Add a Document Library "multi-select dropdown" column

I need to allow my users to select more than entry in a drop-down when adding a new file to the document library. I cannot use the checkbox feature because I have way to many entries.
Is there a way to add a “multi-select drop-down” column?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to add a multiple-values dropdown column in a library.
You can add these entries into a list, then create a lookup column in your library, the lookup data is from the list, and select ‘Allow multiple values’, like the screenshot below:
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Issue with site template that contains a document library with a lookup column to another list

I have a document library called Proposals with a lookup column in the same site called Document Categories (multiple values allowed). It points to a list called document categories. I have several sample documents in the Proposal Library that
contain valid document categories. When I save the site as a template and instantiate it, everything is fine. However, when I remove the sample documents from the Proposal library and rebuild the site template, I can't get the template to
create another site. I get an error Unable To Open Lookup List.
I don't understand why I can instantiate a site from the template when there's sample data, but not when the document library containing the lookup column is empty.
Does SharePoint 2010 site template support lookup columns?
Why would it make a difference if the library is empty?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when you created a site from the template with no files in the document library.
I tested the same scenario per your post, and I can create a site from the template with no files in the document library with no errors.
To solve this issue, I recommend to verify the things below:
Did you save the site as a template with Include Content checked? If yes, I recommend to test if it works when saving the site as a template with Include Content unchecked.
Test the same scenario with a new site to narrow the issue scope.
I also recommend to check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
To check event log, click the Start button and type “Event Viewer” in the Search box.
For SharePoint 2010, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS.
You can check the ULS log by the methods here:

AF:QUERY : JBO-25058 when we add duplicate instance of multi select enabled and search

Sarah,
I could reproduce the error.
However, I created a drag-and-drop page fragment with quick search and table, and modified the adfc-config-EmpVw task flow to reference the drag and drop page:
<view id="EmpVwTable">
<page id="__120">/EmpvwDD.jsff</page>
</view>
And then I still get the same error, so this looks like an ADF bug to me.
I also created a stand-alone jspx page using drag and drop, same error as well. I suggest you make a testcase without JHeadstart and contact Oracle Support.

Document Library view selection menu missing

Hi,
I am encountering a strange issue with the SP2013 document library web part. I included a screenshot (see link) where you can see that the web part of the doc lib doesn't contain a view selector menu at the right side. This is only available after
you go to the document library system page by clicking on the title of the document library. Does anyone have experience with this issue? Its very frustrating because the customer wants to see all the views at the home page of the site. Thanks for the
help.

You can still get to those views using the ellipses next to the view name can't you?
It's probably related to the way that SharePont handles multiple web parts on a page. Rather than handle item references for multiple web parts they've been stripped out.

How to have multi select dropdowns for web request and adobe forms

Hi All,
I am working on interactive forms for CRM 7.0 using web request and ZCI layout.
When I say web request we define the fields required for the form in CRM that becomes the context for WDA and passed onto Adobe form.
This web request is a flat structure which mean if I have a node and attributes with in that you cant have multiple values to wards this node as in WDA.
Now My query:
I have a field called "xyz" since web request is a flat structure i just defined it as a string.
In WDA I made it a enumrated field and added key value pairs to it.
In Adobe form I binded this field to a WD native enum dropdown list every thing is fine untill here.
Now in the form I need this as a multiple select, so i changed the dropdown field to list box it works.
The form has to be submitted as a draft version when did so, it will not execute any APIs but saves the data to the web request.
When the same form is opened for the next time, with the data in web request it should reopen this field with the multiple seleced values high lighted.
since the field xyz is a single filed of string, how can i maintain multiple values in that...?
if there is a form status auto save function in Adobe form this might solve a bit but not sure when the form is opened 2nd time from web reqest view does it consider it as a new one or open the same form...?
I have such dropdown fields and problems including ones with depenedt values on one another.
I tried my best to explain the problem, if somebody can help me with this its much appriciated.
Note: Since this is dependent on CRM web request I am posting the same query in that block also apologies if this mean a duplicacy.
Thanks & Regards,
Sai

I got the solution and problem is solved.
Iterating & processing a enumrated dropdown is like any other dropdown /list box in adobe forms.

