Lookup Columns in subsites

Hey,
do you have a soloution for the following Problem:
We have a sitecollection (root) with a two lists and Sub sites which look exactly like sitecollection.
The subsites should import the data in the lists to the sitecollection by a timerjob where it gets monitored. But each subsites have ist own permissions! So noone can write to the sitecollection. Easy to solve... normally...
We have contenttypes on the sitecollection created. then we have several subsites in the sitecollection which inherits the contenttypes. With a web-Feature i add two lookup coloumns to the contenttype and all subsites inherits the lookup columns.
The Problem here is, that all of These subsites refer to the sitecollection lists...
Programmaticially i can not Change the lookup columns on each subsite to their lists in their subsite.
How can i solve that Problem?

When you are adding a column to the parent content type you get the following option.
On selection of yes all the existing lists from the content types will get updated with the new column. This option is available during the creation of new column as well as adding existing site column to the content type and hence will be available in Modify
View functionality
You can also use object model to propagate parent changes Immediately.

Site lookup columns empty on some subsites.

Hello all,
I have a lookup column that contains employee info from a list stored in the root of the site collection. I called it lkupEmployeeName
On one sub site that is one level down from the root, I have another list that contains projects. The lkupEmployeeName column is used to reference the employee name. This works fine.
I created another subsite one level down from the root and have a list there called equipment. Using the same lkupEmployeeName column there, the column is empty and I get a message stating that the service is not avail right now, click here to try again.
Of course clicking it results in nothing.
I added a new list item to the employee info table to see if the lkupEmployeeName column would update in the projects list and it does. Going to the equipment list in the site next door and it is still empty.
I have tried making another sub site and another lookup column. And for whatever reason any lookup columns I make now only work at the same level that they were created on. If I try to use the column on a different site they are empty.
Looking in SharePoint Manager, I have found the listID and webID attributes to be correct.
I have tried this with service pack one and without service pack one. (I have the machine duplicated in VMware) Either host has the same exact results.
My thoughts are that newly created sub sites are not connecting to the lists properly but I don't know why this is. The correct listID is showing in SharePoint Manager so I am stumped.
Ideas?

Update.
The above mentioned behavior happens if I use SharePoint designer to add site lookup columns to the list.
I just tried to add the site lookup columns by going to the list settings using the web interface and the lookup columns work fine. Apparently there is some sort of bug with the designer as I tried the same steps from another machine and it did the same
thing. There must be some sort of data missing that is not getting saved when I save the list through SharePoint Designer.
For now I will mark this thread as answered but I would still like to know the cause of this behavior if anyone else has any input.

Hi Tailorworld
please try the power shell script because you are facing problumn with default content type feature
Run the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell as Administrator.
Run the following command to disable the default content type feature:
Disable-SPFeature –Identity ctypes –url http://SiteCollection
Then enable the content type feature:
Enable-SPFeature –Identity ctypes –url http://SiteCollection
If you look at your content types, they should now all be there. Try saving the subsite as a template again, it should succeed.

Site Lookup Column As Managed Property

Please let me know if my logic here is incorrect or suggest better alternative. This is hosted on Office 365.
1. I have a Site Lookup column (EventLookup) that is linked to a list on my Root Site --> Lists/Events
2. I have a subsite with a list that references a (EventLookup) site column --> Lists/MyEvents
3. User creates an item in Lists/MyEvents and selects one of the Events from the Lookup Column
4. I crawl the site and in my crawled properties i can see ows_EventLookUp and ows_EventLookupUp:ID
5. I create a managed property KeyEventID and add ows_EventLookupUp:ID to it.
6. I add a CSWP and set KeyEventID:1 to return any item that has EventLookUp:ID is equal to 1.
Above never works, i cant search bring back any results based on that LookUp column.
Basically my managed property from a site lookup column doesn't work in Content Search Web Part. It is not filterable and doesn't return a value if i use search api to return it either.
help appreciated.

Hi Sudip,
Thanks for the response.
I did not get the answer to the first part.
Let me describe the scenario again:
Scenario-1: I have a site column and using the site column in the list. I am getting the crawled property and it is getting mapped to the managed property.
Result: I am good. Crawled property of site column is mapped to managed property.
Scenario-2:I have a list and I created a column (Go to List setting and created a column as Single line of text called "Foo").
Result: Here I don't see the crawled property getting created and mapped to Managed property.
Action taken to see the crawled property as given below:
1. Index reset
2. Full Crawl
Still for the Scenario-2: I don't see the crawled property.
Can I expect the crawled property to be available for created list column "Foo"?

