Creating/modifying a Field Type list

Hi there,
According to the documentation (<installation-path>\weblayout\help\admin\content\add_custom_specific.htm) there are 5 types:
Text: 30 characters.
Long Text: 100 characters.
Date: Date format (such as dd/mm/yyyy or dd/mm/yy for the English-US locale).
Memo: 255 characters.
Integer: -231 to ....
Problem is that we need something bigger than Memo that's only 255.. where can I either add a new type or increase the Memo type?
What we're trying to solve is the amount of users that can be added to "Project Members" when creating a new Project... and that value is stored as Memo, we need to be able to add more users.
We already tried by adding to the config the MemoFieldSize to 4K and we made sure the field for this is big enough in the db, so I can't see why that isn't working.
Thanks to anyone that can provide help!

Hi Sonali,
Try finding out u r field in field group given by Nrisimhanadh(CPL_DISPLAY_NFP), in field description below we have check box for making field manadatoty untick it.
After making any changes in fields of any field group structure u have to generate layout each time(Tcode: CRMC_LAYOUTC_GENE) the changes made by u will appear only after u generate layout for u r iview.

  • Modify the Field Type of standard Table fields in a Query

    Hello. I have a question.
    Is there a way to "modify" the field type for standard table fields that are included in a Query?
    I made a simple query out of a join of tables, but several fields have a lot of decimals, and I would like to present them in the query without any decimals, just as a regular "N" field.
    I tried the possibility of creating extra local fields where all I do is transfer the value to the new "N" field, but I have many fields like this, so if there's a better way; I'd prefer that.
    Maybe somewhere in the InfoSet there's a way to modify the type of the standard table fields?
    Thank you.

  • Address field type

    I have 2 questions.
    1) I see Billing field for Leads is of type Address but when I create a new field, Address is not on the list of field type? Where is it?
    2) How do I create a custom field type similar to that of the Address field type?
    Thanks
    I'm using version 18

    At this time CRM On Demand does not have a address field type. The out of the box address fields consist of a "Address Block". You can use custom fields such as short text fields and picklist fields for address information.

  • How to unghost Field Control and Field Type

    We have created a custom field type and field control. As we know once we deployed field control and field type, it will keep some file like (Control file , XML file) in the file system (Hive).
    Due to business need, I just want to remove the dependency from file system and want to store every thing in database. means I want to un-ghost Field Type and Field Control. How can I achieve this.
    Please provide me some guidance on this.

    I don't think that's possible. Type definitions such as Features, Site Definitions, Field Type need to reside in the system hive. Only instances would be stored in the database.

  • Creating auto-increment field in SharePoint List

    In SharePoint, we can create the auto-incremental field by many ways, I am going to discuss two ways of doing it.
    Calculated field
    Item Event Receiver
    1. Using Calculated field:
    Using this we can accomplish it without doing any programing and it is a relatively simple way of doing it. By using “Calculated” column in SharePoint List we can create auto-increment field. We can accomplish this by creating a new column and choosing the
    column type as “Calculated (calculation based on other columns)”. And in Formula field, we have to enter [ID]
    In fact this will be using the values from “ID” field from SharePoint list that starts from 1.
    For example, if we want to start our auto-increment column from 100, we can modify the “Formula” field of Create New column screen, we can have to enter [ID] + 99
    For detailed info please follow the blog I wrote here: http://faisalrafique.wordpress.com/2011/03/19/creating-auto-increment-field-in-sharepoint-list/
    2. Using Item Event Receiver:
    By using this strategy, users have advantage to edit the existing values, we can also avoid it by making field read-only on feature activation. Using item event receiver, on ItemAdded event, we have to find the highest value among previously added items
    and then save the incremented value to current newly created auto-incremental column.
    For code of event reciever please follow the blog I wrote here:
    http://faisalrafique.wordpress.com/2011/03/19/creating-auto-increment-field-in-sharepoint-list/
    Happy Coding

    Use Sharepoint Designer to create a Workflow for the list containing the field to increment. For my project I had an Invoice field that I wanted to start with 1001 and increment from there so I made the following workflow to do this.
    In the new workflow screen in Sharepoint Designer create two actions in Step 1:
    Calculate Current Item:ID plus 1000 (Output to Variable: calc)
    then Set AutoIncrementNumber to Variable: calc
    This is just a guide. If you just want the auto-increment to start with 1 then you can just use this step
    Set AutoIncrementNumber to Current Item:ID
    Also, make sure you select the correct name for your field in the Workflow action instead of AutoIncrementNumber.
    Save the Workflow, close it, and then open it again in Sharepoint Designer. Check the box for "Start workflow automatically when an item is created." Save it again and then click on the Publish button to make it active on the sharepoint site. The value should
    now increment for each new item created in the list.

    Hello,
    Is there any other content type on library or check if there is any duplicate column? Could you please also show us your library columns detail? (pic is also fine of lib settings page)
    If you have any ""Property Promotion" column then SP create those columns as site column and associate them with this template so check "Allow management of content types" for that form library as well.

  • How to modify a lookup field-type to use checkbox instead of radiobutton?

    How to modify a lookup field-type to use checkbox instead of radiobutton?
    I would like to modify the behavior for the lookup field.
    Normally you get a screen where it is possible to search through a lookup. The items resulted from the search are listed as radiobutton items. Therefore you can select only one at the time to be added.
    Is it possible to have the items to be listed as checkbox instead? So that you can check multiple items and therefore be able to add multiple items at the time?
    For example:
    To add the user to 10 different groups on MS-AD.
    It is desired to have the ability to check multiple groups to be added instead only one at the time.
    My client would like to use this feature in many other situations.

