Duplicate field within hidden system content type
Eva Vogel This is SP 2013 so no modern sites/pages.
Right now I don't think the fact that the site column found its way into the system CT but rather that SP is convinced there is a duplicate field while we cannot find any, either by name or ID.
BTW, the field name in question is "CatalogNumber".
Hello Yaron_Ben_Shalom, di you also check the managed metadata? In searching for the key words "SharePoint CatalogNumber" the results tend to look into crawled metadata and their links to site columns. Maybe these links are causing this? I am not so familiar with the managed metadata stuff. A very good source on that topic is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjvb5VV4lVE , a video about advanced Search, KQL from Joelle Jobson and Laura Rogers (iwmentor.com), maybe that helps. Greets, Eva.
Eva Vogel I don't see any connection between Managed metadata and the issue we have here, to be honest.
We may try to split the feature so the updates we require (that have nothing to do with the presumably duplicate site column) are made independently.
