SharePoint property panel allow us to change a Shared document set column
I have a document set content type named DS123, and it contains 2 custom columns D1 & D2 as follow:-
then i created a content type named "D" which contain a custom column named "D3":-
and define it inside the document set content type + i define the D1 as a shared column, as follow:-
now i created a document set folder based on the DS123 , then i added a document inside it based on the "D" content type. then i selected the document, where i will get those columns (D1 -the shared column- & D3), as follow:-
but the modification i do inside the D1 columns will not get applied, unlike the modification to the D3 column.. so what is the reason? is this that the D1 is a shared column from the document set? if this is the case, then how we can disable the field inside the property panel?
Thanks
DaveMehr365Yes this is also compatible with my test also,, but why the document set column/s will be shown inside the panel as they will be editable but their value will not be saved, i mean those columns should be either hidden from the panel, or shown as read-only/disabled fields .. did you get my question?
Hello johnjohn-Peter
i have rebuild your scenario and it works fine, the value from SPODocSetD1 comes from the DocumentSet, SPODocSetD3 is empty, this column is only from the Document ContentType:
I have created all columns and ContentTypes on Site leve.
Best, Dave

Hello johnjohn-Peter
you can hide the column:
The values are still transferred from the document set to the document:
