Auto tag a column with foldername
Hello. I have a folder and when i create a new file I want the files project Id column to be auto filled with the folders name. How can I do this ? Br 2mmy
Hi, I'm not sure how easily achievable this is with how sharepoint interperates folders. You could use create a workflow to create the folder name as a variable, then upate a hidden 'foldername' column that you could use in a lookup column but you would still have to choose from a list of folder names. Have you considered using document sets instead? You can apply metadata to these, plus all documents are visibly part of the same 'folder' much more so than standard folders :) Hope this helps, Anthony
ok. Think I'll try to make a document set and metadata. Have made the document set, but not sure how to add the metadata. Any suggestion on good recources on that ?
Thanks.
