Document Set Content Type in New Menu
I know you can create a Document Set and drag it into another Document Set. But is there a way to allow a Document Set as a Content Type of Document Set? It will be more intuitive for end users to have a consistent new menu experience at each layer (we only want to have two maximum).
Inherited column from parent missing
I've posted here as well, I'm not sure what the difference is between MS techcomm and MS Answers. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/content-type-inherited-column-missing/3669c2e1-3b95-4509-bbb9-2a4ceba8df44 The issue is, I have content types defined in the content type gallery, they are published and I can use them in sites. There is a hierarchy to these types, Approx 20 types inherit from 'Engineering Document' . There is a number field on this type ('Engineering Document') which on two sites so far, is not being inherited by the children. In the screenshot below, the left hand site is a view of a content type at the site level. On the right side is the same content type from the CT gallery. On the right hand side there is a field 'WFM Number' , but this is missing from the left. I don't understand how or why this is happening, or even beginning to diagnose. Even if I didn't care about the 'why' - how would I go about fixing it? Thanks for any help you can provide.
Set page template for a custom content type based on "Site Pages"
Hi all, I am creating a custom content type that is based on Site Pages. It provides the selection of the page template: However, using a custom page template here does not work. Depending on the permutation of the link, different things happen. /_layouts/15/SitePages/Templates/Wiki-Page.aspx -> Errors out /sites/team/SitePages/Templates/Wiki-Page.aspx -> Just opens the template as a page, not a new page based on the template. This is very unsatisfactory. It would be a bit better if the default view of a template that is opened in the second option would at least have a button that says something like "Create page based on template". But it does not. From there, I can only edit the template. The only way to use the template is Home -> New -> Page. Very annoying. How can I make this content type feature work so that the template is used correctly to create a new page?Create Standard Views For New Document Libraries
We are putting together a Project Directory Site which will contain a document library for each new project that gets created. I've added two columns to the Document Content Type so that these are included with each new library. Is there any way to change the default 'All Items' view to include these columns without having to manually add them via show/hide columns? Additionally, can we create a custom view (Such as group by 'Document Type') that would be included in every new document library? The idea is that we would have a standard set of documents be added to each library, and we don't want to make users have to recreate these views for every new library that gets created. Much appreciated!
Doc Libraries - New Button - Different Content Types in Sub-Folders
Greetings, I cannot find any information online regarding an issue I trying to solve. We have a modern document library, with Content Types assigned to Templates. The document library also has sub-folders. The issue is that within the root/parent level of the Document library, the new button Content Template listing, order & choices is correct. However, when you go into a sub-folder, it is different, and I cannot figure out how to make all sub-folders provide the same 'New Button' options as the parent/root level. Attached are (2) screenshots showing the difference. Much appreciated! --- Child / Incorrect version --- RootPossible to migrate SP2013 Site Content Type to SharePoint Online's Content Services/Content Type?
We have a SharePoint 2013 Site Collection with approximately 200 subsites that allow inherit several content types from the parent. Since we're flattening the hierarchy during the migration to SharePoint Online, we'd like to move the content types to live in the central 'content services' content type area. Does anyone know if this possible to do during a migration or will we need to rebuild those content types and then map the subsites to the new location? Thank you in advance for any guidance.Push content types from Content Type Gallery to a hub
Previously I have been using the old Content Type Syndication Hub to distribute custom content types to all my sites. However, I was frustrated by how long it took to publish changes and have been looking to move to SharePoint new modern Content Type Gallery feature (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-sharepoint-blog/modernizing-sharepoint-managed-metadata-services-mms/ba-p/1277450 and https://www.intelogy.co.uk/blog/diving-into-sharepoint-onlines-revamped-term-store-and-content-type-gallery/. On Microsoft's site, they specifically say you can push content types from the Gallery to hub sites for distribution to associated sites, and they even show this feature in a video: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/contentunderstanding/push-content-type-to-hub However, on my view, I have no option to push content types to a hub. (This is a brand new 'test' content type so there shouldn't be a problem with it being from a legacy content type hub, and I do have a proper modern hub site and associated sites). Is there some hidden setting I need to turn on to enable this feature? EDIT: Or perhaps this feature isn't necessary, since types in the Content Type Gallery automatically push to all sites in my tenant? (But if so, why does Microsoft document the feature...?)Content Type issue: Hidden columns not available when CT applied to List
I have a Content Type defined in our tenant's Content Type Hub. This CT is based on the "Event" CT which some fields added to support it's use for a Leave Request app I'm building. There are some columns that I want to only be available/editable via PowerApps and Flow, so I made them "Hidden" in the CT. I created it yesterday afternoon, so I know it's fully syndicated by now. In one of our Site Collections, I can view the Site Content Types and it shows up there with all of the columns that are shown in the Content Type Hub. Great! Next, I create a new ("modern") List and add that content type to it. This is where the weirdness starts. In the List Settings, I don't see any of the Hidden columns. From the Settings, if I click the CT name, no hidden columns. If I then click the Parent CT (so, the copy that exists at the site collection level), there are the hidden columns. See this video for a more detailed description. Thinking this was some kind of syndication issue, I went to the Content Type Hub and created a List there and added the CT to it - the same thing happens! Further thinking this may be a "modern vs classic" issue, I created a Custom List "App" and applied the CT to it - same thing. This is very frustrating. As our goal is to create a "standard" Leave Request/Approval process that can be rolled out to various departments and groups having a standard and consistent Content Type is a must. I suppose another approach is to create a site script that creates the list when/where we need it, but if we need to change something in that list, without the syndication function, we'd need to make that change in each site/list individually.
