I am in the process of updating my Bug template in TFS 2013 via the Process Editor tool in Visual Studio.
I'm attempting to only display an additional field when a specific choice is selected from one of the drop-down menus. We require individuals filing bugs to select the environment in which the bug was found, i.e., Development, Test, Staging, Production. I want an additional string field to display when "Production" is selected from the Environment drop-down menu. I also want this field to be required when "Production" is selected before the item can be saved.
I'm sure this is easy to do, but, I just can't figure it out.
Any help would be fantastic, thank you!
You can have the XML of Environment field looks like:
<FieldDefinition name="EnvironmentCustom" refname="env.field" type="String">
<ALLOWEDVALUES expanditems="true">
<LISTITEM value="Development" />
<LISTITEM value="Test" />
<LISTITEM value="Staging" />
<LISTITEM value="Production" />
</ALLOWEDVALUES>
</FieldDefinition>
And make the XML of additional field looks like:
<FieldDefinition name="VarCustom" refname="var.field" type="String">
<WHEN field="env.field" value="Production">
<REQUIRED />
<ALLOWEDVALUES expanditems="true">
<LISTITEM value="good" />
<LISTITEM value="bad" />
</ALLOWEDVALUES>
</WHEN>
</FieldDefinition>
In this way, you'll see Environment field has a drop down with values "Development", "Test", "Staging", "Production", and additional field has a drop down with values "good", "bad". Once you select "Production" in Environment field, the additional field will become Required, you'll have to select a vlue for additional field before saving this work item type.
Adding:
If you don't want to a drop down under the additional field, you can remove the ALLOWEDVALUES rule, then you can type any string in it. The XML looks like:
<FieldDefinition name="VarCustom" refname="var.field" type="String">
<WHEN field="env.field" value="Production">
<REQUIRED />
</WHEN>
</FieldDefinition>
It's not able to hide/un-hide VarCustom field by using Rules, you need to customize your own work item control to achieve your requirement. You can check the links and examples about custom work item control at website below:

I am working on a small back-end application on Sitecore 8. As a feature, the application has to quickly search through thousands of items and find which one is not publishable. As far as I know I need to add relevant field to the lucene index. I did a research on google and found people can access to this property through __Never publish field. For example they use it on sitecore powershell to switch this boolean property ( I tried it and it works).
However I am struggling to make this working in Lucene index. I added something like this to my index definition on master database:
<configuration ref="contentSearch/indexConfigurations/defaultLuceneIndexConfiguration">
<fieldMap type="Sitecore.ContentSearch.FieldMap, Sitecore.ContentSearch">
<fieldNames hint="raw:AddFieldByFieldName">
<field fieldName="title" storageType="YES" indexType="TOKENIZED" vectorType="NO" boost="1f" type="System.String" settingType="Sitecore.ContentSearch.LuceneProvider.LuceneSearchFieldConfiguration, Sitecore.ContentSearch.LuceneProvider" />
...
<field fieldName="__Never publish" storageType="YES" indexType="TOKENIZED" vectorType="NO" boost="1f" type="System.String" settingType="Sitecore.ContentSearch.LuceneProvider.LuceneSearchFieldConfiguration, Sitecore.ContentSearch.LuceneProvider" />
</fieldNames>
</fieldMap>
</configuration>
Any field I add to index (even some built-in fields) can get indexed and the content can get stored as well. (like the "title" in the above example) but I don't understand why the neverpublish field doesn't.
I looked into other configuration files and found it is excluded from being indexed inside Sitecore.ContentSearch.Lucene.DefaultIndexConfiguration.config and the definition is like this:
<exclude hint="list:ExcludeField">
....
<NeverPublish>{9135200A-5626-4DD8-AB9D-D665B8C11748}</NeverPublish>
....
<exclude>
Then I commented the it out but still no luck. I wonder if I am referencing the field name correctly or there is anything else I should no. Any suggestion?
This configuration works fine for me:
<field fieldName="__never publish" storageType="YES" indexType="TOKENIZED" vectorType="NO" boost="1f" type="System.Boolean" settingType="Sitecore.ContentSearch.LuceneProvider.LuceneSearchFieldConfiguration, Sitecore.ContentSearch.LuceneProvider" />
It differs from yours with type: type="System.Boolean"
p.s.: And of course excluding from search should be commented as you mentioned above
This is very similar to another question concerning how to switch a type from 'varchar' to 'char'. However, I'm having trouble getting my XML config to work.
One of the fields that app/console doctrine:schema:update --dump-sql is saying differs from my database is this:
ALTER TABLE user CHANGE password password VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL;
I'm pretty certain that that's because my database definition for that field is correctly set to char(32), but Doctrine isn't expecting the field to be fixed.
To poke Doctrine into knowing it's fixed, I've added the following XML:
<field name="password" type="string" column="password" length="32" nullable="false">
<options>
<option name="fixed" value="true" />
</options>
</field>
Is this not correct?
