Sharepoint metadata and Word
I have a sharepoint library with several columns for metadata. These are NOT mandatory fields. BUT when i edit the document Word seems to think they are mandatory. Anyone seen this?
jcgonzalezmartin first screenshot from word - second from sharepoint
Steps to reproduce
1. add custom SP property to document
2. fill in anything in field
3. remove "anything" from field
4. observe field error message
A temp fix is to go to properties in word and add and remove text from the field until the red warning box goes away.
