Updating description field

Podcasts have a description field... is there anyway to update or add descriptions? i've tried "get info" but i don't see "description" as an updateable option?

Only the podcast creator can update most "tags" shown in podcast subscriptions.

Update PO Header Description field for Blanket Purchase Agreement

Hi all,
I am trying to update description field for Blanket Purchase Agreement using Import price catalog.
Open interface runs successfully and not getting any errors but, the description field is not getting updated.
Is it possible to update BPA using Import Price Catlaog. If not is there any API for this?
Thank you,
Prashanth

If you are having trouble with API, you can update DFF directly. Typically, it is a little/no risk update.
Just make sure that the new DFF value satisfies the value set attached to the DFF / DFF context.

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.

Master Detail Form - How 2 update a field in the Detail form using a query?

Hello,
I have a master detail form with, each master record having a fixed(6) number of detail records. One of the fields in the detail record is the PART_DESCRIPTION field. I am trying to update this field by querying Table_X. TABLE_X is in the format of (desciption id, description). Description id runs from 1 to 6.
When the form displays, the PART_DESCRIPTION field for the 6 detail records needs to be automatically populated with the six values of description stored in Table_X. How can this be done?
Tried using session storage objects, but made no headway.
Would greatly appreciate pointers on how to go about doing this.
Thanks.
Dev

If you are on a Portal Version lesser than 3.0.9.8.3, then please try the following to populate
the PART_DESCRIPTION field.
Steps:-
1> Edit the form and go to the Additional PL/SQl section and put the following code in the
"...after displaying the page area" :-
declare
type t_vc_arr is table of varchar2(4000) index by binary_integer;
l_arr_desc t_vc_arr;
l_form_name varchar2(200);
l_form_state varchar2(500);
begin
l_form_name := p_session.get_module().get_name();
l_form_state := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
p_block_name => 'MASTER_BLOCK',
p_attribute_name => '_FORM_STATE'
if l_form_state = 'QUERY_AND_SAVE' then
select description
bulk collect into l_arr_desc
from <schema>.table_x;
htp.p('
<script>
var descArr = new Array();
var Fidx = 1;
var formObj = document.WWVM'||p_session.get_id()||';
var fieldName = "'||l_form_name||'.DETAIL_BLOCK.PART_DESCRIPTION.0";
for i in 1..l_arr_desc.count loop
htp.p('descArr['||to_char(i-1)||']="'||l_arr_desc(i)||'";');
end loop;
htp.p('
for (var i=0; i < formObj.length; i++){
if (formObj.elements.name == fieldName+Fidx){
formObj.elements[i].value = descArr[Fidx-1];
++Fidx;
htp.p('</script>');
end if;
end;

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.

Workflow Action: Trouble adding a new line in "Description" field.

Hi folks. I'm really having a difficult time with this one and it seems so simple...
I am struggling with how to get a field update action to enter a line break in a note field. I've tried "\n", "\n\r", "chr(13)", "chr(10)", "<br>" and so on.... it just puts the text of what I use into the Description.
Here's the simplified workflow action...
[<NextStep>] + "\ \n" + PRE('<Description>')
What it's supposed to do.. is every time someone updates the field [<NextStep>], I want to replace the contents of the description field with the new value for nextstep (plus a new line) and then followed by everything that was in the description field previously. This way I have a running log in the description field.
Idealy it should put:
Today() + ": " + [<NextStep>] + <line break> + PRE('<Description>')
but when I add the Today() it ignores everything that follows. I'm not as worried about that as I am about the inablity to put in the line beak. Please help!!!
Thanks!
Edited by: ThinkGadget on May 11, 2009 9:13 AM because the forum interpreted the "\\n"
Edited by: ThinkGadget on May 11, 2009 9:15 AM (I put a space between the two back slashes so that the forum doesn't interpret it as a new line)

I had used the "\\n" in my expressions to add a new line in the Description field. Only issue is also add a \ to the end of line but that was acceptable in my case. We are on OOD R16.

The "i" button for Videos in Description field

Is there a way to get the "i" button in the description field (to show description in a separate pop up window) to show up for videos (the video icon under in Source area)?
They show up in the iTunes video store and for downloaded Podcasts (under the Podcast icon in Source area not Library), but do not for up for dowloaded Videos (or even for dowloaded podcasts when looking at them through library (main library in Source). The descriptions of some of the TV Shows I have bought through iTunes are very long sometimes and have almost found it easier to just find the show again on the iTunes store and click on the "i" there instead of trying to spread the description column at wide enough to be able to see enough to make sense of what it is saying. But that still should not have to be done, so I am wondering if I am missing a preference setting somewhere or if it can be done through terminal or editing the iTunes preference file. I have sent it off as a suggestion, but I wanted to see if there was a quick solution that I am just over looking.
thanks

Well all I can say is that after the 10.6 update, I too lost my Get and Subscribe buttons once again. I downloaded and ran the install procedure and used the Repair option within it and that solved the issue. I only had to run it once though.
If you've done this twice without the problem being fixed, I don't know what else to suggest.
Sorry.

How can I clear the description field of ALL my bookmarks at once?

