Created a new Site Content Type and added two Site Columns:
1. Name: Custom Folder
a. Parent Content Type: Folder
b. Group: Custom Content Types
2. Add from existing site columns
a. Date Picture Taken
b. Update all content types inheriting from this type? Yes (default)
3. Add from new site column
a. Column name: Custom Date Picture Taken
b. The type of information in this column is: Date and Time
c. Group: Custom Columns (default)
d. Date and Time Format: Date Only (default)
e. Default value: (none) (default)
f. Update all content types inheriting from this type? Yes (default)
Created a new List and applied the new Site Content Type:
1. Name: Custom List
2. Settings > List Settings
a. Advanced settings > Allow management of content types? Yes
b. Content Types > Add from existing site content types > Custom Folder
Created a new item in the list based on the new Site Content type by going
to Custom List > New > Custom Folder.
1. Date Picture Taken is missing
2. Custom Date Picture Taken is visible
However, both Site Columns are visible when going to Custom List > existing
Custom Folder > Edit Properties.
Is there a way to make both Site Columns visible when creating a new item?

Hi,
Regarding on the custom content type creation behavior, I have performed
some tests based on the steps you provided. I did find the same behavior.
When you try creating a new "Custom Folder" item, the built-in "Date
Picture Taken" column is not displayed in the NewForm.aspx page. Since the
default NewForm.aspx use a default DataFormWebPart control, I think is
possibly something incorrect with the default DataFormWebpart's behavior on
custom content type.
I have tried using sharepoint deisgner to modify the NewForm.aspx page(of
the List that applied the "custom Folder" content type) and add a custom
DataFormWebPart(for the List's newItem action) and that can display both
the two date columns correctly.
the complete customizing steps are as below:
*open the "NewForm.aspx"( of the certain List) in sharepoint designer
*locate the original DataFormWebPart, double click it and set the "Hidden"
property to true in the "Layout" category
* choose "Insert-->Shareponit Controls--->custom List Form..." to insert a
new DataFormWebPart
* in the "List or Document Library Form" dialog, select the correct List
and contentType (and type of form to create)
* save the change and refresh the page in webbrowser.
For more information on customizing such List form page, you can refer to
the following article:

Copy Web Service only uses default ContentType SharePoint I am attempting to copy a pdf document to a Document Library as a specific ContentType with field values associated with the ContentType. I am calling the CopyIntoItems method of the Copy web service class. I specify the ContentType and field values bypassing an array of FieldInfo instances as a parameter but it always assigns the document to the default ContentType (Document) and my field values are lost. Is there something else I need too add to the FieldInfo array or will it only use the default ContentType SharePoint Development Discussions ContentType (1) FieldInfo (1) CopyIntoItems (1) ContentTypeI (1) GetItem (1) Document (1) Service (1) Default (1 the item id and url and then used the Lists web service to update the ContentType and index fields. keywords: Copy, Web, Service, only, uses, default, ContentType description: I am attempting

Incorrect Folder contenttype when uploading content SharePoint We have a doclib with one custom contenttype: MyDOC When uploading content some filetypes are being uploaded but get a "Folder" contenttype. It doesn't accept any office 2003 filetype but when I rename a *.doc file to *.docx it does get (the only available) contenttype. Same applies to a 2007 document having been saved as 97-2003 *.doc format. I would expect SP to assign the only available contenttype to ANY content that is uploaded to the library. Is this a settings somewhere? It is checking both the filecontents as the filetype on upload. I can add an extra Contenttype to the library, but then the user has to choose between those contenttypes on file Discussions SPDocumentLibrary (1) SPList (1) MyDOC (1) DocumentTemplateUrl (1) Engelman (1) Danny (1) Filecontents (1) Contenttype (1) Danny, I have the same exact problem. have you ever found a fix for string.
