Duplicate Fields during list creation from content types and site columns

Posted By: Posted Date: September 26, 2010 Points: 0 Category :SharePoint

I am trying to create a List in Sharepoint 2010 using Site Columns and Content Types. It results in creating duplicate fields in the list for the Site Columns used. Here is the details description of what I was doing.

I have created two site columns

<Field Type="Number" DisplayName="Start Coordinate" Required="TRUE" EnforceUniqueValues="FALSE" Indexed="FALSE"
Group="QMS" ID="{A3F2D108-11B5-4B49-9633-338D27227E12}"
Name="StartCoordinate" Overwrite="TRUE" />

<Field Type="Number" DisplayName="End Coordinate" Required="TRUE" EnforceUniqueValues="FALSE" Indexed="FALSE"
Group="QMS" ID="{06B927BB-C354-4A0A-AE88-9C14E55EAB27}"
Name="EndCoordinate" Overwrite="TRUE" />

Then added these to a new content type I

Multiple Content Types in a single list - how to edit fields outside a content type

I have a single list and created two content types on the list in order to reduce the amount of visible fields a user sees when entering a form. Once the form is filled out by one group with the limited data, an alert is sent to another team that adds to the list item using the larger set of fields defined by the second content type. Unfortunately it seems that the edit burron remembers ihe initial content type that the entry was created with. Is there another url to access the edit button for the same entry using the alternate content typr?

How to set the order of custom fields in custom list definition of Multiple Content Types

Hi all,

First of all I am sorry for my poor english.

I have a custom list definition and I have mentioned two content types in the "Schema.xml" file of this list. I need to change the order of fields in NewForm.aspx and EditForm.aspx.

For e.g. I have two content types ContentType1 and ContentType2. ContentType2 is inheriting ContentType1.

Fields of ContentType1 are

1. Field1

2. Field2

and Fields of ContentType2 are

1. Field3

2 Field4

When these fields display on new form the order of fields is

1. Field1

2. Field2

3. Field3

4. Field4

But I need to change the order of field by

1. Field1

2. Field3

3. Field2

4. Field4

Can anyone help me to change the display order of fields in new and edit form?

Thanks & Regards,

Sandeep

Site content types Vs List content types

Hello all,

While creating my first SP site using visual studio 2010; following the best practices guidelines from Microsoft I created a content type for each data entity and of course a site column for every and each field in those entities -can't describe how tedious this was-. Anyway, when I started creating List definitions based on those content types I noticed that the CAML xml code is literally copied to the schema.xml rather than referencing it. If I made any changes to the original content type it's not reflected in those lists. On the other hand when I make changes to the list content type -in contrast to the site content type- things are reflected on the site properly. Why the redundancy?

I mean I even tried to use <ContentTypeRef> in the schema.xml to reference my site content type and get rid of the redundancy with no luck!!! Content Types and even fields must be defined int the schema.xml with no direct relation to the site content type already defined in the project!! Fields must be defined in the <fields> element in schema.xml and referenced in the <contentType> element of schema.xml too, regardless that they're already defined at the site level!!

So, if I have to define content types/fields at the level of the list, and visual studio can't automatically track changes made to site content types, why bot

Assigning a reusable workflow to all content types in a list in one operation?

When creating a reusable workflow I choose a base content type. I would really like to assign this workflow to the content type at site collection top level and get it to automatically work in all lists that include this content type, and also have it set to work for all children of this top level content type. It seems to me that I have to manually associate this workflow to all lists and content types? I am missing something here? Henning

Client Object Model : Transactional update of list and content types

I am using Silverlight client object model to code against Sharepoint. Essentially, what I want is that when a user clicks a button, An item needs to be added to a list and also a new content type has to be created. button1_click() { //1. Create an item in a list. //2. Create a new content type. } Also this should be transactional: only if item is added should the content type be added too, otherwise roll back both. (and vice-versa). My understanding of client object model is that we at the core we are talking to Sharepoint WCF services. So if I say, using(TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope()) { ClientContext.ExecuteQueryAsync(); scope.Complete(); } can I assume that the updation will be transactional??