    Displaying will not be a big deal but with that you have to customize the action class and its working as well.

  • "One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields" while accessing website pages

    We have a publishing website in SharePoint 2010. There are total 4 environments - Development, Test, Stage and Production. For some enhancements, we had to create some new lists and libraries. When we moved changes from Development to Test environment, everything
    worked fine. Relevant lists and libraries in lower environments were saved as templates (in .stp format) including content, imported to higher environment, lists/libraries were created in higher environment using imported templates. 
    Things worked fine from Development to Test. We did similar exercise from Test to Stage environment. Now in Stage, when we access some pages, we get error message - "One or more field types are not installed
    properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields.". ULS logs don't tell which exact list has got problems. 
    On searching for this error, I got many articles that explain how this could happen when we migrate from SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) to 2010. Though our case different (as all our environments are in 2010), we still tried following steps. 
    De-activate 'SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure' Site Collection feature
    Go to https://site-name/relationships%20list/allitems.aspx. This is a hidden list. Delete this list. 
    Re-activate 'SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure' Site Collection feature.
    Make sure that new hidden list with one item is created at https://site-name/relationships%20list/allitems.aspx
    However, this didn't help as we are still getting same error message. Appreciate if someone can suggest how this issue can be resolved. 
    Following are ULS logs:
    Unable to execute query: Error 0x81020014

    Hi Shrishail ,
    Some time this issue occurs if you have any custom filed types in the list or library and that field type is not installed on server .
    Can you please check that if you are having any custom field types column on the list and library and if that is the case you need to install that field type on the server. sometimes it happens if field types are not properly deployed / Installed then
    you have to uninstall that field types (retract solution) and deploy it again.
    Thanks,

  • How to create a workflow in SharePoint 2013 that modifies the Modified By field?

    Hello,
    I like to create a workflow that updates the "modified by" field in a list.  Is this possible? 
    Thanks,
    Paul

    the built-in audit fields (Created, Created By, Modified, Modified By) are managed internally by SharePoint. Workflows can edit metadata, but those changes will be made using the user who started the workflow, or by the author (if the workflow is set to
    impersonate the author).
    You cannot change the audit data.

  • How do I copy over "Created By" & "Modified By" field values to a new library, using PowerShell?

    I have a site that was migrated from SP 2007 to 2013, using a docave tool...this works fine and everything seems to be okay. However I now have to move documents from one Library to a new one, along with all associated metadata. I have a PowerShell script
    I am using to do this and it is working...for the most part...except for copying the authoring metadata. So when I run this PowerShell script, I get my "Created By" and "Modified By" fields updated with the "WindowsAccount" user
    account that performed the migration. This is what is confusing to me...after the migration, when I look at my Library, these fields are displayed correctly. Meaning I have documents that were created by John Smith, and modified by Jane Smith, showing up with
    the right metadata in the library after migration...but when I run my script to copy the documents to a new library, the output is not John Smith or Jane Smith but the "windowsAccount" user that performed the migration. Here is what my script looks
    like, in trying to get the right values to show.
    $sWeb = Get-SPWeb $SourceWebURL
    $sList = $sWeb.Lists | ? {$_.Title -eq $SourceLibraryTitle}
    $dWeb = Get-SPWeb $DestinationWebURL
    $dList = $dWeb.Lists | ? {$_.title -like $DestinationLibraryTitle}
    $AllFolders = $sList.Folders
    $RootFolder = $sList.RootFolder
    $RootItems = $RootFolder.files
    foreach($RootItem in $RootItems){
    $sBytes = $RootItem.OpenBinary()
    $dFile = $dList.RootFolder.Files.Add($RootItem.Name, $sBytes, $true)
    $AllFields = $RootItem.Item.Fields | ? {!($_.sealed)}
    $User = $sWeb.EnsureUser($RootItem.Author)
    $UserField = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValue($sWeb,$User.ID,$User.LoginName)
    write-host "User's Name: "$UserField.User.Name.ToString()
    Has anyone experienced something like this before? If so, what is causing this and how can I get my script to start displaying the right data for "Created By" and "Modified By"?
    Thanks,

    This is the expected behavior. Both "Created By" (internal name Author) and "Modified By" (internal name Editor) will be set to the user running the script. In order to update theses fields in the destination item with the values present
    in source item, the script needs to be modified. Read the values of these fields in source and update them in destination using SplistItem.SystemUpdate() method, like:
    $Author = $sWeb.EnsureUser($RootItem.Author) $Editor = $sWeb.EnsureUser($RootItem.Editor) $destinationItem["Author"] = $Author$destinationItem["Editor"] = $Editor$destinationItem.SytemUpdate()

    Can't create a Content

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to select the specific content type in new item form.
    This is a default behavior. The "Add new item" link uses the default content type and does not display a dropdown list to change that value. This behavior is hard coded into the control and can't be changed.

    The workflow will run as the person who initiated it. As such if the workflow starts when an item is created then it'll be running as the user who created the item.
    When the workflow changes anything the 'modified by' field will be updated to show the identity the workflow is running under. I think that explains your behaviour?
    To change it you could use an impersonation step but that would simply replace one name with another. I don't think you've got access to the 'SystemUpdate()' method in workflows which would allow you to avoid updating the modfiied by and modified date fields.

Maybe you are looking for
