I want to create a lookup column that references the 'Name' field of a document set.
I can only choose document titles but I want to reference the document set name that the user gives to it. Is there an option to achive
Per my test and knowledge, there is no option to use document set name as reference in the lookup column.

In Modern Sharepoint I created a Document Library by New>Document Library and then uploading *.png files.
They are stored in a Column Name called Name (linked to document with edit menu). This can be seen in Settings>Edit View
Now I want to create a Calculated Column to calculate the last character before the .png in the filename which are in the Name Column.
I go to Add Column > More > Create Column and define Column Name and Type.
Then defining the formula but the Name column does not appear in the drop down list.
Any suggestions ?
thx
It's known case. We cannot use filename in calculated field. You could vote here: https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329214-sites-and-collaboration/suggestions/36029680-use-filename-in-calculated-field
As a workaround, you could use workflow /flow to make the Title field gets the filename. Then use title field in the calculated column.
I want to set total sold quantity in last six months in custom field on item and want to use that for other customization.
I am able to display it on the field using summary search but not able to save it.
The value of a Saved Search custom field is calculated every time the record is displayed and not stored in the database, which is why you can't use it directly in other customizations. A workaround is to have a second field which stores the value, and then you can use a Workflow or script to copy the field value.
I want to set the value of a custom customer field. The field type is List/Record and the value must be from a custom list.
I believe I have to set the value to the internal ID value of the custom list item. The items look like this:
Am I right that I have to use the ID value? Instead could I set the customer field to the Value value?
Assuming that I have to set the customer field to the ID value, I want to load all the items into memory and then look up the ID by the Value, like this:
The problem is that I cannot work out how to download the items using SuiteTalk. I can use CustomListSearchBasic to get the custom list record:
But I can't seem to get the items in the custom list.
Please can you help? Also, I'd be delighted to know how to work this out for myself. The schema browser didn't help.
I worked it out. I needed to set searchPreferences.bodyFieldsOnly = false
I'm modifying the properties form of a SharePoint list that requires the user to select one or more items via a lookup to a document set. The document set library has a "Name" field which I cannot select as a field in my form's lookup properties.
The document set, of course, is a collection of documents grouped together with a common name, workflows, and metadata. The "name" I'm trying to display in my lookup list is set by the end user, but is inaccessible to me. Ideally, when someone is viewing an item in my SharePoint list (the one I'm trying to link from) and they see an associated document set item, they would be able to click on the name and it will take them to that element within the document set.
Any ideas?
Okay, I got around this issue by creating a new workflow that fires any time a record is modified. This workflow sets a new text field to the value in the Name field. To apply this to existing records, I created a new checkbox field named "Fire Workflow", then went to the Datasheet view and checked that checkbox for all of the records. This forced the workflow to fire on each record and update the new text field.
Now I just reference this new text field for the lookup in my other library. All is good!
I have a list of ID and Color in excel sheet.
I need to import file and check existing if any changes to the color value.
If there is any changes, I need to update new value and recored old value in history field.
How do I do this?
First, save the Excel spreadsheet as a CSV file, it will be much easier to import it then. Use the file functions in Lotusscript.
Next, write your Lotusscript agent. You have the solution in the headline of your question, so I am not really sure what you are asking.
You could use the GetDocumentByKey() method of the NotesView class to get the document based on the ID, then compare the value of the color field in that document. If it is the same, go to the next document, otherwise add the existing value to teh history field and replace it with the new value, then go to the next document.
Another, and much faster, way would be that you read all the new values into a list, with the ID as list tag and color value as list item. Make sure you have a view with the document ID as one of the columns and color value as another. Create a NotesViewEntryCollection object, then use the GetFirstEntry/GetNextEntry methods to loop through the collection. For each entry, use the ColumnValues() method to get the value if the ID column, and use IsElement to check if that value exists in the list you created. If it does exist, you compare the list item value with the value of the color column. If they are different, open the document, update the history field and replace the old color value with the new value.
