Description Fields

Hi Group,
Is there a possibility to configure description fields in a way that they
allow only as many sign as long they are. At the moment, I can type in more
letters and because the field is not automatically resizing, the text
disappears.

Thanks and Regard's.

Thanks for the reply.
The name of the view is V_PC_DOTC_ITM on which we have the records. On each line item there is a description field which is of type (LinkToAction). I want to enable user so that it can change the Description text (I will handle the action). Also, if you have any idea about updating the database table from here as it needs to be updated in BBP_PCPOS table.

Is there a way to have the description field in a calendar list item to support enhanced rich text?

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.

Is there a way to display again the description field by clicking on the gold star near the url (useful to type memos about this site)?

In the previous versions of Firefox, when you click on the star near the url, you can add this website on your favorites. Another click and you can edit some fields about this bookmark, like the url, the folder, etc...
But with FF17, the Description field is no longer there. You can only find it when managing your bookmarks, that is not really user friendly.
Is there a way to add again the description field when clicking on the gold star? It's very useful for adding notes about this website, and it's also synch with addins like Xmarks

I used Duplicate Annihilator to isolate dups in iPhoto on my iMac. At the end it told me it had marked the word duplicate in the comments / description field. How do I find and delete the marked photos?

I used Duplicate Annihilator to isolate dups in iPhoto on my iMac. At the end of its search, it told me it had marked the word duplicate in the comments / description field. How do I find and delete the marked photos?

File -> New Smart Album
Description -> contains -> Duplicate
will find them.
Then the keystroke to delete depends on which version of iPhoto you have. All the keyboard shortcuts are under the Help menu.

Error when creating a description field. MySQL syntax to use?

I'm creating a form which has a description field in it. I created this form with many fields. However I then got an error and decided to limit the form to only 2 fields. These 2 fields (user and title) insert with no problem. However when I added the description field into the mix. I gat the same error I had previously gotten.
Error:
Internal error.

Hi,
I am working on an image gallery using the tutorials.
I used the sql

I tried the solution above by removing the desc limit.
I got the same prob.
I will like to know how best to tackle this.

Creation of a product description field of length 250 car. used for search?

Hi all,
we need to create a specific description field for products with a length of 250 (the standard description is too short at 40 car, =>table COMM_SHTXT) . That field should also be added to the search criteria.
What would be the best solution for this creation , given that the field must exist also in ECC SD from where the product is replicated to CRM :
-creation of a Z-append to the product table in ECC (table MARA?) and a corresponding include in the product table in CRM (COMM_PRODUCT) ?
-creation of an attribute in ECC (or Z-append) and creation of a "set attribute" in CRM (i.e transaction COMM_ATTRSET), but there are warning in CRM when you create an attribute of length > 132.
-using the standard Texts (no limitation of lenght) attached to products : is a search possible on these texts?or too complicated/poor performance ?
Regarding the display in CRM UI, is it possible to display all the 250 caracters if the field is a customized "set attribute" or a Z-append? It seems that it is not possible to display a string field on more than one line in the UI configuration, or even, on more than 8 columns in an assignment block?
thanks for your help
Ludovic

well, I have found at least how to replace the error message (length of max 75 car for PC UI) . Instead of trying to edit manually table T100C, there is an entry in customizing SPRO (cross appl/SAP Product/basic settings/Define Characteristics of System Messages
) which allows to customize standard messages , and so change from Error to Warning.

Populating description field in selection-screen

Hi Experts,
My WD report has a selection-screen with select-options and parameters built using IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS.
One of the select-options has a search help, but the value it returns is a guid, so I want to have a new read-only description field, populated with the description of the selected value, next to the input field for the guid.
How can I do this?
I tried adding a new read-only parameter field and populating it in WDDOMODIFYVIEW but I got a short dump when I tried to set the value, because the new field is not in the context of the component controller.
Many thanks, Ben

Hi Ben,
You will have to define the new field in the context and then programatically bind the value of the description field to this attribute.
But ideally, you can have a structure, which the two fiels (guid & description), and define a search help which is mapped to the structure, then you do not need to do any programming, the description field should get populated automatically.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Wenonah

Workflow Action: Trouble adding a new line in "Description" field.

