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()

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.
Developer Details:
tNG_fields.getFakeRecordset:
SQL error: Error creating temporary table:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'desc TEXT, job_id TEXT)' at line 1

I'm using the "Text" syntax for the field "desc" (description)
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to define the table row in a different way?

Hi,
I am working on an image gallery using the tutorials.
I used the sql
SELECT *,
rand() as random_number
FROM image_img
ORDER BY random_number DESC LIMIT 1
on my default.php page but on preview i get the message
You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'LIMIT 0, 10' at line 1
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.
Thanks

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.

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!
Tad

Hi 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

Remove descriptions from all photos

Hello
I've been importing photographs into iPhoto from several different people. They have all used different methods of describing the photos (in the 'description' field). Is there a way to select all the photos (about 3,000) and remove the description from all of them in one go?
Thanks

Remove custom field instead of default text field

I need migrate to SharePint 2013 from 2007.
In SharePoint 2007 List include a custom field.
Dont use the custom field again,
I want remove custom field instead of default text field (remain metadata).
How to do it ?
Thanks

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to migrate SharePoint from 2007 to 2013 with managed metadata column. Is it right?
If you need to migrate managed metadata columns, you also need to migrate the Managed Metadata Service application. however, when you use this method, only global terms are available but the local terms are not available.
So, if you used the local terms for the managed metadata column, I suggest you use a third party tool or manually re-create the column in the destination list.
There are some articles about migrating managed columns, please take a look at:

Copy keywords into description-field

Hello,
I have to work on many pictures so i don't want to do every step for every picture. I have no experience with scription so i ask you.
I'm searching for a script (or somthing else) that copies the keywords of one file into the description-field of the same file automaticly.
Yours Robin from Germany

I have just done a quick test and this seems to work. Copies the keywords to the description field. Make sure that you do a test first! NB:Folder.userData Adobe/XMP/Metadata Templates, folder must exist.

Removing prewritten fields in new calendar events

I mainly want to remove the ''location'' field in my calendar but it seems to be locked somehow. I need a way
to remove or hide it. From what i have found all the web and designer allows me to do is change its description....

Just soloved the problem. All i had to do was simply not remove the fields entierly but from the view that is used when a new event is to be created. This is done in SPD. Cheers.

Kindly give me soulation ASAP.
Thanks and Regard's.
Vikash

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.

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.
