Hi,
I have been tasked with tidying up some documents on our site and I have come across some documents that have symbols in a properties field. 'Activity' in my case.
As you can see below for some reason the activity is showing as ;#Asset Management;#. However the options available for activity shows just Asset Management. Around 190 documents are showing like this but most are fine...
If I check out the document, remove activity, add it back in and check in document it then shows correctly. I would just like to know why its happened if possible.
Does anyone know what causes this? Maybe they have been imported in some way?
Thanks
Hi @TylerDavis
",#" is/was an internal separator used in some field types in the client-side or server-side object models.
For example was a value in a taxonomy column internally encoded as "<taxlistid>;#<Term Name>|<Term Guid;", so i.e. "12;#MyTerm|b2614abc-17a4-4b31-f17e16b0a;"
The syntax ";#CHOICE1;#CHOICE2;#" was used to store values for a "multi selection choice" column.
I think you changed the column from a "multi selection choice" column back to a "single selection choice" column and had this wierd side effect.
I also had these effects after i just switched a multi choice column back to a single choice column
Best Regards,