Hi folks. I'm really having a difficult time with this one and it seems so simple...
I am struggling with how to get a field update action to enter a line break in a note field. I've tried "\n", "\n\r", "chr(13)", "chr(10)", " " and so on.... it just puts the text of what I use into the Description.
Here's the simplified workflow action...
[<NextStep>] + "\ \n" + PRE('<Description>')
What it's supposed to do.. is every time someone updates the field [<NextStep>], I want to replace the contents of the description field with the new value for nextstep (plus a new line) and then followed by everything that was in the description field previously. This way I have a running log in the description field.
Idealy it should put:
Today() + ": " + [<NextStep>] + <line break> + PRE('<Description>')
but when I add the Today() it ignores everything that follows. I'm not as worried about that as I am about the inablity to put in the line beak. Please help!!!
Thanks!
Edited by: ThinkGadget on May 11, 2009 9:13 AM because the forum interpreted the "\\n"
Edited by: ThinkGadget on May 11, 2009 9:15 AM (I put a space between the two back slashes so that the forum doesn't interpret it as a new line)

I had used the "\\n" in my expressions to add a new line in the Description field. Only issue is also add a \ to the end of line but that was acceptable in my case. We are on OOD R16.

The "i" button for Videos in Description field

Is there a way to get the "i" button in the description field (to show description in a separate pop up window) to show up for videos (the video icon under in Source area)?
They show up in the iTunes video store and for downloaded Podcasts (under the Podcast icon in Source area not Library), but do not for up for dowloaded Videos (or even for dowloaded podcasts when looking at them through library (main library in Source). The descriptions of some of the TV Shows I have bought through iTunes are very long sometimes and have almost found it easier to just find the show again on the iTunes store and click on the "i" there instead of trying to spread the description column at wide enough to be able to see enough to make sense of what it is saying. But that still should not have to be done, so I am wondering if I am missing a preference setting somewhere or if it can be done through terminal or editing the iTunes preference file. I have sent it off as a suggestion, but I wanted to see if there was a quick solution that I am just over looking.
thanks

Well all I can say is that after the 10.6 update, I too lost my Get and Subscribe buttons once again. I downloaded and ran the install procedure and used the Repair option within it and that solved the issue. I only had to run it once though.
If you've done this twice without the problem being fixed, I don't know what else to suggest.
Sorry.

How can I clear the description field of ALL my bookmarks at once?

Hello,
I would like to clear the description field of all my bookmarks. To do this manually would be horrible. Is there some tool that can do it? Or is there some trick to edit the sqlite file?
Also I'd be interested how I can stop Firefox from filling the description field when adding a new bookmark.
Thank you in advance

Auto-populate Computer Description Fields in AD Console

Hi guys,
I need some help with populating computer descriptions in AD. I have searched this on google numerous times and everytime I find a script there are loads of comments with "changes" saying it doesn't work.
What I am looking for in the description field is the last logged in user and the date and time of when they logged in. Now as we don't have multiple tenant machines this only needs updated every few days.
I want a solution really to find machines that aren't used, as the IT asset register is severely out dated! Plus this is always a handy feature to have for future reference.
If anyone knows of a script online somewhere or has one they use successfully I would greatly appreciate it and also some advice on how to deploy it (I know it gets added in to GPO but not 100% sure how).
Thanks

To track user logon / logoff, you can simply refer to what I shared here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/20422.record-logon-logoff-activities-on-domain-servers-and-workstations-using-group-policy.aspx
If you want to populate the collected information and put it in the Description field, you can simply use a Powershell script that reads the CSV files and set the value using
Set-ADComputer cmdlet: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee617263.aspx
To identify obsolete computers, you can refer to lastlogontimestamp

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

Hi 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()

IOS 8: The textbox to change the description field of the iCloud email account no longer exists

The textbox to change the description of the iCloud email account that existed in all previous versions of iOS, and is available for all other types of email accounts under iOS 8, appears to have been removed. Without this textbox, it is not possible to change the default description of "iCould", or to change a description that was set with a previous version of iOS. The description field still exists, as the value that I set on a previous version of iOS is still being used by some of my iOS devices, but there is currently no way to change it via the current iOS 8 UI. The description field is available to change for all other kinds of email accounts.

Confimed. And I hope they put it back soon.
I used an iCloud backup to transfer everything on my iPhone 5s to my iPhone 6. The (modified) description for my iCloud account transferred and appears the way I want it to appear on my iPhone 6. However, it cannot be changed.
Alternatively, I also have a new iPad Air 2 that I set up as a completely new iPad (i.e. I did not transfer anything from an older iPad). The iPad shows the description for my iCloud account as the default: "iCloud." It, too, cannot be changed.
True, this is only a minor annoyance, but it would be less of an issue if Apple had not removed a feature that previously existed in iOS 7.
I'm not sure if the removal was intentional or unintentional, but, again, I hope this gets fixed soon. In the meantime, I would be interested in anyone can find a workaround.
