I am having a dilemma changing a field from Read only. I have a custom field which is a fomula(Checkbox). Field level security is set to visible for all profiles and the Read only checkboxes are also checked for every profile. I am unable to de-select the Read only checkboxes. I tried changing the field from Read only in the layout but I can't seem to be able to uncheck that as well. What can I do about this? The field is set to Read only on my profile and I can't seem to be able to uncheck the Read only when I edit the profile.
Do I need an admin to change this setting?
Formula fields are always calculated, and therefore always read-only, perhaps you want the field to have a default value formula rather than a calculated value?

I am trying to duplicate a page from one dashboard to the other. In order to do so, I need to create the same property controls that are on the original page to my new page. Where can I see how were the property controls set up?
I've tried several things:
1. under Document Property - Properties, I can only see the first value for that property control but still don't know what are the rest.
2. I am trying to dropbox-list the property control under text area, but when I click on the name of the control - the content does not show the corresponding setting of the control, which only let you to create/edit from the default.
Thank you so much for your help!
Since you stated you are trying to see what the mappings are to a property control used in the text area, you have to "edit the text area" to see it.
In the text area, Right Click > Edit Text Area > Double Click the Property Control
This will bring up the configuration, specifically what the values are set to.
I'm building out a custom page type. I have two fields, Name and File, and i'm hoping to accomplish the following:
File is not visible or active until Name is filled out.
If Name has a value, then File is required.
I don't see an option to make a field required if another field has a value.
To make the File field appear when the Name field is set:
On Name field, check has depending fields.
On the File field
check depends on another field.
set visibility condition, to Name.Value != ""
You can't check required on File, but you can set a validation rule that checks if it is null, that validation only runs if the field is visible.
See Field editor reference scroll down to Field advanced settings for more details on the Visibility condition.
Is there anyway I can dynamically hide and display webpart property fields depending on other fields for the same webpart?
For example I only want to display/enable Full Screen if Apply To's selected value is "container":
I tried doing this but it doesn't work
Yes this can be done. On the property you are checking (ApplyTo) make sure you have checked the "Has depending fields" property checked. On the property you want to toggle the visibility on, in the Visibility condition field, enter:
ApplyTo.Value == "container"
And also make sure it has the "Depends on another field" checked.
This will dynamically hide/show the field based on the value you have in the ApplyTo property.
You can follow as below
1.Go to on Apply-To property in web-part then set 'Has depending fields' is checked.
2.Go to on full-width property in web-part then set Visibility condition: ApplyTo=='container'

I am looking for a way to set a list field default value to a property that I have programmatically set on the site where the list resides.
Essentially every item in the list will have the same value which will be hidden from the normal user view. Down stream, I am using a content query web part to pull that field so I can group on it.
I am using SP2013.
Thanks for the help
With Site Properties you mean the SPSite.RootWeb.AllProperties property bag which you have filled with some custom property?
Assuming that is what you are talking about, there are unfortunately no standard ways to work with property bags - besides programming that is.
You said you want to set a default value on a list field for each list item. This sounds like an event receiver! You can choose to have it fire on item updating and/or item created for all your items and always set the hidden field on the item with the value from the site properties.
After selecting calendar in campaign form , I need to set text field only display Month/Year
instead of Day/Month/Year. How can I do this?
I attached a screen shot below:
Here its Day/Month/Year, but I need Month/Year.
I suspect that the date-time field is formatted according to the system settings (be that picked from CRM or the user's computer). Not sure if it's editable other than that. I'll take a look at it later today.
In case it's not possible to customize the date format of a single field you've got three options (listed in increasing order of control but also of implementation workload).
Set the system settings according to your wishes.
Add custom fields and control the looks in these.
Create a web resource that behaves exactly as you wish.