Site lookup columns that contain a list with lookup columns help needed

Here is the theoretical scenario,
I have a list called Shirts. The list contains name,color, and size columns.
I have a list called Pants This list contains name, color and size columns as well.
These two lists are contained at the root level of the site. I created site lookup columns for these two lists and used the name, color and size columns as additional fields on both lookup columns. Lets call these lkupPants and lkupShirts.
On a sub site I have a list called people. It contains name,date,lkupPants and lkupShirts columns.
The list looks something like this is dataview:
Name Date lkupPantsName lkupPantsColor lkupPantsSize lkupShirtName lkupShirtColor lkupShirtSize
This is the behavior I expected. The additional columns selected in the site lookup columns appear in the list.
I now create another site lookup column this one is based on the list called people at this subsite level. When creating the site lookup column, the data from lkupPants and lkupShirts are not available.
How can one create a lookup column that contains list data and any lookup columns contained in the list as additional fields.
If anyone can see where I am going with this, can they provide another means to accomplish what I am trying to do?
fr0stsp1re

create additional columns in people list. look up values are available in the workflow so populate the additional columns with the values you need. this will allow you to create another look up column based on this list and all the fields needed.
just a thought.

Disbaling a value of a lookup column not to display the underlying record

I have a lokup column to a different list.
So, when it displays the record the data is displayed in hyperlinked way so that when we click on the hyperlink, it will take us to the view form of that record in a different list.
Could you please let me know, how do we make the hyperlinkdisplay as normal text just like any other column other than the title column value.
tnx

Hi,
Thanks for posting your issue, To remove your Hyperlink for lockup column you need to replace below tag
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="@mycolumn"/>
By:
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="substring-after(substring-before(substring-after(@mycolumn, 'ID='), '<'), '>')"/>
Also, browse the below mentioned URL for more details

Hi
XantosX5 ,
Thank you for your posting!
According to your description, I try to reproduce your scenario in my SharePoint Server 2013 environment.
I create a lookup column in a list and create a workflow 2013 for the list. In the workflow, I add Send an email action. Then I display the lookup column in the body of the email as the below figure:
When I start the workflow, it works fine.
Have you installed
the workflow manager 1.0 cumulative update 1 ? It can be the point. If not, please install it.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

[Forum FAQ] SharePoint 2013: Extracting values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and merge values to a multi-value enabled column

For some business requirements, users want to extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column
and add items to another list based on each separate value. In contrast, others want to find duplicate values in the list and merge associated values to a multi-value enabled column and then
add items to another list based on the merged value. All of these can be achieved using SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow.
How to extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and add items to another list based
on each separate value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
Important actions: Loop Shape; Utility Actions
Three scenarios

