Document Set Shared Columns not showing any data
Hi all, Just wondering if anyone knew why a custom document set (parent is document set) I created which has Shared Columns enabled for, say Column A and Column B, does not show data for those column...
- Shared columns in the content type settings for the Document Set. When you check the boxes in Shared Columns, those columns are synced to the files that you add to the document set.
Hi Susan, thanks for the reply. The only options I am aware of in the Document Set settings are to check off the columns I want to be "Shared" in the "Shared Column" section of settings. Which settings are you referring to? Thanks.

- OK, I figured out the issue, yikes. It had appears I had deleted the "Documents" content type in the library that was not working. Once I added the documents content type in with the columns I wanted shared, everything is working now. Thanks for the reply!
- That is my understanding and I have those set. I use the same custom document set in two different libraries on my site, one works as expected, but the other does not show the data and they are configured the exact same way. Really strange behavior.