Problem with Update of Sharepoint Taxonomy Fields in custom developed Content Types

Dear all, we developed an solution on sharepoint 2010 for one of our customers with custom lists and content types with fields from the managed meta data store. As recommended we developed everything in features & solutions so that easy deployment is possible. Adding metadata to the termstore seems to work without problems, but today we stepped over an confusing issue: Our customer changed the default label of an term in the metadata term store, but the label did not change in listviews and detailviews of items in the specific sitecollection. In editview we see the correct label. After searching a while we discovered the connection between the sitecollection and the term store, the hidden Taxonomylist (/Lists/TaxonomyHiddenList/AllItems.aspx) in the sitecollection, which seems to map the terms. After testing we discovered that the term/label did also not change in the hidden taxonomy list. The Timerjob “Taxonomy Update Scheduler“ is running hourly with success and we also tried to start the job manually, but the label did not change in the hidden list. Also there are no errors in the logfiles in verbose mode. We also tested to create a managed metadata field manually, put it in a list and after that, changed the label. For whatever reason the update of labels on manually created fields works without a problem. Our lists, content types etc get created pr

MySite user profile site creation of My Content page is created as provisioned failed (unprovisioned

I've been trying to troubleshoot our User Profile Sync and have noticed the profile pages weren't getting updated with everything. Most content was but things like memberships and the content tabs weren't. I also saw this error in ULS: ProfSynch: Exception attempting to enumerate site 25a72070-4249-4698-ae99-c2a45d25b08e for ContentDB 23a6e3ef-6d56-4bde-825e-95c6924e2f91: Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.ProfileSynchronizationInternalException: ProfSynch: The site with ID 25a72070-4249-4698-ae99-c2a45d25b08e cannot be synchronized due to an unprovisioned root web. at Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.SiteSynchronizerCollection.GetSynchInfoForSite(SqlDataReader dr, SynchInfo info) at Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.SiteSynchronizerCollection.<get_Elements>d__0.MoveNext() I checked in the MySite database under the webs table and noticed all the My Content sites for all of our users had the flag column with the number 1315 in them - (meaning unprovisioned as the error above states). Cross checking with the User Sync Profile database under the SiteSynch table I noticed all of the sites have NULL for the value under both the LastSynch and ChangeToken columns (The User Profile Service Application - User Profile to SharePoint Full Synchronization timer job takes care of populating that).&

URGENT: Document Library Content Type not inheriting some fields from parent Site Content Type

I have a situation that has foxed me!! I have a site level content type that has 8 fields... I use this to create more content types at the site level and use these in multiple Document Libraries (I have 40 doc libs). This works fine for 38 of the libraries. But for 2 of them... 2 of the columns are not showing up on the document libraries. These are user lookups fields. I am not sure why it's not working in these libraries only! When I use the same content type in another library... the inheritance does not break for these fields!

Anyone please provide some guidance on this? I am using WSS 3.0 and SPD to do workflows.

On another note... the content type has a template (in excel) attached to it. When I create the content manually using the content type from the New menu option, the template is used... however, when I try to add it using an SPD workflow, it creates a blank template... the content type template is not being used.

Please help... I am in a fix and need to release this application today!!!

Should I activate the "Fields and Content Types for the Windows SharePoint Services Application Templates" feature?

Are there any drawbacks?

Any other words of wisdom?

Display Customize list having All Site Content Layout

Hi,

I am having Sharepoint 2010 RTM Trial on Windows server 2008 SP2. Also I am having Team Site.

I have noticed that All Site Content Page and a List Page (click on "Lists" link in Navigation Panel) are the same but Lists Page have some Query string attached to the Actual Page Link and therefore, only lists appears on Lists Page.

Can I display my custom Lists (List of my custom Lists) on a Custom Page through Webpart ? Or there is any alternate or workaround for that ?

Thanks.

Content Types vs Columns | Resources for newbies

I'm a newbie to Sharepoint generally and to Sharepoint 2010 in particular. What is the difference between Content Types and Columns? When would I use one over the other? Are there disadvantages/advantages to using one over the other?

Any Sharepoint 2010 "101" tutorials, articles or videos you recommend?

A word about me: I'm not a programmer or an IT administrator. I'm getting a Masters in Information Management and am working as a student employee to help buid out an intranet site on campus. I understand the power of metadata, but am brand new to Sharepoint.

Thanks for your help!

MOSS 2007 Strange Problem with edit forms, content types and document library columns

I'm having a strange problem and have not been able to track down any useful answers over google.

I inherited a SharePoint site that I am now making some changes to.

I am having problems with one document library. We had custom edit forms on this document library, which I was finding a pain to maintain so I reset them back to the site definition. This edit form now shows only those fields that are associated with the Document content type (the only content type - I've deleted the others) on the document library. There are other columns on this document library that are NOT associated with the content type that I would like to show on the edit form but they are not available when I try to add them to the content type via Settings > Document Content Type > Add from existing site or list columns. The select columns from drop down is set to List Columns. The Additional Authors column is just not there.

I CAN see this field on the all items view for the document library, it is there and populated with data.

Setting the Allow Managed content types radio button to NO does not have any impact on which fields are visible on the form- I still see those same fields that have been associated with the Document content type.

Has anyone else seen this or does anyone have any thoughts??