How to merge values to a multi-value enabled column and add item to another list based on the
merged value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
Important actions: Call HTTP Web Service; Build Dictionary
Things to note
Steps to create Workflow
How to
extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and
add items to another list based on each separate value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to
extract values from the Destinations column
in Lookup2 and add items to Lookup3 based on each country and set Title to current item: ID.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).\
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Important action
1. Loop Shape: SharePoint Designer 2013 support two types of loops: loop n times and loop with condition.
Loops must also conform to the following rules:
Loops must be within a stage, and stages cannot be within a loop.
Steps may be within a loop.
Loops may have only one entry and one exit point.
2. Utility Actions: It contains many actions, such as ‘Extract Substring from Index of String’ and ‘Find substring in String’.
Three scenarios
We need to loop through the string returned from the look up column and look for commas. There are three
scenarios:
1. No comma but string is non-empty so there is only one country.
2. At least one comma so there is at least two or more countries to loop.
3. In the loop we have consumed all the commas so we have found the last country.
Things to note
There are two things to note:
1. "Find string in string (output to Variable:index)" will return -1 if doesn't find
the searched for string.
2. In the opening statement "Set Variable: Countries to Current Item:Destinations" set the return
field as "Lookup Values, Comma Delimited".
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup2.
Add conditions and actions:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup2, then workflow will be started automatically and create multiple items to lookup3.
See the below in workflow History List:
How to merge values to a multi-value enabled column and add item to another list based on the
merged value using SharePoint Designer 2013
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to find duplicate values in the Title column in
Lookup3 and merge country column to a multi-value enabled column and then add item to lookup2 and set the Title to Current Item: Title.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Test (Single line of text).
Important actions
"Call HTTP Web Service"
action: In SharePoint 2013 workflows, we can call a web service using a new action introduced in SharePoint 2013 named Call HTTP Web Service. This action
is flexible and allows you to make simple calls to a web service easily, or, if needed, you can create more complex calls using HTTP verbs as well as allowing you to add HTTP headers.
“Build Dictionary"
action:
The Dictionary variable type is a new variable type in the SharePoint 2013 Workflow.
The following are the three actions specifically designed for the Dictionary variable type: Build Dictionary, Count Items in a Dictionary and Get an Item from a Dictionary.
The "Call HTTP Web Service" workflow action would be useless without the new "Dictionary" workflow action.
Things to note
The
HTTP URI is set to https://sitename/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('listname')/items?$orderby=Id%20desc and the HTTP method is set to “GET”. Then the list will be sort by Id in descending order.
Use Get
d/results(0)/Id form
Variable: ResponseContent (Output to
Variable: maxid) to get the Max ID.
Use Set
Variable: minid to Current List:ID to get the Min ID.
Use Copy from
Variable: destianation , starting at
1 (Output to
Variable: destianation) to remove the space.
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Test (Single line of text).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup3.
Add a new "Build Dictionary" action
to define the http request header:
Add a Call HTTP Web Serviceaction, click on
this and paste your http request.
To associate the
RequestHeader variable, select the Call action property,
set the
RequestHeaders property to
RequestHeader:
In the Call action, click on
response and associate the response to a new
variable: ResponseContent (of type Dictionary).
After the Call action add Get item from Dictionary action to get the Max ID.
Add Set Workflow Variable action to get the Min ID.
Add Loop Shape (Loop with Condition) to get all the duplicate titles and integrate them to a string.
Create item in Lookup2.
The final Stage should look like this:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup3, then workflow will be started automatically and create item to lookup2.
See the below in workflow History List:

GREAT info, but it may be helpful to note that when replacing a portion of the variable "Countries" with a whitespace character, you may cause the workflow to fail in a few specific cases (certain lookup fields will not accept this and will automatically
cancel). I only found this out when recreating your workflow on a similar, but much more complex list set.
To resolve this issue, I used another utility action (Extract Substring from Index of List) to clear out the whitespace. I configured it as "Copy from
Variable: Countries, starting at
1 (Output to Variable: Countries), which takes care of this issue in those few cases.
Otherwise, WOW! AWESOME JOB! Thanks! :)

Reading values from lookup columns through custom workflow in SharePoint 2013

We are able to read the values of text, number columns through custom workflow (via coding) in SharePoint 2013. However, we are not able to read values from lookup columns. So, request anyone to provide help on this.
Thanks & regards,
Aditya

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to read values from lookup columns through custom workflow in SharePoint 2013.
Since the workflow just doesn't get lookup fields, let's give it something static to work with instead. If we can capture the ID of the lookup field and store that as a static value in our list, the workflow can happily use that to look up our related.
For more information, you can refer to:
SharePoint 2013 Workflows and Lookup Columns

How to create a view based on Lookup Column?

Hi All,
I am working as a SharePoint developer 2013.
When i tried to create a view based on look up column it is not showing lookup column.
How to fix this problem?
Please help me out here.
Thanks & Regards,
Santhoshi

can you elaborate the issue? Do you mean you cannot view the column name in the filter section when creating a new view for the list or the column is not getting displayed in the view created?
--Cheers

Is there a way to Insert Data into a Lookup Column Type on a SharePoint List Destination in SSIS?

