Title field clearing / going blank on updates to Office 2010+ documents

Hi guys. I am having a problem where the Title property on a document (or more specifically any docx or xlsx document) using a certain content type is being made blank when a user edits the document. There are no event receivers and no workflows running
on the document. Here are the steps that recreate it for any document that uses my custom content type:
1) Upload a docx file into a library, populating the title field.
2) Check in.
3) Go to edit the item - in this case force check-out is in place so it checks out the document.
4) Change another property. Hit save.
5) The title field is now blank!
This only does it on my content type (or any that inherit from it), but I've tested it on 3 different servers with varying degrees of updates and it's the same result every time. There is nothing special about the content type (it inherits from Document)
and just has a few extra fields in it. I have not included the contents of the elements file used to define it for brevity but happy to provide if needed. Any ideas are welcome.
Many thanks,
Mike

That seems like it's defeating the purpose.  First, we're on an Exchange server that is on our domain.  Second, I'm trying to eliminate end-user input, this method would increase end-user input.  Also, our Exchange server is 2003, from what
I'm reading here the autodiscover service wasn't added until Exchange 2007.

  • Document info fields in Word won't update when placed in document header-section

    Dear all,
    I have a document library using 3 Content Types with metadata columns and a Word-template.
    The values of these metadata columns should be displayed within the Word-documents created from content type.
    So I've inserted document info fields into the Word-template to display them.
    But unfortunately the placeholders are not updated when opening the document again, after metadata values had been changed e.g. by using the edit-form within the list.
    From what I have seen so far, this only refers to document info fields resident in header or footer sections. 
    But this is where I need to place them.
    Does anybody know this issue and has an idea of how to fix it?
    Could VBA be of use here?
    Best regards,
    Ben

    Hi,
    Based on your description, document info fields in Word won't update when placed in document header-section.
    Per my test, document info fields in Word will update when placed in document header-section.

  • Include all updates for Office 2010 PP during custom network install

    Hello...
    I'm currently doing a custom network install of Office 2010 Professional Plus 32bit edition. The custom install is working fine with the MSP file in the \Updates folder. 
    I would now like to add all of the current updates, hotfixes, and service packs to the \Update folder so that Office 2010 is completely up-to-date when being deployed. I understand that I need to put the MSP files for these updates, hotfixes, and service
    packs in the \Updates folder. 
    A couple questions:
    1 - Is there one place that I can download all of the Office 2010 PP 32bit edition updates, hotfixes, and service packs... Excluding any 64bit edition updates? A repository of some sort?
    2 - I'm assuming that if the hotfixes, and updates are downloaded as .CAB, I first need to extract it, get the .MSP file and put that into the \Updates folder?
    3 - I think Service Packs come down as .exe's??!! If so, do I just put the .exe files in the \Update folder as well or do I need to run something special to extract them like I do with the .CAB files
    I appreciate any help someone can give. If there is a better way to accomplish this, I'm open to all suggestions :) 
    Thanks... Frank

  • How do I update my Office 2010 KMS key?

    I renewed our EES contract with Microsoft and in turn got a new Office 2010 key. Our current clients are saying I have 30 days to activate so I would like to update the KMS key on the server with the new one so they'll pick it up. I haven't found any solid
    instructions anywhere so am posting a new question. How do I update the KMS key for Office 2010? What commands do I need to run?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Thanks for the reply. That got me a little further. I updated my EES agreement this summer and got new keys, so thought maybe that was the issue with Office giving me the "This copy of Microsoft Office is not activated." when launching any Office
    product. I installed and activated the new key now but am still getting the same error in Office. The error code it gives me is 0xc004f074. Looking into that error it looks like a KMS issue. These were activating fine last year and I haven't made any changes
    except just updating the key today, but it was doing this before that.
    Here is what was returned before updating the key:

  • Windows Update of Office 2010 SP2 fails with message Code B56

    I have been trying to update a Windows 7 Ultimate + Office 2010 professional with SP2 as supplied both by Windows Update and dowanloaded SP2 from KB2687455.
    All attempts fail with a Windows Update error code B56.
    I have tried the 'get help with this error' but there is no entry that matches the problem.
    I have tracked the event viewer error which is 0x80070643 - this appears to relate to error occurring with .NET, so I am no furrther on.
    Help Please from anyone.
    Alan Cameron

    Thank you for your input. The email prompted me to come back and share what I have been able to do to solve the problem. No answers as to why it worked but what I did was using a dvd with a copy of Office 2010 Professional Plus I started the setup and when
    it asked what  I wanted to do I answered Repair.
    When this was finished I retried the update to SP2 and it worked.
    It would be nice to know why it was failing but the pressure is off now.

  • Add an auto incremental value to TITLE field.

