In my last post  I extended the view of a list. The goal was to add the unit of measurement next to a numeric value. Now I want to extend it by adding the unit into the forms (new, edit and display) of this list. This is how the form usually looks like: At first we need to write the code.

Lists in SharePoint 2013 are very minimal and nice looking. You can have multiple use cases for a list. For example a list of cars. I made a very simple list of cars with three columns: We can see the title the power and the manufacturer, but what is the unit of measurement for the power? To answer this question we should build in the unit.
