My Content Type instances have duplicate Document IDs (dlcdocid).
Hi, I have a Documents library with Content Types enabled, and with the Document ID service enabled. However new documents do not have a unique ID, but all get assigned the same ID as the content type template. The setup I enabled Document ID service via the Site Collection Features: https://<domain>.sharepoint.com/sites/<sitename>/_layouts/15/ManageFeatures.aspx?Scope=Site I enabled and configured content types. I created a Word template in the SharePoint library, and used Insert > Quick Parts > Document Property to create form fields sync'd with the Library/content type columns (Description, Project, Status). I downloaded the Word template from the same library into my OneDrive sync'd location, and uploaded it to the site collection's Content Types https://<domain>.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/online/AdminHome.aspx?modern=true#/contentTypes and sync'd to the site content types. I created documents in the library using the "New" menu. Later I ask the user or reviewer to update the document frontsheet with the dlcdocid (Insert > Quick Parts > Document ID value, or Insert > Quick Parts > Field... > DocProperty > _dlc_DocId) as well as the SharePoint Version using the policy label method (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5146555/sharepoint-label-to-embed-version-in-word-doc-havi) via Insert > Quick Parts > Document Property > Label. The Problem In the Documents library, new Word files are being re-assigned the original dlcdocid of the template (say DOCUMENT-0123456789-5). Now the "unique" URL shows me a list of multiple files all with DOCUMENT-0123456789-5. This is a read-only field so I cannot edit or delete the IDs. I want to have a Content Type template, with the frontsheet/header/footer fields sync'd with the Library columns, but I also want each document to have a unique ID and version. Help requested Is there a way to fix the template to clear the template ID, and to avoid this issue on future templates? How should I replace the template? Is uploading Template copies to the Content Type bad? Should I instead point to the file URL? Does it matter where the Template file is stored? Are there any ways to reset the ID of the few existing documents with the duplicate value?Issue where SharePoint users see an old unsynchronised Word file
The issue is that users open a Word document from a shared library into the desktop app, only to find that: There's no Autosave feature enabled in the top-right. The document version label we add on the frontsheet shows a very old minor version. I believe also that the file is read-only, and the only option they see is to save a local copy and upload it back to the library; which is not good practice since it's an old version. They report that the issue is resolved after exiting OneDrive, and deleting a Local cache folder. Has anyone experienced this issue and know what to try?
Add Shortcut to Files fails
My wife and I have a family Office 365 subscription. I have shared a folder with her with permissions to edit. She gets the email confirming this and can open the link and see the files in the folder. When she clicks "Add shortcut to My files" she gets a message "1 shortcut wasn't added". This happens using Onedrive web (through Edge) and on the Onedrive app on her iPhone. On the iPhone she hit "Add Shortcut to Files" and it says "By addding "Folder Name" to your OneDrive, you can sync it on your computers with other OneDrive files". When she clicks OK it says "Adding" and then comes up with a message "Something went wrong". Any ideas?Force OneDrive/Excel to return the local file path instead of a cloud URL
Hello, I have all my 3D models stored in a OneDrive-synced folder, including the Excel file that controls many of the model parameters. I work on three different PCs, so using OneDrive for synchronization would be ideal. However, my modeling software Solid Edge runs into a specific issue: it does find the linked Excel file in the OneDrive-synced folder and attempts to open it, but as soon as it tries to read the parameters, it gets stuck in an endless loop. The reason is that Excel no longer provides a normal local Windows file path for the workbook—even though the file is fully available offline. Instead, Excel exposes the OneDrive/SharePoint URL, and Solid Edge cannot process this URL, which causes the loop. What I have tried so far: Enabled “Keep files on this device” for the entire project folder Completely shut down OneDrive (disabled it and killed all OneDrive processes in Task Manager) Tried changing the stored Excel path inside Solid Edge from a local path to the OneDrive URL — Solid Edge does not accept URLs as valid paths None of these attempts solved the issue. If anyone has a reliable method to make Solid Edge read a OneDrive-synced Excel file as a local file path, I would really appreciate your help.Unable to add new Managed Metadata tag to Library items
I have SharePoint Admin permissions. There is a field I'm using called 'Publisher', which is open, yet doesn't allow us to add any new term. The setup looks like this: Within the Global term store: https://<domain>-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/online/AdminHome.aspx?modern=true#/termStoreAdminCenter - Term group -- Term set (Publisher) (Submission policy - Open policy: Users can add terms from a tagging application.) --- Adidas --- Reebok --- Nike Within the Site term store: https://<domain>.sharepoint.com/sites/<Site>/_layouts/15/SiteAdmin.aspx#/termStoreAdminCenter there are no term groups visible. In the Site Documents library: Content types are enabled. I have a Publisher column, associated with most of our content types. There's a default publisher, "Our company". The column settings include "Allow users to type new values". The Issue Regardless of whether I edit in grid view, or in the Details pane, once I click enter, or exit the field, or in the tag menu, the new publisher doesn't save. Users cannot enter a new publisher term. Debugging I have tried toggling term store settings (closed/open). I've tried toggling the "Require that this column contains information" (since it works for similar issue people commonly have with the 'Description' column).
