Adding new site columns to my issue tracking List, will result in having their Source field as blank inside the Issue content type

I have added an Issue tracking list to my SharePoint team site 2013. Then I wanted to add 5 extra columns to my list . So I did the following:-
I went to site settings.
Then I added 5 new site columns.
I went back to my list setting, I click on the “Issue” content type, and I added the 5 newly added site columns to my "Issue" content type , using the “Add from existing site or list columns” link as follow:-
And then these columns were added automatically inside the Edit, Create& Display forms.
But since this is the first time I work on such a task , so I want to make sure that I did every thing correctly. Because I am not sure why the 5 newly added site columns will have their source field inside the “Issue” content type as blank , as shown in
the above picture. So does this indicate that there is a problem ? or this is because I have added the 5 newly added site columns to the List content type and not inside the Content type at the site level ?
Thanks

Hi,
It’s by design, the Source field means the content type name.
As you said, when we create a new column, if we not attach the column to a content type, then the column would have not the source field option.
However, if you create a new column, then add the column in a content type, the content type would automatically update in the site.
Now, you would see a source content type appear.
Thanks & Regards,

I have a numbers spreadsheet for tracking company data. I want to copy the format of the spreadsheet (rows, columns,and formulas) but have all of the data fields be blank for the new year. How do I do that?

click and hold on one cell, then drag to select the range, then release, then type the delete key. Only inlude cells in the range you do not want to keey the contents of the cell. You can remove one-off cells by holding the command key and clicking cells to add or remove as needed.

SOCO: Adding new editable columns 2nd step

Hi all,
has anyone experiences adding new editable columns on 2nd step of Sourcing Cockpit.
My requirements are that user can modify Purchasing Group and Product Category of selected items in the work area.
Maybe implementing a web dynpro enhancement adding those new fields.
Any suggestion?
Thanks a lot.
Regards.
Angelo.

1. is it describe requirement product category do you wan to change in the sc items?
i think after you add into work area click the cart item and you may change the product category of the shopping cart
check gl account also changed upon configuration.
2.purchase group why do you want to change. since system proposes right purchase group upon reponsibility configuration
add the shopping cart and assign to you and you can see now BUYER purchase group.
please clarify why you need enhancement here.
or
dont you use redistribution work load option to change the purchase group from one to another purchase group.?

Can not modify the layout for my Default Display Form, inside an issue tracking list. the form will be blank after adding the cusotm styles

I am working on an Issue Tracking list inside SharePoint 2013. but when a user clicks on an item , the description field will occupy only a small area of the page , while most of the page will be blank as follow:-
so using F12 Developer Tools on IE i detect the marckup for the Description field as follow:-
where it is mentioned that it have a Width=350, so i add a Script Editor web part to the displayform and i specify the following to expand the field from 350 to 1000:-
<style>
#SPFieldNote
{width: 1000;
<style>
but the result is that the display form will display nothing when clicking on an item as follow:-
Of course if i remove the ScriptEditor web part the form will be shown again..
so can anyone advice from where i can force the default display item view to occupy the whole page size ? Thanks

Hi John,
Since width is mentioned in 'td' itself, so using styles we can't overwrite the width. For that you can implement javascript or jQuery code to set the width on td element.
$('#SPFieldNote').width('1000px');

Issue tracking list

Hi,
I would like to add history to Description filed in Issue tracking list.
Please let me know how?

Then if you want OOTB way, you may try the approach that I have suggested.
The advantage of Append Changes to Existing Text is it will keep adding all the descriptions entered by users, like history.
And this is how Comments field is implemented OOTB in Issue Tracking List.
Hope this helps!

Content Type settings inside a sub-site are going to be ignored, and it will use the parent content type settings

I have an enterprise site collection with the following content type settings inside the list content type (columns such as security, document type, etc as required):-
Then I have created a new sub-site of type enterprise wiki, the default list content type for the subsite will look as follow which have the columns such as security, document type as optional :-
But now if I went to the sub-site and I chose to create a new page, and i leave all the columns empty, then the system will raise an error that the columns such as; security, document type, etc are required. although inside the sub-site content type the
columns are defined as optional. So seems that the wiki page inside the sub-site is referencing the parent content type and not its own sub-site content type.
Can anyone advice on this please ?

Hi John,
I tested the same scenario per your post, however the columns retained the same settings in sub-site in the same content type.
I recommend to verify the things below:
Was the content type you used for creating the page the one created in the parent site?
Did you create another content type in sub-site based on the one created in parent site? I recommend to click the column name to go inside the column settings and then check if the Optional is selected. If yes,
change it and click OK, then change it back to Optional again to see if the issue still occurs.
Best regards.
Thanks

1. no
2. no. i did not create any content type. i have just create a new subsite of type enterprise wiki , and the content type settings will be same as the parent content type, which have all these columns set as optional. but seems these settings will be ignored
as these columns will raise an error if i leave them empty. so seems that the subsite's library will use the same settings as its parent site collection library, which have these columns set as required...
so i have the following , to make things clearer:-
1. inside the site collection , the content type at the site collection level have these columns as optional.
2. inside the site collection's library the list content type copy, have these columns as required.
3. on the subsite list content type copy, i have these columns as optional. but these columns on the subsite library will be treated as required columns ...

