I created a custom lookup field type which works fine. However, there is a context menu for every item in columns of this type.
I didn't do anything on purpose to add this context menu.
How to get rid of it?
If you go to View -> Modify this View, you can select from the fields you'd like to have visible in the default view. There should be several options for some fields, and the one you likely have by default will be something like medium city (linked to document with edit menu). Choose medium city on its own and you should be good to go!
I solved the problem.
The source list "Cities" had three columns - "Name of the city", "Name of the city (linked to item)" and "Name of the city (linked to item with edit menu)".
When I was creating the "medium city" column in the "Customers" list, I chose "Name of the city" from the drop-down list. I was positive it was the 1st column but it turned out it was the 3rd one.
I modified the code filling the drop-down list with data so it contains no linked to item columns and it's working fine now.

I created an Equipment Log list on Sharepoint Online that has four required columns:
Last Name
First Name
Start Date
Item (renamed from the default Title)
when I want to Edit an item or add a New item, only the "Title" column is showing with an asterisk(*) next to it on the edit form.
When I leave the 3 required columns (except Title/Item) blank, a new record gets inserted into the list but the columns have pink colored boxes with "Required info" text.
When I leave Title blank on the Edit form and click Save, I get this validation message
"An entry is required or has an invalid value. Please correct and try again."
How come I do not get the same validation message for the other 3 required fields?
Thank you.
new item form with only the Title column with an asterisk
new record with missing 3 required columns
I could reproduce this when setting a column to a required column, the old items would show "Required info" if there's no value in this field. This is by design behavior, which reminds you that column is changed to a required column.
Besides, it's by default that the Title column is a required column when we create a list. You could change this in this way: go to list settings-> click the column Title, select no for "Require that this column contains information". Like this:
As mentioned in the title above, I've added Created by and Modified by column field in my custom list.
But however, when i added a new item into the list, I was not able to see my name or the person's name, that creates the item.
Would like to know what are the possible reasons to this issue.
UPDATES:
Here is the issue i'm facing.
First of all you dont need to add CreatedBy, CreatedDate, ModifiedBy, ModifiedDate columns to lists these are added by default.
All you have to do is to edit the default view and add the columns to the default view, if you have a custom view edit it and add the columns.
When you add a column you get the option to add it to default view.
Doing the above will show the columns in the view.
How to change the view
Goto List Settings (Gear icon on right if O365 or Top Ribbon Menu)
On the bottom you will find the "Views" section
Click the "All Items" now you can see all the available columns the Created and CreatedBy will be there just tick it and remove your columns.
Press ok your columns will be displayed in the view with correct values.
I'm new to Netsuite, so please bear with me. I have created a saved item search that is working fine with one exception; one of the result columns I have chosen is not displaying data in the returned rows. This is a custom field created by our old Netsuite Administrator and it does display data on an item record, just not in search results. I've done some searching and thought I found the problem when I read another post that said that "Global Search" and "Show In List" needed to be checked on the custom field. I did that, but the search results still do not display any data for that column.
The field is a custom item field of the type decimal number. Store value, show in list and global search is checked. The field is applied to inventory items, non-inventory items, kit/package and assembly/bill of materials. What am I missing? TIA
I suspect the field has field level access permissions. Go to the field definition and click the 'Access' tab. The 'Default Level or Searching/Reporting' should be at least 'Run'.
Global Search on a field makes it so if you enter a value in the Global Search bar that matches the field's value for an item then that item will be shown as a possible match. It has nothing to do with your issue. Neither does Show in List.
I have a form on Sharepoint, whereby I have 2 drop-down controls.
Lets say the first one has values "A, B and C" to choose from.
According to the option selected in the 1st drop-down, I will have to populate the 2nd drop-down accordingly.
Is there a way to do that in Sharepoint Designer or Infopath?
The dropdown are both created similarly;
Or if I can at least filter the 2nd drop down, according to the value chosen in the 1st drop down.
I am newbie in Sharepoint dev, and need some tips on the above.
if I've understood you correctly, what you are trying to do is populate the 2nd dropdown list based on what is selected from the first.
Have you tried to put a filter on the 2nd drop-down, like this...?
Open up your list form in InfoPath
Right click on the 2nd choice field and select, 'Drop-down List Box Properties'
Click on the button to the right of 'Entries'
Click on 'Filter Data' button
Click on 'Add'
Enter the condition (i.e. 'Choice' is equal to 'Choice', or whatever the name of your 1st choice field is.)
Does that work? (I'm assuming you aren't using a secondary data source.)
In the list, I set-up "ID" column and "Title" column.
I added 10 items in the list, and I'm trying to put the 10th item between 1 and 2.
After my research, many people said I can't manually change ID number...
Is there a way to re-order the item?
deleting every items is the only answer?
Please help!
The ID column is an internal identity-like column. You cannot change the value. If you need a column that you can order by (and change), just create a new column called SortOrder or something. Then sort by that column.
I know this is an old post, but I thought this might help someone who might be looking for an OOB answer.
Go into your links list so that you see your List Tools, Items and List at the top.
Select Items.
There is a Change Item Order Icon in the Ribbon. This will allow you to renumber the Links in your list and change the order.
You can manually change the items order if you create your list based on a link list definition. This kind of list allows you to re-order items as you require through a ribbon button. I use this workaround often.
The ID Column is SharePoint inbuilt and you can not change the value of it.
for your solution either you need to delete all item and insert it again or as #Nigel Whatling say you have to add SortColumn
Column Setting will only change the order in the SharePoint List. To change the view order Use the Modify View Selector to adjust the way the fields are sorted. Modify View is found on the ... next to Find and Item Box or If your in the site setting it is under View on the lower 3rd of the page
I also got stuck with this and couldn't use the previous answers as I couldn't see the buttons they spoke of in the ribbon.
I went to List > List Settings in the ribbon. At the bottom of the list settings page I click on a View to edit it (or create new view). Unser the heading Sort you can change the column you wish to sort by and change from descending to ascending etc.
Actually, if I understand the question, it was just what I was trying to accomplish and spent most of my morning working on.
Select the List.
From toolbar, select List under List Tools.
Click List Settings.
Below the listed columns, see Column Ordering
Modify "Position from Top" number and click OK at bottom.
Updated steps:
