I have a code base that houses all of the column, content types, template, and list instance definitions. Am using the Update functionlaity a lot from version to version. Has been working well to this point. I just added two new columns (fields), one a Lookup and the other a Multi-Lookup. The fields are added fine on the update, columns look correct and the content type to which these were added also look fine. I can create a new List instance from the content type, and the new lookup columns are fine. The problem is this. Any existing list instances that were created from this same content type, now blow up when I try and access list items via the SP GUI. Something about a valid GUID, I dont't have the exect error anymore, but will repost it when I recreate the issue for the tenth time. I tried deleting the new lookup fields from this new list instance, thinking that I might be able to re-add them to fix the problem, but I get a new stack trace when I try and re-add them. Any hints on where I can start digging would be appreciated. I think I'll start with comparing the list instance schemas between an existing list and a newly created one.  

I've got an External List and I want to create a Site Column, which is Lookup to a column in my external list. If I tick any of the columns in 'Add a column to show each of these additional fields' and click OK i get the following error message:

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]

The scenario: The site "S1" in site collection "SC1" contains a list "L1". I want to use list "L" in a lookup column "L2.C" in a list "L2" in a site "S2" in another site collection "SC2." Both sites are within my company's internal network.

What's the easiest way to do this? Searches of both TechNet and the Internet failed to help.

hi,

Got and problem with and lookupfield I create some list instances, list definitions, content types with a lookupfields and all works fine  the list resovels the good list source guid so I can selected te values but when I try to save I get;

<nativehr>0x80070057</nativehr><nativestack></nativestack>Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only.

When I manualy create a new list instance from the list definition everything works fine.
I'm guessing that the create list instances in the feature is causing the problem?

What am I doing wrong?

 

class FeatureReceiver:SPFeatureReceiver

{

public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)

{

SPList _SPList = (SPList)properties.Feature.Web.Lists["DestinationList"];

_SPList.ParentWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;

 using (SPSite oSiteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site) // or give a destination site collection here...
                 {
                    
                     using (SPWeb oWebsiteRoot = oSiteCollection.OpenWeb("/sites/Source1/Source11"))
                     {
                       
                        SPList oList = oWebsiteRoot.Lists["SourceProjectList"];

Hi all

New to Sharepoint here, so apologies if the question is unclear.

We would like to store centralised reference data in a dedicated site-collection and allow it to be accessed from other site-collections using list lookups. Can anyone recommend a webpart that would allow us to do this? I've found lots of cross-site list webparts, but not for crossing SC boundaries. Is there an OOTB feature that we could extend to achieve the same thing?

Thanks

Ewan

I have created a list in the root web that contains common information used by multiple sites throughout the site collection.  I have also created a site column that is a lookup column which pulls from that list.  This way, I can add the site column to any list in any sub site in the site collection. 

I have a list in a sub site in the same site collection that I have added the root web site column to and, from the UI perspective, everything works great.  I can add a list item to the sub site list and select an item from the root web list for that column. 

However, if I generate a strongly typed data context and associated classes using a Visual Studio service reference to ListData.svc (or if I just play around with the REST XML in the browser), the class property which represents the lookup column in the sub site list only contains the ID of the lookup item, not a reference to an instance of the item. 

I understand that the experience getting list information from a different site is usually less than optimal but are there any workarounds to get a reference to that lookup list item via the REST API?

Hi,

I want to populate a column which is of type lookup.I used the web service provided by the sharepoint. This column should contain multiple values. For this I used the format ID;#lookupvalue.But the column is not getting populated.

The elbatch.InnerXML looks like IS

"<Method ID=\"2\" Cmd=\"New\"><Field Name=\"RFPRequirement\" Type=\"Lookup\">623</Field><Field Name=\"Product\" Type=\"Lookup\">232</Field><Field Name=\"Offering\" Type=\"Lookup\">49</Field><Field Name=\"Services\" Type=\"Lookup\">212;#B: Event Management Service;#215;#(B) Incident Management Service;#217;#(B) Proactive Problem Management Service</Field></Method>"

Also I tried separating only the IDs by ;#.The elbatch.innerxml is

"<Method ID=\"2\" Cmd=\&q

Hi All,

Just want to ask how can I cross-site list lookup using sharepoint 2010.

 I’ve created two Sites. TestSite1 that has a list called List1 and TestSite2 that has a list called List2. The problem is when I tried to create a lookup column in List2 so I could see the List column in TestSite1 I could not find it.

How can I do this using the OOTB SharePoint 2010?

 

Thank you in advance.