Hello,
I would like to clear the description field of all my bookmarks. To do this manually would be horrible. Is there some tool that can do it? Or is there some trick to edit the sqlite file?
Also I'd be interested how I can stop Firefox from filling the description field when adding a new bookmark.
Thank you in advance
using Firefox 3.6.13 on Windows XP SP3

Auto-populate Computer Description Fields in AD Console

Hi guys,
I need some help with populating computer descriptions in AD. I have searched this on google numerous times and everytime I find a script there are loads of comments with "changes" saying it doesn't work.
What I am looking for in the description field is the last logged in user and the date and time of when they logged in. Now as we don't have multiple tenant machines this only needs updated every few days.
I want a solution really to find machines that aren't used, as the IT asset register is severely out dated! Plus this is always a handy feature to have for future reference.
If anyone knows of a script online somewhere or has one they use successfully I would greatly appreciate it and also some advice on how to deploy it (I know it gets added in to GPO but not 100% sure how).
Thanks

To track user logon / logoff, you can simply refer to what I shared here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/20422.record-logon-logoff-activities-on-domain-servers-and-workstations-using-group-policy.aspx
If you want to populate the collected information and put it in the Description field, you can simply use a Powershell script that reads the CSV files and set the value using
Set-ADComputer cmdlet: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee617263.aspx
To identify obsolete computers, you can refer to lastlogontimestamp
attribute value: http://blog.mattvogt.net/2011/10/06/powershell-last-logon-timestamp-for-single-ho/

Powershell script to update a field value (recursively) in sharepoint form a .CSV file and not changing the updated by value

need to run through a list of old to new data (.csv) file and change them in a sharepoint list - can not make it work
here is my base attempt.
$web = Get-SPWeb site url
$list = $web.lists["List Name"]
$item = $list.items.getitembyid(select from the items.csv old)
$modifiedBy = $item["Editor"]
#Editor is the internal name of the Modified By column
$item["old"] = "new from the .csv file parsed by power sehll
$ite.Syste,Update($false);
$web.Dispose()

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update SharePoint field value from a CSV file recursively.
We can import CSV file using the Import-CSV –path command, then update the field value in the foreach loop.
Here is a code snippet for your reference:
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$csvVariable= Import-CSV -path "http://sp2010.contoso.com/finance/"
# Destination site collection
$WebURL = "http://sp2010.contoso.com/sites/Utility/"
# Destination list name
$listName = "Inventory"
#Get the SPWeb object and save it to a variable
$web = Get-SPWeb -identity $WebURL
#Get the SPList object to retrieve the list
$list = $web.Lists[$listName]
#Get all items in this list and save them to a variable
$items = $list.items
#loop through csv file
foreach($row in $csvVariable)
#loop through SharePoint list
foreach($item in $items)
$item["ID #"]=$row."ID #"
$item.Update()
$web.Dispose()
Here are some detailed articles for your reference:

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()
Remove-PSSnapIn Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell

Try putting the character " in the description field (under edit/preferences/info)

Choose edit/preferences and type something in the description field under the info tab. Make sure to include the character ". Then preview the project or publish it and watch it.
I used Captivate 4 and Windows Vista when I made the discovery. It took me a while to figure out that this was the cause of my problems. Hopefully this is not an issue in Captivate 5. After what I heard the through away the old source code. Good thinking! Soon my PC will get an update from 4 to 5.

Ahhh yes. My bad. Indeed I do see the odd behavior! It's as if one has clicked the Info button. But there are other elements all messed up too!
Very bizarre!

E-Recruitmet - Description field from Infotype 5121

Hi All
I am working on e-recruitment and was wondering where the description fields related to Infotype 5121 are stored.
The data that we enter in Posting Information page from the frontend(BSP) is getting updated in 5121, but the texts(description) is not stored in this inofotype.
Any ideas would be helpful.
thanks
swaroop

Hello,
As an addition to Roman's answer, you can also use a generic method which can work for every IT of e-recruting:
Use method cl_hrrcf_t77rcf_docid=>read_record to get the structure t77rcf_docid.
Then use the method cl_hrrcf_hrkwf_storage=>read_infty_text with t77rcf_docid-docid. You can get the parameter version from the number in the field of your infotype.
Hope it helps

Populating descriptive field with itresource name?

Hi everyone,
After my AD account is provisioned i need to update request description with resource name. but when i map the descriptive field it populateds descriptive field with key but not the resource name. How can we populate descriptive field with resource name?
Thanks,
doki

ASAIK, you can not see the resource name in map descriptive field. But you can do a workaround like, create a hidden field(UD_ADCS_RESNAME) in AD Process Form and use pre-populate adapter to populate this field with your resource name.
Now in Map Descriptive Field of AD Provisioning, select the field UD_ADCS_RESNAME under the Process Data. You will be done.

Pasring multiple fields into the Description field with a carriage return between each in Orchestrator

I have a Service Request that is entered in through the Self Service Portal. This service request has 4 different prompts in the Request Offering.
This will actually eventually become a Change Management Request.
What I would like to do, is grab the 4 User Inputs, and place them in the Description field of the Change Management Request. I can get them to show up in the Description, however, I would like to be able to add a carriage return between each User
Input (along with a description of what's being put in). How can I do that?
Right now, it looks like this Username: Name Manager: Manager
Start Date: Start Date Needs Mail?: Y or N
I want it to look like this:
Username: Name
Manager: Manager
Start Date: Start Date
Needs Mail?: Y or N

Thank you. This is what I was looking for.
For those figuring out what to do:
Add the Run .Net Script command to your Runbook.
Under Details, selec PowerShell for the Type, and in the Script $Desc = "Username:
Username field from the Published Data" + "`n" + "Manager: Manager field from the Published Data" + "`n" + "Start Date:
Start Date field from the Published Data" + "`n" + "Needs Mail:
Needs Mail field from the Published Data"
($Desc is just the variable I used, and can be whatever you want)
Under Published Data, Add the field you want to output and make the Variable name what you used above without the $
Then do Update Object and Update the Description with the published data from your PowerShell Command.
I do this, and my data is passed successfully and it shows up in my notifications, however the carriage returns are not there. It looks the same as it did before I added the powershell right before Update Object.
? Anybody else not getting this to work ?
