Unable to edit Document Set metadata.

I have a Library with Document Sets enabled.  The metadata for the documents and the DS are defined and the columns visible (set to optional) from within each content type under library settings.  However, when I select a DS and then click Edit
Properties, I can only change the DS Name and the Content Type (DS or Folder).  None of the other metadata from the DS content type is visible.  The extra metadata shows when I create a new DS item, but there is no way to change it after the fact.
Anyone have any ideas?

It is possible to make it do that but i can't imagine how it could happen without sigificant deliberate effort.
It is possible to modify the columns on a content type so that they do not appear on specific views (view,new,edit) but it's a fairly obscure trick and you need PowerShell to do it. If this has happened then you could use PowerShell to correct the settings
but i dislike treating the symptoms of a problem unless you know the cause.
There are some columns that are set by default to only appear on set views but that would normally affect the items as well as the document sets.
For a random thought you could look at the effectts of seting the columns to be shared throught the document set, it's possible that i've forgotten a bit of default behaviour and that the columns are being hidden on purpose. Other than that i'm out of ideas
i'm afraid. Hopefully someone else may be able to contribute.

  • Unable to edit documents in InDesign CS4

    Hello,
    A work colleague has recently changed their laptop and installed CS4 - since the getting new computer he has been unable to edit documents (which are fine on my machine). He can select objects and reposition on the screen, but can't edit/delete. He can place the cursor and type new text, but can't edit existing text and is unable to move the cursor with the cursor keys.
    The objects are not on the master page or locked.
    Our Corporate IT has recently revoked all admin access to our own machines - could this affect InDesign? (No-one else seems to be effected)
    We have tried uninstalling/reinstalling and deleting the prefs, but to to avail.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi Peter,
    Thanks for the reply.
    My colleague had CS4 installed on his previous machine and had been using it without problem for over a year - its only since receiving his new laptop that the issues have started.
    Unfortunately, I don't think setting up a new user account is really an option (it requires assistance from our parent company's IT dept.).
    Yes, we did follow the instructions in the link when replacing the prefs files.

  • Unable to edit document using "Edit with Word" option

    Hi All,
    i am having an issue with Office web apps. i am using SharePoint 2013 and Office web apps 2013. all the configurations have been done successfully. but i have a different kind of issue.
    i am able to open documents in browser
    i am able to edit document using " edit with word/excel web" option
    but i am unable to edit document using "edit with word/excel" option
    i have Office 2010 installed on my local machine.
    do we need to have MS office of 2013 version? or is there anything missing from configuration part.
    Please help me.
    Thank You,
    Bhaskar.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you could not use the "edit with word/excel" option.
    I had tested the issue with the Office 2010, the option worked well.
    You don’t need to install the Office 2013 to use this option.
    What did you mean “but i am unable to edit document using "edit with word/excel" option
    Did you mean the option gray out? Did the issue occur in other browsers?
    You can use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
    Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
    You can also add the site into Trusted sites.
    Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Sites->add the site into the Websites, then check whether it works.
    What's more, you can also use other browsers to check whether it works, such as Firefox, Chrome.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,

  • Unable to edit documents after AVG installation

    I have a dual drive Toshiba laptop, which has been recntly updated from Vista to Windows 7. Windows 7 has taken up most of my C drive, so I have had to put programs onto the other data E drive. The other day I bought AVG ant-virus 2011 and put it onto my computer (data e drive). Since then, even after taking avg off, I am unable to edit documents on office Word or OpenOffice. it seems to be doing it to my external drive (that I have added) as well as now. Its strange since this only started as soon as i used AVG. Any suggestions what the problem could be? How it can be resolved.
    I really need some help, as my computer seems to be slowly dying! Tried to get in contact with AVG but they seem just to be ignoring the problem at the moment.
    Thanks for any help,

    Hi buddy,
    > Its strange since this only started as soon as i used AVG.
    In this case I would contact AVG directly if they can say something about this or if its a known issue. I never heard about this but AVG should know what to do now.
    I dont know what notebook you have but Im pretty sure its a software issue and it seems to be related to AVG

  • Unable to edit Document in WEB UI, when the status is Closed.

    Hi,
    I am working on Service Request Transaction in WEB UI. When the status of the document is set to closed, I am unable to edit the fields. Could you please help me why the system is behaving in this way? Any configuration is involved in this?
    Thanks,

  • Unable to edit document template in SharePoint 2013

    We have uploaded a set of templates that users can select from the drop down list in the Document field in the Document Library.  We now need to edit one of these document templates.
    We follow the procedure and make the edits which changes the template but when we then select that template from the drop down list, the edits have not been actioned.
    Can anyone please assist?

    Hi,
    As I understand, The modification was not saved back to the template.
    How do you edit the document template? 
    Check if the URL of the template is right. You can go to the site setting->site content type->click the content type you want to edit->advanced setting->edit the template->open the template, and click file->to check if the URL under the template is right.
    As a workaround, when you edit the template you can save the template in the local computer, and you can upload the template you have saved in the advanced setting for the content type.
    The article below is about how to create Document Templates for Document Libraries in SharePoint 2010, it also can work in SharePoint 2013.

  • User unable to edit document in protected mode until 'enable all features' is selected everytime.

    In light of the most recent vulnerabilities identified in version 10.1.1 and the instructions in -  http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-04.html
    to use protected mode, I have informed my customers how that should be performed. However, I have at least one user that is unable to edit their document until they select the ' enable all features' function. Even after they do that, and the specific file is listed in the in the security (enhanced) > priviledged locations list, the user is required to select 'enable all features' every time for this file.
    Can someone tell me a solution?

  • Unable to edit document from SharePoint 2007 using Office 2013 and IE 11

    I am getting the following error when I try to edit a document from SharePoint 2007: "Edit document
    requires a Windows Sharepoint services-compatible application and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater". I am using Windows 7 with Office 2013 and Internet Explorer 11. Troubleshooting steps that I've tried so far (that haven't worked) are as follows:
    1) repaired Office; 2) switched from 64 bit version of IE to 32 bit version; 3) moved the owssupp.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\ to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15; 4) tried removing old versions of Office (but
    I still need to use Office Communicator 2007 r2 and couldn't figure out how to get rid of the Office14 files from Program Files); and 5) running SharePoint in IE compatibility mode. Please advise...thanks!

    Hi,
    It seems you installed mixed version Office2007/2010/2013 on your client machine?
    I would suggest you remove all Office 2007 and 2010 version, and reinstall Office 2013(include Office Tools->Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support component) on your machine, and make sure "Open SharePointDocuments class" add-on is enabled
    from IE11, then check if it could fix the issue.
    If above works, please test again after installing the Office Communicator 2007 r2 on your machine.

  • Torch 9800 ''email set up icon not responding'' ... unable to edit or set up email accounts.

    Torch 9800, Network provider, O2 UK.
    Although my BlackBerry service with O2 is connected and working as normal, I am totally without email on my Torch 9800. I have owned the Torch 9800 since March. All has been well until last week when I changed the password on one of the 3 email accounts I had set up on my device.  This password change left one of the accounts unable to send or receive mail, and is also what lead me to discover that I could not enter email set up on my device or via my network providers website ( www.o2email.co.uk ) .
    I have spent hours on the phone with O2 discussing this issue. The usual checks and procedures have been carried out, battery pulls, checking settings etc and the service books have been deleted and resent several times. These actions have not resolved the problem but instead led to the loss from my device of the other 2 email accounts which were working correctly but have now disappeared into thin air. Having tried all possible solutions with O2 I now come here looking for an answer.
    When I visit my Network Providers BlackBerry mail service trying to create an account using my pin etc,  I am without fail getting a pop up box containing  the error message ''Your account is not accessible via HTML browser. Please use your devive to access BlackBerry Internet Service''  !?  The result is the same whether I log in from my device over 3G or Wireless, or from a PC (have tried several browsers) .
    On my device, when I click on the Email Accounts icon from the setup menu nothing happens, no response at all. I have tried many times and there is just no way to set up or edit mail accounts. I am without mail on my device and growing increasingly short of patience.
    I am now hoping somebody here can offer me some advice on how to resolve this issue. What use is a BlackBerry without email capabilities ? I see from researching email set up problems on the Torch 9800 that I am not alone here so if somebody at BlackBerry is listening ? If this is a Torch 9800 issue then I am sure you will be doing all you can to resolve this but in the meantime PLEASE help by offering a solution to the issues I have mentioned.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forums, bs342!
    Well, since you searched the forums, you are undoubtedly aware that the problem you report is unfortunately a common one these days.  The good news is that RIM is definitely aware of and working on the problem.
    First, let's try something on your computer.  What browser are you using?  Your problem there might just be as simple as clearing cache in your browser, then closing and reopening the browser to try the website again.
    If that doesn't work, try this:
    From your device's browser, go to mobile.blackberry.com. Select your country of choice, then go to Communicate>Email. Scroll down to Other Personal Email and click on Integrate Now, then Launch Email Setup. You should be able to integrate your e-mail accounts that way until RIM has fixed this issue.
    Please let us know how it goes!

    Is the cookie disabled in the browser? If yes, please enable it.
    Did you implement security fix in the web.config, such as <httpCookies requireSSL="true" httpOnlyCookies="true" />? If yes, please set it to false in web.config.
    Did you configure Alternate Access Mapping for SharePoint with a URL containing a “_” character? If yes, please remove the “­_” from the URL.

  • How to create a people picker type metadata in a document set?

    
    Hi folks,
    I want to create a people picker type metadata in a document
    set (it has some content types and it resides inside a library).
    So please help me knowing steps for creating it. 
    Our web application is using classic based authentication therefore I want to retrieve the names and groups in people picker column from Active Directory.
    Also, the document set library for which I want to create people picker metadata did not had document set before and documents where saved directly in content types as well as the metadata that now we are making as people picker was before of type Single line
    of text. 
    So, whether after creating it of type people picker, at the time of moving documents into document set, it will create problem? If yes,than of of what kind and how can it be resolved?
    Replies will be greatly appreciated.
    -Ishita

    Hi,
    From your description, I know you want to add a people picker column in a document set, then add this document set into a document library.
    If you want to add a people picker column in a document set you should create a document set first. You can know how to create and configure a document set by referring to this article: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-and-configure-a-new-Document-Set-content-type-9db6d6dc-c23a-4dcd-a359-3e4bbbc47fc1.
    After creating a document set, you can follow these steps below to add a people picker column in a document set: click Site Actions -> Site Settings -> under  Galleries section, Site content types -> find the content you want to add people
    picker column -> under Columns section, Add from new site column -> Name and Type, enter your column name and choice Person or Group -> OK.
    If you move documents into document set, it will keep the current properties. You can edit properties to change the document to another content type which is  contained in the document set.
    In my case, DocA is the content type of the document library, Document and DocB are content types of the document set.
    If I have mis-understand, please let me know.

  • Question about metadata filtering and document sets

    Hello,
    I have a question about the metadata filtering when using document sets.
    When i use the metadata filter for example for "Installatie: P00001" it shows.
    But i wan't to show only the document set and not all the documents. Is this possible OOTB?

    Hi striker,
    You can add the "Content Type" in Hierarchy Fields for your list, then click the "Document Set" to filter the document set type item, then you can input the "P00001" in Installatle key filter, click apply, then it should show only document set
