Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to update title field in recycle bin with other field value of the item.
We can use the ItemDeleting Event Receiver to achieve it.
While item is deleting, replace title field value with other field value using ItemDeleting event receiver, then in the recycle bin, the title value will replace with other field value.
However, there is an issue while restore the item from the recycle bin, the item title would be replaced.
As an workaround, we can create a helper field in the list to store the title field value while deleting, then replace back while restoring using
ItemAdded Event Receiver.
I have made a simple code demo below to achieve this scenario, it works like a charm(the
Test2 field is the helper field, you can hide it in the list), you can refer to it.
public override void ItemDeleting(SPItemEventProperties properties)
properties.ListItem["Test2"]=properties.ListItem["Title"];
properties.ListItem["Title"]=properties.ListItem["Test1"];
properties.ListItem.Update();
base.ItemDeleting(properties);
/// <summary>
/// An item was added.
/// </summary>
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
base.ItemAdded(properties);
properties.ListItem["Title"] = properties.ListItem["Test2"];
properties.ListItem.Update();
Thanks & Regards,
