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:
