View problem when attaching workflow to list programmatically

Question

Very irritating problem. I have a list with the following view

<View BaseViewID="1" Type="HTML" WebPartZoneID="Main" DisplayName="$Resources:core,All_Documents;" DefaultView="TRUE" MobileView="True" MobileDefaultView="True" SetupPath="pages\viewpage.aspx" ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/dlicon.png" Url="Forms/AllItems.aspx">
        <Toolbar Type="Standard" />
        <XslLink Default="TRUE">main.xsl</XslLink>
        <RowLimit Paged="TRUE">30</RowLimit>
        <ViewFields>
          <FieldRef Name="DocIcon"></FieldRef>
          <FieldRef Name="LinkFilename"></FieldRef>
          <FieldRef Name="Description"></FieldRef>
          <FieldRef Name="Modified"></FieldRef>
          <FieldRef Name="Editor"></FieldRef>
        </ViewFields>
        <ParameterBindings>
          <ParameterBinding Name="NoAnnouncements" Location="Resource(wss,noitemsinview_doclibrary)" />
          <ParameterBinding Name="NoAnnouncementsHowTo" Location="Resource(wss,noitemsinview_doclibrary_howto2)" />
        </ParameterBindings>
        <Query>
          <OrderBy>
            <FieldRef Name="FileLeafRef" />
          </OrderBy>
        </Query>
      </View>

In the schema I set it so only the Description field should be displayed on the edit/new forms. Everything works as expected until I programmatically attach a workflow to the list. When I do this the new/edit forms stop displaying the description field and instead show the filename field. I am lost as to why this is happening....any help?

Answer 1

probably you can fix this by resetting fields visibility after adding WF, then hide all except description again; that might be columns indices change issue