How to display Lov as Multi select dropdown

Hi
I am using 11.1.1.6 version.
I have created a LOV for one attribute, I want to display it as multiselect dropdown.
Could you please help me how to achieve this ?
Best Regards,
Jagadeesh Badri

@KT there is no such a thing. All the options are related to single selection.
@JagadeeshBadri as Vinay said, you need to create something by yourself. You can use selectManyChoice component to iterate over the view you want. Then write a selectionListener or something like that that will copy the selected items to your variable. What is your use case anyway?

How to remove or hide Name column while upload document in document library

Hi All,
In below print screen the first column Name* which always show when I'm going to upload the file which I don't want. It will be really help full if you provide some solution how to hide this column while uploading the document. Its really confusing the users
when they are going to upload the document in document library.
I already tested below steps. After clicking Document Content Type every column is clickable except "Name" column.
Go to Document Library settings -> Advance settings -> Allow management of content types -> check the box
Now go back to Document Library settings -> Under content types -> click Document content type -> select the column -> Hide this column
Every column is clickable except "Name" column so unable to resolve this issue. Please help.

MMS Hidden columns appearing in Document Library Settings / Column list

Hello all,
Before you read this please be aware that I have found a resolution (that might be helpful to others) but I am wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing and the cause.
Our scenario is as follows:
We use a Content Type hub
Most Content Types include one or more Managed metadata columns
The MMS Notes (hidden) columns (e.g. mms_column_name_0) have appeared on the 'Document Library Settings page under 'Columns' for 2 document libraries only. They appear under the actual name of the column (e.g. mms_column_name).
They are NOT visible to the user however (i.e. they are not selectable to be used in a view)
Looking at SharePoint Manager the mms Notes column's are marked as being Hidden = false. Altering this to true has the desired effect.
But has anyone else experienced the same issue as I'm inquisitive as to the cause.
The only thing I can think of that caused this to happen was us using 'Metadata navigation settings' (which allows you to configure navigation hierarchies) for the first time on one of the 2 Doc Libs effected . However, on testing it on other document
libraries the unhiding of columns has not occurred.
Can anyone shed any why this may have occurred?
Jason

Hi jasonl27,
this behaviour:
This is by design. Two separate lists do not have any type of relationship established to distinguish that the
columns are the same. For example, take an arbitrary column called "Position" being created on two different custom lists. Because the column Position is a custom column created
in the list, it has no mapping to other lists. The "Position"
in one list could refer to a title of a person
in one list, or a physical location on a different list. SharePoint cannot tell if these two items are the same or completely different. As a result, a new column name is added when we move the item.
perhaps you may try to do these steps:
$site = Get-SPSite -Identity "http://......../"
$web = $site.RootWeb
$field=$web.Fields["column name"]
$field.Update($true)
$field.Hidden= "True"
$web.Dispose()
$site.Dispose()

Aries

Issue when filtering with Managed Metadata Columns in Share Point Document Library

Hi All
I have a document library, and a four Metadata Columns in it, with each column having a number of term in it. I have no issues in adding a document or in term sets. We have set property of Managed Metadata Column as Allow Multiple Values. So some of the items
in library contains values with only one term set. While other documents contains values with multiple values.
We have a number of country sites having the document library with same metadata columns. In document library default view i am showing Metadata column, User want to filter the documents (view) based on Metadata column selected.
The filtering is giving inconsistent behavior. In production server it is giving in error with some correlation ID. On our development machine some times it is working fine and some other times it is given error of Validation of Viewstate MAC failed. i tried
on different countries sites.
I checked we have already kept the Metadata Navigation and Filtering under site action feature as activated. It was even more weird when i deactivated the feature on one country site and the filtering was working fine. And on other country site where i
kept the feature as activated and the filtering was giving an error.
Thanks & Regards
Amit

Hi Amit,
Have you checked the ULS error message for more information with correlation ID?
Please try using the library metadata navigation to filter these managed metadata columns value via configuring library "Metadata navigation settings" after you enabled the "Metadata Navigation and Filtering" feature,
then check if the issue would still persist.
Please see more information from below article with similar issue.