Some bonus information, if it matters: I'm using MySQL.
Just stumbled upon on your thread.
The syntax in your original post was incorrect. I wanted to leave my comment just in-case someone else happens to find this thread. While the accepted answer works, the 'fixed option' in the Doctrine schema works too.
With the code snipet above, it should look like this:
<field name="password" type="string" column="password" length="32" nullable="false">
<options>
<option name="fixed">true</option>
</options>
</field>
The attribute value is not valid.
Hope this helps whoever ventures on this thread!
I've stumbled upon a reasonable enough answer, but it's definitely a bit of a hack.
<field name="password" type="string" column="password" length="32" nullable="false" column-definition="CHAR(32) NOT NULL" />
length and nullable are actually ignored here, but I figured I'd leave them in the be verbose about what I want. The column-definition is actually what's forcing the fixed length CHAR.
Unfortunately, this attribute doesn't seem to get taken into account when doing the schema diff, so it'll always say there's a difference on that field.
I'm fairly new to SharePoint 2010, I've had some experience with 2007 but only debugging and fixing some small bug.
Assuming that i create a new solution for SP 2010 in VS2010 and i add a feature to create some list definitions and also some list instances of those list definition templates. These are all declared through Schema.xml =>
I deploy successfully and add a few items to my new lists.
Now i want to add a few extra columns (fields) to my lists, how will i deploy them?
I don't want to create them in code, i would like to have a up to date solution that with every new developer a simple deployment would create an up and running Dev environment.
What is the correct way to do the deployment in this case?
If you have the schema.xml file defined for the list, then you really want to add your new columns using the collection within the list definition. You also want to be sure your list is defined by a content type, allowing for reuse. So within your schema.xml file, it would look something like this:
<List xmlns:ows="Microsoft SharePoint" Title="Test List" FolderCreation="FALSE" Direction="$Resources:Direction;" Url="Lists/Test-List" BaseType="0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<MetaData>
<ContentTypes>
<ContentType ID="0x010068a2e063a1a74913a37ecdb61ab2c721" Name="Test" Group="Custom Content Types" Description="Test Description" Inherits="TRUE" Version="0">
<FieldRefs>
<FieldRef ID="{c2f80e7d-666e-4273-8b58-d5c8a13a9d6a}" Name="Col1" ShowInNewForm="TRUE" Required="TRUE" ShowInEditForm="TRUE"/>
<FieldRef ID="{a84d620a-d42d-455c-8ef8-7e9f1d443250}" Name="Col2" Required="TRUE" ShowInNewForm="TRUE" ShowInEditForm="TRUE"/>
<!-- Your new field refs here here -->
</FieldRefs>
</ContentType>
</ContentTypes>
<Fields>
<Field ID="{c2f80e7d-666e-4273-8b58-d5c8a13a9d6a}" Type="Text" AllowDeletion="FALSE" Description="Key" AllowDuplicateValues="FALSE" EnforceUniqueValues="TRUE" Indexed="TRUE" Name="Col1" DisplayName="Col1" Group="Custom Columns" />
<Field ID="{a84d620a-d42d-455c-8ef8-7e9f1d443250}" Type="Text" AllowDeletion="FALSE" Name="Col2" DisplayName="Col2" Group="Custom Columns" />
<!-- Your new fields here -->
</Fields>
...
</MetaData>
</List>
Don't forget to change your View as well!
I am created an External List in VS and in the schema.XML file I have a few fields that I would like to change their display name, and format some dates.
We created an External List in SP, exported the wsp, and grabbed the list components of the site and added it to our project.
Here is an example of what I thought would work, but it does not.
<Field DisplayName="Date Closed" Format="DateOnly" Hidden="FALSE" Name="DateClosed" SourceID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3" StaticName="DateClosed" Type="DateTime" />
<Field DisplayName="Closed By" Hidden="FALSE" Name="ClosedBy" SourceID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3" StaticName="ClosedBy" Type="Text" />
We have a filter setup in the section which is working, so I know that the file is being used. Any insight as to why the changes I made to the field are not taking effect?
I have a custom list definition, and I am trying to rename the custom 'Title' field to 'Name' and to make it enforce unique values. First, I referenced it in the custom content type (Elements.xml):
<FieldRef ID="{fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247}" Name="Title"/>
and then in the list template (Schema.xml):
<Field ID="{fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247}" Name="Title" DisplayName="Name" Type="Text" AllowDuplicateValues="FALSE" Required="TRUE"></Field>
The field is renamed, but I can add list items with the same title. If I go in the field settings page, the Enforce unique values property is set to false. How can I enable it, what I am doing wrong?
In order to make this work you need to add:
Required="TRUE" EnforceUniqueValues="TRUE" Indexed="TRUE"
And Remove
AllowDuplicateValues
To your <Field> in both the Elements.xml and the Schema.xml of your list definition.
