How to disable/bypass/hide edit form that pops up after uploading new file in Document Set (SP 2016)
Hi, I have created a Document Set Content Type named "Contract" with 2 shared columns (Start Date, End Date). I have also created a Document Library named "Contracts" which use this content Type. I have created a new contract "Contract 1" based on the "Contract" Content Type then I have uploaded a word document within the "Contract 1" Document Set, then a Edit form popped up asking for updating the Start Date and End Date properties but these 2 properties have already inherited the values of the document set 's properties and I dont want values of these properties to be updated at the file level (I want them to be always the same as the values of the Document Set 's properties) So I am asking you if there is a way to prevent the user from changing the properties values of the uploaded document, so that they always stay the same as the ones inherited from the document set which it belongs to. Thanks, RegardsSharePoint Document Sets Can't Update Once Used
Correct me if I'm wrong. Once a Site Content Type > Document Set is used, the documents can no longer be updated. What if you need to change the template for one of the files? Can I base a template document on a link to a document that can be updated without having to edit the Document Set? Thank you
DocumentSet Shared Columns 'Under the hood'
I'm trying to understand what actually happens under-the-hood with Shared Columns in Document Sets in SharePoint (Server 2016 & 2019). I am looking for changed items in SharePoint by looking in the change log (SPChangeCollection). I am finding inconsistent behaviors when I change a Shared Column. Sometime the contained documents are shown as updated, sometime not. If I display the shared column in the docset view, it always appears to be updated (almost) instantaneously. I'm wondering what SharePoint is doing under-the-hood, is there a timer job? an sql trigger? and event? Is it possible the action gets 'lost' when SP is under load? etc.