Greetings.
I have successfully worked out inserting SQL data (2008 R2) into my 2010 SharePoint list (New, Update, Delete) by creating an SSIS Data Flow Task as outlined here:
http://fsugeiger.blogspot.com/2010/01/synchronise-sql-table-with-sharepoint.html
However, the problem I am running into is inserting data into the SharePoint Columns that are "Lookup" column types. I verified that all of the values I am copying from SQL into the SharePoint lookup column exist in the customn list it is pointing to. It
is important to have this column be a lookup column as it links to another custom list that has many more columns of related information.
I have read and re-read the SharePoint SSIS Adapters 2011.docx from
http://sqlsrvintegrationsrv.codeplex.com/ and the only section that seems to apply is this:
"Looking Up Values in a SharePoint List
If you have to look up a value in a SharePoint list, you can use the Lookup transformation in your data flow, and use the SharePoint List source to load the lookup table. You may have to add a Derived Column transformation or a Script component that splits
data in the lookup column on the ";#" delimiter to separate the ID value from the description.
If you are replacing values in your data with the values that you look up in the list, then loading the changed data back into SharePoint, you only have to include the ID from the lookup column. SharePoint ignores the description if you include it."
I am not sure if the above statement means that I should be passing the assocaited ID's other than the actual data into the SharePoint List destination. If that is the case, that will not really work as the lookup contains hundreds of rows. Not too mention
I have several of these lookup column types pointing to several different lists.
Any guidance in how I can put data into a SharePoint Lookup column type via Data Flow Task would be so much appreaciated.
Thank you.
My errors are:
Error: 0x0 at Data Flow Task, SharePoint List Destination: Error on row ID="1": 0x1 - Unspecified error, such as too many items being updated at once (batch), or an invalid core field value.
Error: 0xC0047062 at Data Flow Task, SharePoint List Destination [1903]: Microsoft.Samples.SqlServer.SSIS.SharePointListAdapters.PipelineProcessException: Errors detected in this component - see SSIS Errors at Microsoft.Samples.SqlServer.SSIS.SharePointListAdapters.SharePointListDestination.ProcessInput(Int32

component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will

I have found a solution to my problem and thought I would share it here in case there are others who are struggling with the above scenario. If you have a better way, I would love to hear about it since my way is a bit tedious.
In a nutshell, in order to have an SSIS package put data from an OLE DB Source into a SharePoint List Destination Lookup Column, you need to pass the ID of the value that is being looked up, not the value that is in the “master” OLE DB source.
Rough explanation, OLE DB Source value for column “Approp” is “4005” --> SQL matches “4005” with the ID in the new lookup table (“4005” = ID “5” as defined in the SharePoint lookup list) --> “5” gets passed into SharePoint List destination lookup
column --> SharePoint displays “4005” and successfully links to the lookup list.
Funny thing (not really), the error(s) outlined in my original post are not related in getting data into a SharePoint Lookup column as I am now successful in getting data into the system but I am still getting the same above error(s). I think it has to do
with the ID column in the SharePoint list destination. What I can’t seem to figure out is why since I am not linking any data to that ID column (at least on new records). I am however linking it on Update and Delete and the errors mentioned above disappear
and things work well.
There are three tasks that need to get done in order to get data from SQL into a SharePoint lookup column assuming you have already set up your SharePoint lookup lists:
1. Create new lookup table(s) in SQL that has the IDs from the SharePoint Lookup list and the values coming from the “master” OLD DB Source. You can see the ID column in SharePoint by toggling it on in a view.
2. Create a SQL command that JOINs all the databases and tables so that the ID is passed and not the value into the SharePoint lookup column
3. Change the “Data access mode” to “SQL Command” instead of the “Table or view” in the OLE DB Source and paste your command into the “SQL command text:” area.
Other helpful info is that you may also need to add additional columns in the new lookup tables in SQL for the scenarios when the data is not unique. You can see this two times in my SQL command example for Units and JobTitles:
SELECT
pps.SSNm,
pps.file_updated,
pps.Employee_id,

Check_Distribution_id = COALESCE( d.ID, 0 ),

pps.action_eff_dt,
Fund_id = COALESCE( f.id, 0 ),
Appropriation_id = COALESCE( ap.id, 0 ),
ActionCode_id = COALESCE( ac.id, 0 ),
SpecNumber_id = COALESCE( jt.ID, 0 ),

When creating a "lookup" column be able to display not only one column from the other list, but additional columns

With the lookup technique, it is possible to select an item from another list and display one column of this item
It is obviously possible to create several lookup columns on the same list and therefore display several columns
There’s a high risk of not selecting the same item and therefore have inconsistent columns
The Requirement therefore consist of being able of displaying several columns of the same item from the other list, based on one unique selection
Example:
In list(x), define lookup column on list (y), column Title (possible today)
Then define a “secondary” lookup column on same list, column Code
The effect would be that when selecting an item from list (X), both Title and Code would show up consistently in 2 different columns of list (Y)
All possible solutions are welcomed

If you are using SharePoint 2010, you can retrieve additional columns when adding a Lookup. If you are using 2007, there is no direct OOTB way, but the following two posts provide potential work-arounds:

How do I strip special characters in SSRS for Lookup columns with Multiple Selections?