Cannot a file to document library with column validation

I have two problems
Problem#1: I can not create a file from C# code, If document library has a text column with Sharepoint column validation.
SharePoint throws exception if I invoke SPFileCollection.Add method.
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPGlobal.HandleComException(COMException comEx) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequest.PutFile(String bstrUrl, String bstrWebRelativeUrl, Object punkFile, Int32 cbFile, Object punkFFM, PutFileOpt PutFileOpt, String

String bstrLockIdMatch, String bstEtagToMatch, Int32 lockType, String lockId, Int32 minutes, Int32 fRefreshLock, Int32 bValidateReqFields, Guid gNewDocId, UInt32& pdwVirusCheckStatus, String& pVirusCheckMessage, String& pEtagReturn, Byte& piLevel,
Int32& pbIgnoredReqProps) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileCollection.AddStreamOrBytesInternal(String urlOfFile, Stream file, PutFileOpt fileOpt, String createdBy, String modifiedBy, Int32 createdByID, Int32 modifiedByID, DateTime timeCreated, DateTime timeLastModified,
Object varProperties, String checkInComment, Stream formatMetadata, String lockIdMatch, String etagToMatch, SPLockType lockType, String lockId, TimeSpan lockTimeout, Boolean validateRequiredFields, SPVirusCheckStatus& virusCheckStatus, String& virusCheckMessage,
String& etagNew, Boolean& ignoredRequiredProps) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileCollection.Add(String urlOfFile, Byte[] file, SPFileCollectionAddParameters parameters)
If I remove column validation, I don't get that error.
It would appear that the error is thrown internally in Sharepoint's Add API.
Not quite sure how to proceed now.
Problem#2: Even if I input a valid value in the column validation, the same error above is still thrown.
Confused................
[Update] Okay, I have found the reason for the exception (correct if I am wrong). Sharepoint File has metadata, and when I do the Add function, Sharepoint internally does a validation on the metadata and it will throw exception if not validated. That's why
validation would fail even when I am inputting some valid data in my field (because I am not sending that valid data to the Add function through metadata properties).So, my question now is:
Is it possible to prevent the validation on the metadata properties? Is there some APi for it?

I was probably not clear in my thread.
What I would want is for my code to upload the file to the server and then allow me to input my values for the metadata, THEN do the validation. Similar to how you upload a document to sharepoint library using the out-of-the-box webparts.
But, right now in my code, this is not possible. Uploading the file using the Add API will just throw an error BEFORE even allowing me to input any values for my item/file metadata. So, I am trying to find a way to upload my file without the validation (pretty
much like how microsoft does it in oob)
Not sure if this is clear enough now

Help Can not add music to library

When i go to file- add file to library- and select the file(playlist) from windows media play it doesnt do anything no error message or anything. I am not good with computers so i need help. All the songs are mp3's. I dont know what to do.

When i go to file- add file to library- and select the file(playlist) from windows media play
Make sure that you are adding actual files - not a windows media player 'playlist'.
1. Locate where you store the music files that you want (on your computer)
2. Select the file(s) or album folder
3. Move the file(s) to your iTunes library on your computer (usually: C: My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music)
4. In iTunes: File > Add File to library ....Or Add Folder to library > locate the files, select them and add.
Note: It's best to chose a Media Player that you fancy the most to handle your media. If you use two media players to play the same files - then it may cause a conflict between them resulting in duplicate files, files that are not found and automatic renaming of files etc.
Good luck

Can not add music to library.

I have tried adding music files (MP3) to library and it opens fine and allows me to select it but then it does not appear in the library. I've tried dragging and dropping but nothing. I have also manually added files to the Itunes folder. They appear but not in Itunes. If I uninstall Itunes and reinstall how will this effect the Iphone, and Ipod information apps ect? Will I have to redo all the sign in junk associated? Because honestly with an Iphone and two separate Ipods all with different info and logins is a nightmare I dont want to revisit.

