Fields disappearing and unable to update document's field
These are two seperate issues but I'm pretty sure theyre related. This is only happening on one site and NOT across the site collection (for now). This document library has a bunch of fields. These two with problems happen to be multi choice. 1. We have a document type field that "disappeared" a few times. I told the team that someone probably messed up and deleted it and left it at that. No errors or signs of what happened (checked audit logs). Thats brings us to: 2. Field 'Media type' is unable to update. If you try to give it a value it will change the modified date but not the value. This is only happening for certain documents, all pptx. Anyone have clues as to what is happening? If you need more info please ask. Thanks! http://lbellows.blogspot.com http://www.ptreviews.net

I found a clue. I tried to resave one of the docs via PP with a different name, and then update the field through there. I do this error: '{817426cd-5c83-48ec-b77c-484bec4586ee}Value' is in nil content: <{817426cd-5c83-48ec-b77c-484bec4586ee}Media_x0020_Type>. Want to also note: I am able to upload a blank doc and modify that way. I guess some kind of strangeness with those files and sharepoint. I would still like to know an answer though if anyone has one. The fact that nothing comes up on google makes me think its a strange anomaly. Perhaps Ill open a Microsoft ticket. http://lbellows.blogspot.com http://www.ptreviews.net