Hello all,
Please let me know if I am posting in the wrong location.
I am building reports against my SharePoint List (actually a library). 1 of the columns I want to display in the report is a Lookup column that allows Multiple lookups. Problem is that the SharePoint Web Service call GetListItems returns the values with the item id and ";#" combination. For example:
122;#Apple;#112;#Carrot
but I need the following format:
Apple, Carrot
Following this great article posting - http://www.sharepointu.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx
I was able to drop the first part using the following code
function GetNameFromSP(pFullID as string) as string
dim strRet as string
dim iPos as integer
if pFullID = nothing then return ""
if pFullID = "" then return ""
iPos = Instr(pFullID, ";")
if iPos < 1 then return pFullID
return Mid(pFullID, iPos +2)
end function
But it does not replace the subsquent id references.
Anyone done this before that can provide me tips?
Thanks!

All,
Here is the updated code that resolves my issue (a coworker of mine provided the following code):
Function TrimMultiLookup(ByVal s As String) As String
        Dim combStr As String
        Dim array As String()
        Dim c As Integer
        combStr = String.Empty
        array = Split(s, ";#")
        Console.WriteLine(array.Length)
        For c = 1 To array.Length - 1 Step 2
            combStr += array(c) + ", "
        Next
        Return Left(combStr, combStr.Length - 2)
    End Function

How to change the background color for lookup column options in sharepoint 2007

Hi,
I have a custom List with 10 fields,and in the edit form we want to display only 6 fields,
So I have customized it with sharepoint designer 2007 ,designed a new custom edit form(Insert->ShaerPoint Controls->Custom List Form)
We are using IE8 Browser,and the site has JQuery 1.8 loaded .
The lookup columns is getting rendered as textbox and dropdown arrow image,instead of select html element.
When we click on arrow image,its displaying the values magically,So I am unable to highlight the options with text "ABC" in yellow background color
basically in the input textbox its storing all the lookup values as "ID|value "in choices attribute (I saw this in browser dev tools)
I tried to set the textbox color everytime it loses focus using blur,however its always returning the previous value instead of current selected value.
Is there any way we can achieve this,Any solutions/thoughts
Thanks everyone..

hi i bet you need to amend your jquery script to get onclick values and put it with like append HTML if you want to use Jquery.
Also did you know you could use javascript in calculated column with type number?

Updating a title column in list that is a lookup column to document library in sharepoint designer workflow 2010

Hi I have a requirement to create a list item in Contracts List when a document is uploaded in Contracts Vendor library.
Contracts List will
have columns - Contract Name ( title column), Contract Number, Contract Start date and end date.
Contracts Vendor library will have Contract
Name,Contract NUmber.
User will select the Contract Name from drop down ( this is look up column linked to Contract Name in Contract
List).When user uploads document in Contract Vendor library then item should be created in Contract List with selected Contract Name and
Contract number .
Contracts and Contracts Vendor are related by look up Contract Name. Contract Name is internally a title column in
Contracts List.
Issue1 :
Since Contract number is look up column, while I am creating item the Contract name is not getting updated in
Contracts List. I have to use sharepoint designer workflow to achieve this task. Title colum or Contract Name shows no title.
Issue 2:
One
more issue I am facing is that Contracts List has Section and Division cascaded drop downs when i select values from section and division
dropdowns and save item in Contracts list the values are getting saved in Contract List.
Could anyone suggest me how to handle this ? I am
attaching the screenshots of the list and library structure. TRuly appreciate your help.
Below are screenshots of the list structure

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to update a title column in list that is a lookup column to document library in sharepoint designer workflow 2010.
I try to reproduce the issues as follows:
Create a custom list named Contracts List, add columns: Contract Name ( title column), Contract Number(Number), Contract Start date(Data and Time) and Contract End date (Data and Time).
Create a document library named Contracts Vendor library, add columns: Contract Name(Lookup), Contract NUmber(Lookup).
Create a workflow associated to the Contracts Vendor library.
Add action: Create List Item.
   5. Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
   6. Upload a document, select the Contract Name and Contract NUmber, the workflow will be started automatically.
   7. Open the Contracts List, an item will be added with the Contract Name and Contract Number in the Contracts Vendor library.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Linda Li
