SharePoint Library Properties-Can't Edit Fields

Copper Contributor

Hello,

 

I can no longer edit columns (Title) in the properties/details pane on a Teams SharePoint site library.

I can still see it on other sites. 

How can I get it to show up again?

@Nat29B This is a default behavior in SharePoint for folders. You cannot update properties/column values for folders like you can with files.

 

Workaround: Use Edit in grid view (quick edit) option to update properties for folder.

I ended up having to use a form designed in Power Apps to view and edit the field in properties.

Thanks! The setting was already set to yes. Maybe it doesn't work because its a Teams site. Either way I found a work around. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

@Nat29B I would like to share one more related functionality in SharePoint > Maybe edit in grid view option made hidden using JSON command bar formatting by someone in your team (or site owners).

 

You can check the JSON applied in view formatting and correct it as per your requirements. Check documentation: Command bar customization syntax reference
