Provisioning MutliUser SiteColumn SharePoint 2013
On SharePoint
Have you ever tried to create a site column using a feature , how many times you searched for the correct format and syntax , I've tried to add multiple Person column to a custom content type
and instead of googling and copy and paste the code I came up with another way to get the Field Schema without google help !
I created a dummy custom list
and instead of googling and copy and paste the code I came up with another way to get the Field Schema without google help !
I created a dummy custom list
- Add an App
- Choose custom List
- Type the list name in my case I Typed "TestList"
- Check if the list has been created
- Go to List ->List Settings
- Add New Column , Type PeopleMulti , Choose Person or Group
- Choose allow multiple values, People Only
Using Power Shell type the below 2 lines to export the field schema to XML file
here is the UserMulti field , don't forget to change the Field ID
<Field Type="UserMulti"
DisplayName="PeopleMulti"
List="UserInfo"
Required="FALSE"
EnforceUniqueValues="FALSE"
ShowField="ImnName"
UserSelectionMode="PeopleOnly"
UserSelectionScope="0"
Mult="TRUE"
Sortable="FALSE"
ID="{87C0735C-394D-4783-BDAD-1C997EF2B9AF}"
StaticName="PeopleMulti" Name="PeopleMulti"
/>
Note remove the source ID from the generated XML , you can use the same method to get any Field Schema to help you create Custom Content Type using Visual studio
