Description field on a list
Hi guys!
Just to confirm! Is it possible to exhibit the field "description" on a list, for example a SR list?
Thanks in advance
Rafael
Rafael,
though it's not possible in a list you can search it through reporting and export it in an excel.
Hope that helps.

Cannot remove description field after adding to the Custom List
Hello,
Applies To: SharePoint 2013
Problem: We created a Custom List and added a Description column from "Add from existing site columns" link. Now we need to remove it and it seems to have been sealed. We are not able to delete it.
There is no remove/delete link/button when we click on the field. Moreover in the Content Type it only shows Required, Optional, Hidden.
Requirement: Need to remove this field from the Custom List. Incidentally we added two of the description fields. We need to remove both of them without deleting the list itself.
Thank you and
Regards
Tanzim Akhtar
Tanzim AkhtarHi Tanzim,
Try the following code. I tested it and it should work for you.
Add-PSSnapIn Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell
$web = Get-SPWeb "Web URL"
$list = $web.Lists["List Name"]
$field = $list.Fields["Description"]
$field.AllowDeletion = $true
$field.Sealed = $false
$field.Delete()
$list.Update()

Dear All,
I'm trying to produce a list , using query , to produce the following list:
Table Name, T.Description, Field Name, F.Description, FieldType, Length
I use DD02L, DD02T and DD03L, DD03T.
Somehow - I dont get the same results as I see in the SE16, or SE11. Especially I mis some descriptions on filed level, and I do see them in the SE11.
Using a query, save effort of exporting the DD for evry table sepratlly.
This is strange.
Your help is greatly Appriciated.
Kind Regards,
Doron ZaccaiHelle Andreas, and all Others,
Thanks very mucht for the input!
The DD03M has the:
Tabel name, Field Name, Field Description, Type, Length, Decimals
Table description is abscent.
I have joind the DD02T, (Tabelname, and language).
And now I have all of them.
Thank you all very much.
I will try the FM mentioned, in the mentioned program. And will report on the result.
Kind Regards,
Doron Zaccai. -
We have a user who has a few hundred calendar items created in outlook. If you open the calendar item, the description includes tables with borders, shading, etc. It seems that the description field in Sharepoint calendars only support basic rich text,
so if I copy the items from the user's calendar to the sharepoint calendar, the formatting is lost. Is there any way to create a custom calendar with enhanced rich text for the description field?This is a workaround that is working for us. I created a new column "Event Description", selected "Plain Text" and then created a basic workflow that updated Description from Event Description. #160 is no longer showing.
Please be aware that the trick to this is that you must write everything in a string. In other words, don't use the Enter key.
In my case it was worth it as we couldn't rebuild and the user needed a valid and quick fix.