    Hi, i am currently working on a custom list in SharePoint 2010 and there is a title field. I would like to append an auto incremental variable to "Request" to make it look like:
    Request 1
    Request 2
    Request 3
    and so on...
    As you can see below, i tried to use the calculated value Request+ID, but it didn't work out. So is there anyway to solve this problem?
    <input name="ctl00$m$g_0bb0fcf5_65ea_4af9_ba76_7c0babad1a82$ctl00$ctl05$ctl00$ctl00$ctl00$ctl04$ctl00$ctl00$TextField"
    type="text" value="[Request-]&amp;[ID]"
    maxlength="50" id="ctl00_m_g_0bb0fcf5_65ea_4af9_ba76_7c0babad1a82_ctl00_ctl05_ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ctl04_ctl00_ctl00_TextField"
    title="Title" class="ms-long ms-spellcheck-true" /><br />

    Hi andylow,
    You can also accomplish this without using a workflow but with a custom form on your list. To do this take the following steps:
    Make sure that the title field of your list is not a required value
    When you're in the list, click on the List tab in the ribbon
    There select "Customize Form"
    Your form will now open in InfoPath. In the right hand menu you will see all your data fields.
    Make the Title number field "Read Only". To do this right click the field, select properties, click on the second tab and select Read Only
    In the menu bar, click on Manage Rules
    Now click the Data tab in the menu and select Sumit Options
    In the menu that opens select the option to run rules before submit
    Now there will be a button available in the menu for Submit Options, click on that
    Now you can add rules and actions on the submit action
    Create a new Action rule and call it Initial Save
    As condition for the rule, set the condition that the Title field must be blank
    The first action of the rule will be to Submit the form. When the form is submitted it will be assigned an ID, before that will be blank
    Now add an Action to set a fields value.
    Select the Title field as the field to set
    You can set a hard coded value for the value to set but you can also click the function button, click on that
    Now another window opens where you can add fields, functions etc.
    Now first select the concat function from the function menu
    Then double click the first link in the resulting function and type Request
    Now double click the second link and select the ID field
    Now get rid of the last remaining arguments in the concat function
    Click OK until you're back in InfoPath
    Now set one more action to submit the form again
    Now ad a second rule and call that Edit
    As condition for the rule, set the condition that the Title field must be not blank
    Add the Submit Form action for this rule
    Now you can publish your form with the Quick Publish button. This is a Blue circle with a white upward arrow and a lightning bolt next to the save button in the top menu bar.
    Now when you add a new item and save it, the title will be set to Request&ID. When you edit the form no changes will be made.
    Cheers,

  • Unable to update Office 2010 to 14.0.7128.5000 with Sp2

    Attempting to streamline updates for Office 365 rollout and when trying to update Office 2010 to SP2 14.0.7128.5000. no matter what hotfix I install or even through windows updates, I cannot get the version to read 14.0.7128.5000. I believe the version
    showing is 14.0.7015.1000.

    Hi Brian,
    It looks like 14.0.7015.1000 is the final version of Office 2010 Service Pack 2 (SP2). For the specific version number of 14.0.7128.5000, I can only find it on this KB article -  July
    8, 2014 update for Office 2010 (KB2837581).
    Only one .dll file is affected by this update. I have tested it that it will not change the version number of your Office 2010 Service Pack 2.

    Hello there, Prashanthds96.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting issues with an iPhone not turning on:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Apple TV Picture pixulated or goes blank since iTunes update...

    I have an AppleTV and my iTunes on the SAME router, GIG Ethernet connection, since the update the picture on ALL my movies is pixulated or goes blank.  I see the progress bar on the AppleTV turn white as it loads the stream well ahead of the place where the movie plays.  How can I get the older version of iTunes?
    ANy Ideas what is wrong?
    WARNING DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR ITUNES!!!!!

    Not sure why you are saying it's not the upgrade.  Nothing is changed in my set up and its been working great for a year.  There seems to be a different way iTunes streams to Apple TV and that is the issue.  I no longer see my library when my apple TV  is on Wifi and I did before.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

  • On deleting an item "Name" column of recycle bin is updating with data in one of the custom column instead of title field in SP 2013 Custom list

       On deleting an item, "Name" column of recycle bin is updating with data in one of the custom column instead of title field in SP 2013 Custom list.
    Thanks, Chinnu

    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,

    I have had about 9 iOS devices at work do this. 
    The fix and it will wipe out anything on your iphone is to connect it to your computer and have the latest version on iTunes open.  Hold the Power/Sleep and Home button till it blanks out.  Keep holding the home button untill it says recovery mode on the screen of the computer and do a restore.

    Hold down the option key during start up - you will be given the choice of which partition to use (Macintosh HD or Windows).