Different View for same document library on a Wiki Page

Hi,
I am developing a Provided hosted app which have a functionality to create a document library with two Views. Also we need to show this document library in a wiki page with two different views.
I am using CSOM (C#). I am able to create the document library and the two views programmatically. But when I add the document library in the wiki page the default view (All Documents) is shown for both the web parts. There is an hidden view created with
the WebPartDefinition from the xml provided through code.
Through CSOM we are able make a View as default with the link below.
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/90433/add-document-library-xsltlistviewwebpart-using-csom-or-web-services
In my case both the webparts will get the same view, where I need different view for same document library in a wiki page.
Also I tried to update the web parts with the following code.
string viewString = @"<View Name='{0}' MobileView='TRUE' Type='HTML' Url='/SitePages/Home.aspx' Level='1' BaseViewID='1' ContentTypeID='0x' ImageUrl='/_layouts/15/images/dlicon.png?rev=23' >
<Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='KeyDocument'/><Value Type='Boolean'>1</Value></Eq></Where></Query>
<ViewFields><FieldRef Name='FileLeafRef'/><FieldRef Name='DocumentOwner'/><FieldRef Name='Modified'/>
<FieldRef Name='_UIVersionString'/><FieldRef Name='Editor'/></ViewFields>
<RowLimit Paged='TRUE'>30</RowLimit><JSLink>clienttemplates.js</JSLink><XslLink Default='TRUE'>main.xsl</XslLink>
<Toolbar Type='Standard'/></View>";
WebPartDefinition wpd = wpfound.FirstOrDefault();
string formattedstring = String.Format(viewString, wpd.Id);
wpd.WebPart.Properties["XmlDefinition"] = formattedstring;
wpd.SaveWebPartChanges();
web.Context.ExecuteQuery();
I created two views (viewString) as shown above.
The above code did not throw error, but it did not update the web part.
Please advise how to move forward.

Hi Samir,
When we click outside of the list view webpart on a webpart page (or allitems.aspx page) with containing multiple webparts, the list view webpart will lose the focus, and the selected items will be deselected, this is by design.
You can look at the following article with using the approach/workaround of Javascript to prevent the specified list view webpart from losing focus.
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/44360/list-view-loses-focus-when-additional-webpart-added-to-page
//Set focus on our list web part
var webPart = document.getElementById('WebPartWPQ1');
WpClick({target: webPart});
//Prevent it from losing focus
SP.Ribbon.WebPartComponent.$3_1.deselectWebPartAndZone = function() { };

Document library archieve issue

I have one Document library(Infopath form Library) , there several columns in Document library , one of the column is closed date, those forms which has closed date more than 1 month older they should move to another archiver document library.
For this I have written some Content policies and Rules, My site is subsite and configuration related to Content policies is in Site collection level, In site collection (Root site) I have created Archive document library , and set that as Destination Library.
Everything is working fine, document are gettign moved succesfully(By rule) however client wants that Archieve document Library in same site (Child site) however I am not able to give destination as Childsite Library, there is no option to select library
from child site, how can I select Destination library as child site Library??????
if you open "Content organisation Setting" from Site collection setting, you will get more idea about my question.
Please mark answer , if you think answer is helpful or correct.

Yes , I have saved original Library as List Template, created New Library by using this Library. I have created rule which will move Expired document to this "Old Tickets" library, I tested Rule By using uploading document to "Drop off" library it is automatically
moving to "Old Tickets" library , So Rule is working fine.
Somehow Expieration policy job is not moving that file to any location not even Recycale bin , even though Scheduled occureance Date is saying Completed, and I have also re-confirm I am running Same Job which is attached to Site. I have also checked the
logs, there is no error logs says "Running expiration job for XXXXX Document library" and then "ending job" there is no error.
I do not understand where to look now ?
