SharePoint - Title Site Column

Hi all

I have one site collection with one top-level site and one subsite. I had
tried renaming the "Title" Site Column thinking it would only affect it in
the subsite, however it seems to have affected it across the entire site
collection. Now when I try to reset the name back to "Title" sharepoint says
it "can't because the name is in use or is reserved". the name in the
subsite.
Can anybody tell me how to reset the column name back to the default name of

Thanks in advance

If you want to rename the title column back here's what you do.  Get to the page where you can edit the name of the site column.  From the file menu do a save as a web page complete - this is important.  Edit the html file (which should be "change column.html") in Notepad. search for "doesFieldNameConflict" without the quotes.  Delete the following section:





if (doesFieldNameConflict(DisplayName))

{

alert(L_alert3_Text);

frm.DisplayName.focus();

return false;

}



Hit save.  Open the html document in Internet Explorer, type Title for the name of the column and click OK.  You can then delete the "Column Change.html" file and the folder that was created with it.

{

alert(L_alert3_Text);

frm.DisplayName.focus();

return false;

}



Save the file.  Open it in IE. Type Title for the name of the column and click OK.  Your column should be set back to title.

Josh,



thanks a million! Seems to be an old post but I recently had the same issue and I tried to fix it with Powershell scripting - for vain. Then I bumped into your post and Lo! It works! :)



Kudos for you :)

(or which ever profile import connection re using) When it displays domain \ username it's typically because it cannot find a displayname for the account. However if there's a displayname, it'll show that name once it validates the user. Best Regards - - Tobias Zimmergren http The issue is , it was working fine for ALL users , Now all of the sudden displayname changed as Domain \ Username only for VERY few users remaining users are always OK Note for very fewusers having the issue , for them also it was OK , not NOw Their Displayname changed even in old Records too , it was fine before please help Are all users