Adding the PSWApproval Content Type to the Outcome Options in SharePoint 2013 Designer

Hi All,
I would like to add the "PSWApproval Task" Content Type in the sharepoint 2013designer, in the process of creating a project server 2013 workflow.
By default the Share point Designer is taking the Task content Type as Workflow Task. Can some one help me adding the PSWApproval Task here. Attached is the snapshot of the same.
Thanks

Its funny I am researching tis very topic right now. I have a SP2010 environment I will be migrating to 2013. My content types were used in multiple site collections without creating or using a content type hub. So, I am looking for information to create
a strategy to get them into one.
I have in excess of 400 Custom content types. Also - Has anyone developed/documented a process for being able to rebuild/migrate data between content types. Part of what we are looking to do prior to implementing a new records management

Using the External Content Type as a column lookup

Hi.
I am working on a solution that will get data from a web service (third party) and create a list in SharePoint Online (Office365 E3 subscription). The use a column from that list as a lookup column for another list. The reason for this is to allow updates
on the third party data source to update the list in Office 365.
Using SPD 2013, I created that external content type then created the list. However, due to the limitations on BCS (which I just learned after googling it) that the only thing I can use from this column is the ID column.
Has anyone found a work around on the matter? I was thinking of just creating a list app then load the bcs data to it. My problem will be how to update the list every so often.
Thanks!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to use the External Content Type as a column lookup.
Per my knowleage, you can select all the columns in the external list.
You can create a lookup column in the list as below:
If you select Name, then you can get the Name column as below:
There is an article for your reference, although it is about the SharePoint 2010, it still works for SharePoint Online 2013.

Issue in adding new items to a O365 SharePoint Online List having lookup columns (Client Object Model)

I have two Lists i.e. Publisher and Products in my SharePoint Online site. They are having the following structures:
1. Publisher:
Publisher (Single line of txt)
     A1
     A2
     A3
     A4
     A5
     A6
2. Products:
Publisher (lookup to the above column)
ProductName (Single line of txt)
     A1                                                                   Apple

Can anybody please help me out?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update data to look up field.
I have a test about updating look up field using Client Object Model in my environment. lookup field will accept an array to set the field value.
Here is the code snippet:
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext("http://sp2013sps/sites/test/");
if (ctx != null)
List list = ctx.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("List3");
ListItem itemToUpdate = list.GetItemById(1);
ctx.Load(itemToUpdate);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
FieldLookupValue newLookUpField = new FieldLookupValue();
newLookUpField.LookupId = 3;
FieldLookupValue newLookUpField1 = new FieldLookupValue();
newLookUpField1.LookupId = 4;
FieldLookupValue[] newarr = { newLookUpField, newLookUpField1 };
itemToUpdate["lookup"] = newarr;
itemToUpdate.Update();
ctx.Load(itemToUpdate);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();

Added new site unable to return to old site

I had a site using my name. I changed a HD in my iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Opened iWeb to add a new site. Added the site with photographs. When I went to the original site, the new site took its place. I am unable to remove/restore to the old site using the my name.

I changed a HD in my iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
Did you get the Domain.sites2 file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on your old HD before changing the drive? That's where your first site would be for iWeb to use. If you didn't get it do you have a backup of the HD so you can get it from that? If not then you've lose your first site and will have to recreate from scratch.
When I went to the original site, the new site took its place.
So you named the new site the same as the old one, correct? That's why it replace the original site. You must name each site differently if you want them to coexist on the server.

Custom List definition site columns managed properties not appearing in search results

are showed. What 's the difference?

How to Color code the list items if Issue Tracking lists in Sharepoint 2010 SP1

Hi, Can any one guide me in making the list tasks color coded according to the status of the issue.
as if issue is Resolved ( green line ), Active ( red line ) etc.
example as following:
I have read a lot of blogs, but none have step by step guide. a step by step guide will be excellent. Thanks in advance.

etc
Thanks.

Do you have SharePoint Designer 2010 installed?
Open your site in sharepoint designer
click lists and libraries
click the name of your list
in "views" on the right, click "new..." and give it a name.
in this new view of the list, click in one of the cells of the actual list of issues, so that the contextual ribbon at the top will give you all the options you need.
Click "Conditional Formatting" in the ribbon. This will let you pick "row".
Then you just have to define your conditions:
if priority is equal to (3) Low, then pick yellow as the background color. Do the same type of thing to create the other 2 conditions.

Issue Tracking List Error

Hello All,
I've created an Issue Tracking (Task) List for our company with a customized view. I had to change the width of one of the columns (Description) in SharePoint Designer in order to accommodate a large amount of text. I changed the default
view to this new, modified view.
Now each morning, the first person that accesses the list receives the following error:
Unable to display this Web Part. To troubleshoot the problem, open this Web page in Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible HTML editor such as Microsoft SharePOint Desinger. If the problem persists, contact your Web server administrator.
Correlation ID: 6a01a375-2bc5-4ee0-b169-042da4858956
Could this be of my customized column width, and if so, how can I keep the customized column width without getting the error!
Thanks!!

Hi Benjamin,
The error can be caused by many reasons, so you need to check the ULS log for detailed error message.
For SharePoint 2010, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS.
In the meanwhile, you can clear the configuration cache for SharePoint to see if the issue still occurs.
To clear the configuration cache, please follow the link below:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jamesway/archive/2011/05/23/sharepoint-2010-clearing-the-configuration-cache.aspx
Please also check if the issue is caused by the KB2844286 Security Update on SharePoint 2010 as Cameron suggested.
Best regards.
Thanks
