in. You will need to add the Tags using the WebUI after the import. You can do this using Bulk-Edit:
Put a Custom List app on your dashboard or a custom page and set the
work item type to User Story.
Set the "show" parameter at the bottom left of the results to 200
(the maximum batch size).
Tick the select all checkbox at the upper right.
Click the gear icon next to any work item- this will return the Bulk
Actions menu.
From Bulk Actions choose "Tag...".
The Excel Add-in is currently undergoing a rewrite an this capability will, hopefully, be a part of the new version.
Currently I have a custom field on User Stories and Defects for our developer to tag what system was affected with their code change. Currently I only see a drop down, which is a single selection. Is there any way to give them the chance to multi-select options in the drop down? Or is there another object that would work better? Thanks in advance for all the great help I always get on here :-)
Your best bet to emulate a multi-select custom field is to use Tags. If you are managing these stories and defects with a custom App you could restrict which Tags you show or allow them to choose from in that App.
As Charles indicated, you probably want to try to use the MultiObjectPicker or the TagPicker, that extends it. If you want to stick with the ComboBox, then you can enable multi-selection by setting the "multiSelect" config field to "true".
I have a list, and want to insert custom javascript code in a new form for this list (when form loaded). For example, when new form for this list is opened, I want to make some layout modifications for this form.
How it can be done? And how many ways exist to achieve this?
Thanks.
Upd: I ask about SharePoint list, and SharePoint list forms, I suppose you look at the tags of the question :).
You put tags for both SharePoint 2007 and 2010 and the methods are a bit different.
I agree with the previous post that with SP2010 you can simply use InfoPath designer for form design and do whatever you like to the look.
In SharePoint 2007, there are a couple ways incuding using SharePoint Designer, editing the form .aspx file, hiding the out of the box form and inserting a custom form which you will then be able to edit. You can also add in JavaScript code there as well.
My preferred method if you are just making some visual modifications is always JQuery which you can add in to a content editor and you can look for the particular tags surrounding rows or columns and attach to them and make your changes.
I think your question and tags need further clarification to get an articulate answer from anyone that will actually help you.
You can edit the layout using InfoPath 2010 like described here:

If you've got the SP2010 Foundation or SP2007 version, you can create custom list forms using SP Designer which gives you the option to do whatever you like since those are .aspx files.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-designer-help/create-a-custom-list-form-HA010119111.aspx
You can also edit the aspx List form in SP designer. To add Javascript or jQuery you should create a form for New in PS design then edit in Advanced mode to insert your Javascript in the proper place. There are many tutorials on the Web that talk about this... Also, you can add content editor webparts to the new aspx page where you can insert your Javascript or jQuery.
For example, I want the Title fields in the body and the page headers of the document to be updated automatically whenever the Title field in the document properties panel is changed. I know how to update the fields, but I want to know the name of the event that will tell me when the document properties have changed.
Your help will be appreciated. Thanks.
I also asked it on the MSDN Forums.
You can certainly check for these kinds of things in some of the events, such as DocumentBeforeClose or WindowSelectionChange, but this may be overkill. Instead, you could just use fields - they will update automatically. For example, go to Insert and then click on Quick Parts and then Field... Go to the Document Information section in the dropdown on the left and choose Title. Then, insert that and go back to the Home tab on the Ribbon and set its style to Title.
You also mention you also want page headers - are those properties you're setting in the Document Panel?
Word doesn't have any events like that. The best you might be able to do is use the selection change event, which will happen fairly often, but then you have to check all the propertiers of all the documents.
I think you're trying to do something that Word doesn't normally do. There are certain times when fields are updated and that's it. Teach you users how it works.
