Word custom Document Property doesn't work after saving document in SP library
I have created a Word document and have created some custom Document Properties. It all works very well. I have the fields placed within my document and when I alter them I see the value change refle...
Am I the only person to experience this?
Hi,
Go to File | Options | Trust Center and click Trust Center Settings... Select the Privacy Options tab and make sure that the box for "Remove personal information from file properties on save" is not checked.
Let me know if that worked for you.
This didn't work as the Trust centre settings are managed by admin, and on the admin side, there is no such setting (that I can find). Document Properties shouldn't be considered Personal Information any way as it's quite literally the documents information
I may have found the why and possibly how to fix.
My issue specifically was the Document Property Quick Part was loading partial values from a SharePoint List in the document, however the SharePoint Properties window showed all options.I went into the Developer menu and looked at my Quick Parts that were having the issue - the list of options was either missing or only had a portion of the items. Weird.
So, I went into the template used for the content type - and behold, the Quick Parts within the template were missing choices just as my document was. The difference here is that the SharePoint Properties window is taking quite a long time to load. As I write this comment it is still showing "Loading" - I suspect that my list has a lot of data, and it may have only partially loaded when I had created the template file.
So, to bring the point back around, I suspect that Lookup fields with many options (or all Lookup fields) do not have a "live" link but only update in the content type template upon creation.
