Questions about Content Types
Hi, all. I have questions setting up a modern O365 doc library that will use content types for metadata capture on uploaded files: Is there a way to set the default content type to an empty ...
A nice approach is to create a Custom Content Type in the main site settings.
CreateCustomContentType
Then create your Document Library > Library Settings > Add from existing site content types to find what you created. You will also want to > Change new button order and default content type. Once you understand how it works, you may also delete the default content type, leaving just your Custom Content Type.
DocLibSettings
And in terms of adding values to your drop down, you would change your column type to "Choice" and add desired items, and if you like choose the content default value, as well as decide if you need the column to be required.
Does that help?
