Custom NewForm per content type

In a list, I have 2 custom Content Types. I'm trying to figure out how to customize the NewForm differently per each Content Type.
Anyone know how to do this?

Creating custom form with content type list - Shaepoint 2013 list

Hi All,
I have a list with a content type. So basically i have the default content type and another custom one.
I would like to customize the forms and taught of using sharepoint designer.
Is this a good approach or is it better using infopath.
When i try using infopath i don't know how i can using content type to create forms.
I basically have 2 forms based on the content types how can i separate this when using custom forms and what would be the best practice?
Cheers and thanks in advance

Hi Patrick,
According to your description, you want to create a form for each content type in a custom list with multiple content types. Is it right?
If we use Infopath to customize forms for a list with multiple content types, it only customizes the default content type, the forms for other content types don't have changes.
For your requirement, I suggest you use SharePoint Designer to create forms for content types.

Newform swich content types whilst entering data

Hi
I have a list with multiple content types.
When a new item is ceated I want the ability to switch content types whilst entering the data.
Is this possible with either InfoPath or SPD?
Thanks

Hi ,
When we create a new item, the content type cannot be changed.
The content type filed will show in EditForm when there two or more content types with the same based parent content type in the same list/library. For example, if you create a custom content type which content type is Item, then when you edit the item you
create based on the custom Item content type, you will see the content type field.
For your issue , as a workaround, you can create a new item based on a content type and save it. If you want to change the content type of the created item, you can edit it to change the content type filed.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Any ideas?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got an error while creating custom document set content type.
The issue is that you set the Inherits=”FALSE” in the element. If you set the Inherits=”TRUE”, the content type would work.
Based on the article form MSDN:
If Inherits is TRUE, the child content type inherits all fields that are in the parent, including fields that users have added.
If Inherits is FALSE or absent and the parent content type is a built-in type, the child content type inherits only the fields that were in the parent content type when SharePoint Foundation was installed.
The child content type does not have any fields that users have added to the parent content type.
If Inherits is FALSE or absent and the parent content type was provisioned by a sandboxed solution, the child does not inherit any fields from the parent.
It means if you set the Inherits to true, we would lose all our customization there.
If we set Inherits="FALSE", which means you then have to remember to explicitly add into the definition all the stuff you should be inheriting, like the default Doc Set event receivers.

Error after updating field and content type

Hi,
I have a feature with a custom list and content type.
I changed one field type from Text to Note, and made the same change in my Schema.xml file.
But after deploying I get an error when I visit my list.
"The file name you specified could not be used. It may be the name of an
existing file or directory, or you may not have permission to access
the file".
I have several sites with the same list, and all gives the same error.
What I understand from the ULS logs it can't find my schema file, but when I look at the 14 hive it is there.
ULS
Failed to open the file 'schema.xml'.
Failed to retrieve the list schema for feature {4D3315CB-7F20-4DB3-9CB3-258AC110F9BC}, list template 21973; expected to find it at: "".
Any ideas about how to fix this?
The text expected to find it at: "" can be the problem as I have my schema file in a folder named Correspondence List.
And in the 14 hive I find the schema at 14\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\my feature\Correspondence List\Schema.xml
This is from my manifest file:
<ElementManifest Location="Correspondence\Elements.xml" />
<ElementManifest Location="Correspondence List\Elements.xml" />
<ElementFile Location="Correspondence List\Schema.xml" />
Any help are appriciated

List with Multiple Content Types and Making new Forms...

I go to create custom forms based on content types. After I create using the wizard in the list it always shows the same form no matter which content type I pick.
what am I doing wrong?
David Jenkins

You can change the custom form on content type through SharePoint Designer. Do not change it on the content type directly, when you add content type in a list/library, then open list's content types in SP Designer and then select your content type and modify
the URLs of your custom display form.
I have updated a document in gallery for
step by step development of custom workflow and custom task form. In this document you can find the association of custom form with content type using SP Designer.

