Remarks
The FieldRefs element contains a collection of FieldRef Element (ContentType) elements. The FieldRef element is a reference to a column defined elsewhere, either at the site or list level. In the field reference, you can override a subset of the column properties, such as the following:
Display name
XML promotion and demotion attributes
Whether the field is read-only, required, or hidden
Changing these properties in the field reference only changes them as they apply to the specific content type that contains the field reference.
The DocumentTemplate Element (FieldRefs) child element is obsolete.
For more information about field references, see Fields and Field References.