Receivables Items and Description Fields
Hi,
We are working in Oracle Applications 11i and I have an inquiry in the Receivabkes module.
From Transactions->Transactions Lines form (Form Name : ARXTWMAI) we have the info of item, description, etc.
As we are using another system to enter direct selling info/invoices, we are not using oracle order management module, and we have no setup regarding the items in oracle receivables module.
So, my question is: can we create a LOV for the two fields ITEM and DESCRIPTION? what are the possible solutions?
Thank you..Not sure exactly what you are asking..but
A. Item field is not mandatory...so you can leave it blank..if you have no use for it
B. Description field is mandatory....you can enter any free text.....OR pull up LOV ...which will list standard memo line you've setup in AR and select one of the memo lines.
Regards,
James Kim. -
E61i doesnt have the description in To-Do list
When synchronize my todo list from my outlook to my phone, in outlook I have description for my todo, but after sync, In the phone it self there is no description field is there, I could find that description field in my N95, but not in E61i. Any suggestion wouldbe appreciated.
BR,
IThanks for your reply John. I didn't get the notice that you replied until I searched again now for a solution. I figured out what cases the date change. When the iCal event that is typed into the calendar has a time that is later than the current TIME (which it always is by default because it rounds up to the next hour), and that event is then dragged into the To-Do list, the date is increased by one (as displayed when you double-click the event in the To-Do list. However, the day of the week and date listed in the ACTUAL To-Do list is correct until at least a day passes.
If I manually adjust the event from time rounding down to the nearest hour it always shows the correct date when double-clicking in the To-Do list.
This is quite confusing to explain but it is clear something is not working as it is supposed to if I can make it work by simply subtracting an hour to the event at the time I create it. Is there a fix for this or do I just need to manually set the time back for every event I create by an hour to get it to work correctly? -
Cleaning up the description field in the product export file?
Hello.
Here's the challenge: I have a large product list with large descriptions; with commas and other sorts of punctuation in it that will not allow me to simply download a product export file and re-upload it again without a lot of manual work to clean up all the "descriptions..." A lot of manual work.
Anyone know of a good way, or Excel Macro that can be used to clean up or remove all commas from the Description field in a product export file. Or maybe ignore this column, or something?
Many Thanks would be in order!
TadHi Nicole,
Thanks for the quick response!
Yeah, it is odd, because I've seen it work with some simple test sites with a few products, but not so fortunate on this one and it has many products.
When I export the product list, all the data is generated in a single column, and a few bad characters in the first row, I'll highlight that column in Excel and "convert column to rows using comma delimited." I've tried a number of ways with the same results... For every comma in the description it'll push the text into the next column and offset the applicable information. In the end I have rows that don't have correct info and field elements not aligning with the right data. I'll end up getting a multitude of errors like the one below:
Error ERROR: [No Name found]. Import process failed on record: [35] Please ensure 1) mandatory columns are present, 2) all products have Product Codes defined, which should be unique (if importing products)
Example of export down load - single column - one record with header
Example of column converted to rows - one record with header (partial copy to column S):
Thanks for your feedback,
Tad -
Field containing a list of sizes or a table ?
Iain was kind enough to advise on using a table instead of a field containing a list of 6 comma separated items.
I did this, but can I throw a new slant on why I'd prefer to use a field ?
JEWELLERY WEB PAGE
select * from merchandise where merchandise.category = "Jewellery"
PRODUCT DETAIL PAGE
When a user clicks on any items from above page, the hyperlink sends the unique merchandise_ID in the link, to a product detail page using a new query:
select * from merchandise where merchandise.merchandise_ID = URL.merch_ID'
This jewellery comes in various sizes. These sizes were in a comma separated list in a field called 'sizes' in the merchandise table. I'd been advised to move them to a table instead. If I moved the sizes to a separate table I'd have to add a LEFT JOIN to include the sizes table or run a separate query on the sizes table (where sizes.merchandise_ID = URL.merch_ID) - which is a performance hit.
All I need to do with the sizes is produce a drop down list the user can choose from - so isn't it better I just put the sizes in a single field, separated by commas ? Then use Coldfusions inbuilt functions to parse the list into a drop-down box ?A thought experiment that might convince you.
Lets compare these two data schemas.

Now imagine these two systems extended to multiple thousands of items.
Then imaging that some marketing type decided that "Large" was an ugly description for that size so they want to change it to "Husky" and|or they want to change the "Small" size to "Petite".
In the Normalized version you make one or two updated to the size table. I don't even want to try and describe the ugly update you have to try and create that involves looping and string manipulations to try and update all the records in the CSV version. -

Does anyone know why the Setting NAME & DESCRIPTION fields are grayed out?
Hi,
I'm using Compressor 3.0.5 and it works fine, except that I cannot reach the Settings "Name" or "Description" fields to alter them. As I'm going about finding the perfect setting for whatever application I need, I'd like to change the name and description to match. I can "save as..." and rename it, but I cannot change the one-line description that sits under the name in the list.
What am I doing wrong? The manual says I should be able to do this and I always had been able to in previous versions.Those changes can only be made when the preset is in the Settings window.
So, drag a setting to a target in the Batch window, tweak it until you're satisfied,
then do a Save As. Now select the Preset you just saved +from the Settings window.+
Doing so makes the name and description fields editable. -
Workflow Description Field truncation
I was wondering if there was a work around to display more than 256 characters in the Approval workflow history list for column description? If, so how do you do it? I deployed a custom Approval workflow using SharePoint Designer 2010 and InfoPath. It
is working really well just that when a user rejects an item they have to put a comment. In most cases it is below the 255 limit however, in some instances it is above. Any help is appreciated!Hi ams015,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the limitation of the Description field in workflow history.
The description field of a workflow history list is truncated when the number of characters used goes beyond 255. This behavior is a by-design limitation, SharePoint 2010 implements a restriction on the number of characters that can be used in a multiline
text box. The reason is that the OLE property stream doesn't support more than 255 characters. Having more than 255 characters would cause problems demoting properties into documents.

I hope this helps.

CR2008SP3 - AD description field (string 65534) not showing on report
I am using CR2008 SP3 listing all the computers in AD.
select cn,description from 'LDAP://DC=xxxxx,DC=xxxxx,DC=xxxxx' where objectclass='Computer'
I can see all my computers but the description field does not display any data.
If you go into AD you can see the data for the description field for the specific computers.
How can I get this field to display on the report?Hello,
The OnDemand forum is specifically for applications like bi.ondemand.com or crystalreports.com.
I am moving this question to a more appropriate forum.