Video Content Type Welcome Page

For most document sets, you can determine which fields show on the welcome page by going to Document Set settings - Welcome Page Columns, but the Welcome Page Columns section does not show on the OOB Video Content Type. How do I change which fields show

Specifically, I want to be able to display a custom field and remove the owner field.

Can't find content type?

First off, I just want to thank the people that take time out of their day to answer questions on this, or any forum for that matter. You people empower thousands of others with your knowledge.
I'm working in code behind for a custom edit list form, trying to get a custom content type I created in this solution to create a new document set off of. Both my custom list and my custom document set content types show up in site settings, but in code
I can't find the custom document set content type.
SPContentType documentSetCT = currentWeb.ContentTypes["Document Set"]; //gets OOB "Document Set" content type
SPContentType customListCT = currentWeb.ContentTypes["CustomList"]; //gets my custom content type based off Item
SPContentType customDocumentSetCT = currentWeb.ContentTypes["customDocumentSet"]; //Finds nothing
Thoughts? What am I doing wrong here?
- Daniel

Hi,
Does this custom content type appear in the “Site Settings”->”Site Content Types” page?
I suggest you retrieve all the content types programmatically to check whether your custom one exists.
The code below will retrieve all the content types for your reference:
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sp"))
using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)
SPContentTypeCollection cts = web.ContentTypes;
foreach (SPContentType ct in cts)
Console.WriteLine(ct.Name);
Feel free to reply if the issue still exists.

List with multiple custom content types - Show content type selection option in the list newform page

In my project I am using SharePoint Online 2013 and there is a custom list with two content types. While creating a new item in that list, can we show the content type drop down list along with other columns? While editing an item I am able to view the content
type dropdown in the edit form associated with the list. Can we enable the same for the default newform as well?

How to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx?

Dear SharePoint Developers,
Please help.
I need to know How to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx?
I think this is a "sealed column", whatever that is, which is shown in SPD 2013 as a column of content type "document, folder, MyCustomContentType".
I know when I set the column order in my custom Content Type settings page, it is correct.
But, when I load the NewDocSet.aspx page, the column order that I set in the settings page is NOT used for this "sealed column" which is bad.
Can you help?
Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx.
Per my knowledge, if you have Content Type management enabled for the list or library (if you see a list of content type with the option to add more), the display order of columns is set for each content type.
Drill down into one of them and you'll see the option under the list of columns for that content type.
To apply the column order in the NewDocSet.aspx page, you need to:
Select Site Settings, under Site Collection Administration, click Content type publishing. In the Refresh All Published
Content Types section, choose Refresh all published content types on next
update.
Run two timer jobs(Content Type Hub, Content Type Subscriber) in central admin(Central Administration--> Monitoring--> Review timer jobs).

I lost the ability to order and hide site columns if i use custom content type with a custom Create Form

I have a team site collection and I want to add a new App of type Issue Tracking list. so I did the following:-
From the site collection I created a new App of type issue tracking.
Then from the site collection I created a new Content type named “CustomIssue” which has its parent as “Issue” content type.
I went to the Issue tracking list and I changed the default content type from Issue , to the new “CustomeIssue” content type.
I open the site collection using SP designer and I created a new Create form for my Issue tracking list based on the "CustomIssue" content type and I select to have the Create form as the default form when creating an item.
Everything till this point worked well. But when I open the “customIssue” content type , and I re-order the columns and I hide some columns, this was not reflected inside the custom Create form …
although when using the default content type and the default create form you can control the order of the fields and to specify if certain fields hold be hidden inside the Create form.. so can anyone advice on this please?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you lost the ability to order and hide site columns if i use custom content type with a custom Create Form.
I try to reproduce the issue, the result is the same as yours.
As a workaround, if I modify the custom content type form the site setting, and then change the NewForm as the default form, it will change the column orders.
However, if I use the new created form as the default form, it will remain the original orders.
I recommend that you modify the custom content type form the site setting, and then reset the NewForm as the default form.
The result is as below:
