SharePoint: Unable to see all fields for Document Set properties

  • Article

Issue Description

You are not able to see columns associated with 'Document Set' content type when you view or edit properties of Document Sets. When you view or edit 
properties of Document Set you can just see the "Name" column. 

Cause

This above issue happens because you would have added a web part to the DispForm.aspx or Editform.aspx and then added a connection filter for the web parts.

Steps for Resolution

  1. Open the affected site in SharePoint Designer 
  2. Navigate to the affected Library where you have the Document Sets. 
  3. Edit the Dispform.aspx and search for below line in the code:

<TemplateName xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ListForm">DocumentLibraryForm</TemplateName>

  1. Comment out or delete the above code of line and save the page. 
  2. If you see the same thing when you edit properties of Document Set then do the same thing for Editform.aspx and save the changes.
