My aim is to get the dropdown list from docx (which is a template)and choose a value from it. The chosen value has to be again written to the docx without the dropdown being shown.

I want to create a custom template for users with data validations. I have completed the data validation part but I want to display all the cell values in a certain columns as dropdown values with a label like "Select from dropdown".
Once you applied the List, you can add the Text "Select from dropdown" by copy and paste (as value) to the list cells.
Then you have it as you want, but once you choose a value from the drop down and delete it again, then the cell will remain empty. The text "Select from dropdown" will not display anymore. Solving this, you will need to use VBA programming.
I am using a rich text multiline textbox field in SharePoint 2016 where users can add text & images while submitting the data from a Nintex form. The data is getting saved successfully in a SharePoint List.
The issue is when users are exporting the data to an excel, only the text is getting exported of the multiline textbox field and not the image. Please suggest if we can get the image also in exported data.
An early response would be highly appreciated!
The picture you inserted in the rich text field is stored in another place. When you export the list into excel file, it will only export text in the rich text field. You could use Hyperlink and Picture column to import picture URL from list to Excel file.

Sharepoint 2010I'm slowly making progress with Sharepoint, but have encountered a problem with Content Types and Word Quickparts.
What I'm trying to do:
I want a Content type to hold summary information for manuals and related documents that might be located in separate libraries. I want to display this information in a Table within Word (by setting up a template) using Word Quick Parts>Document property fields.This table would then summarise all the relevant fields and their related links at the top of a document that in turn summarises information about a particular system.This Word document in turn would be stored in a separate document library.
This all works fine for dates, text descriptions, check boxes, yes/no fields and drop down selections as I can find the related Word Quick Parts>Document Property
However, the "Hyperlink or Picture" Type fields are not present in the Word Quick Parts>Document Property fields. SoAm I completely misunderstanding what content types are for? orIs there a setting within sharepoint that would make these hyperlinks visible in the Word Quick Parts?or Is there a better alternate solution. Thanks!
Hyperlink is not available as property in Word Quick Parts.
Sadly, you can access to this field in Word when you click in the property icon. This will display all the SharePoint property of the document with the hyperlink field.
A workaround would be to create a simple text field and to put the URL of the hyperlink field in this field. (With Workflow or Event Receiver)
An another deep solution is proposed in this link :

This is about create two properties, one for the text, one for the url. Then to arrange it in Word in order to get an hyperlink.
Since Microsoft seems to be removing a lot of its legacy web pages, the content of the above link is copied below:
a. In the sharepoint list, you will need two text properties, one for
the link text and one for the display text. Let's call them hllink1
and hldisplay1. For a sample document, put some text in each of these
properties.
b. in the template,
insert the hllink1 Document Property and the hldisplay1 Document Property. This is a temporary move that will let you change thevalues
of these properties without displaying the DIP
insert a HYPERLINK field as follows
use ctrl-F9 to insert a pair of field code braces { }
type HYPERLINK "" between the {}, so you have
{ HYPERLINK "" }
then insert another copy of the hllink1 Document Property between the ""
{ HYPERLINK "the Document Property for hllink1" }
c. select the Hyperlink field and use F9 to update it. When you show
the result (Alt-F9), you should see a clickable hyperlink where the
"display text" is the same as the link text
d. Click somewhere inside the display text, and insert the hldisplay1
Document Property.
e. Carefully select the remainder of the display text and delete it.
You should stil be left with a hyperlink that can be ctrl-clicked in
the usual way.
f. Modify the texts in hllink1 and hldisplay1. However notice that,
as a maximum, the hyperlink display text will update automatically.
The tooltip for the hyperlink does not update automatically.
g. Select the hyperlink and press F9 to update it. The tooltip/link
text should update
I am using SSIS (2008R2) to insert data into a SharePoint 2010 list. The problem I am having is that the combo box selections are inserted as text values (not the appropriate selection) and are not available on a subsequent extract. They also immediately revert to the first list item if a user edits the list item. How do I insert data and make the appropriate value selection from the combo-box values?
Ok. Figured this one out with a little trial and error.
The combo-box/"multi-select choice" stores as plain text.
In order to programatically insert with SSIS set the default value of the choice to calculation and leave it empty.
It is important to note that these items are not set to restrict to list.
Simply changing the default value to an empty calculation instead of "choice" (which defaults to the first list item) allowed me to insert plain text values and have them store properly.
