FOLDER CONTENT TYPE
Hi,
I have created a folder content type that has some columns that I want our users to fill in when they create a new folder.
However, after adding the folder content type to the document library, when I select the new option I cannot see the new folder content type i have just created.
Kindly help.
Can you try below and see if it works
1. Navigate to your SharePoint site with admin account > click the gear icon > site settings
2. Click Content type publishing > click the Url in hubs section
3. Click create > choose the Folder Content Types for “Select parent content type from” and Folder for “Parent Content Type” > OK.
4. Click on the newly created folder content type > Manage publishing for this content type > choose publish > OK
5. Navigate to the library which need to custom the document template > click the gear icon > library settings
(If the library hasn’t been enabled “Allow management of content types”, click advanced settings > choose Allow management of content types and click OK)
6. In Content types section, click Add from existing site content type > add the folder content type > OK.
7. Back to the library with new experience, click New > check if the content type appears in the list.
