| May 15, 2019 at 11:33 | comment | added | Ed1995 | Im quite new using SharePoint so not really familiar with scripts but still thank you. Maybe create a new column and from new make the users use it but not sure if my consultant would like this | |
| May 15, 2019 at 11:28 | comment | added | Ganesh Sanap - MVP | Yes, you can not make Yes/No column as required/optional field from settings. Maybe you can first create a choice column and write a script to update that choice column with the value of Yes/No field and then delete Yes/no field. | |
| May 15, 2019 at 11:13 | comment | added | Ed1995 | I wanted to keep this specific column to YES/No but when I go to the setting I dont see any option where I can make this column required to be filled or changed when file is uploaded. I dont see the option ''Require that this column contains information: '' anywhere. On the other hand if it a Choice Coulmn type I get the option to ''Require that this column contains information: '' | |
| May 15, 2019 at 11:04 | comment | added | Ganesh Sanap - MVP | Nothing will happen to column if you remove indexing. But if you have filters in list view on this column then views will broke. Why do you want to change the type of Yes/No column? | |
| May 15, 2019 at 10:41 | comment | added | Ed1995 | What does actually happen to the column if I remove the indexing to that column ? How do I give or set this coulmn type to all the items. I can't do it manually to all of them. | |
| May 15, 2019 at 10:29 | comment | added | Ganesh Sanap - MVP | The items will be visible if the list view does not cross the threshold. Do not remove the column. Remove the indexing to the column only. Or you will loose all data set in that field. | |
| May 15, 2019 at 10:24 | comment | added | Ed1995 | One last thing. So all the items have that column type. If I remove it, it wont be visible ? Let's say I create a new cloumn type. How do I give or set this coulmn type to all the items. I can't do it manually to all of them. | |
| May 15, 2019 at 10:23 | comment | added | Ganesh Sanap - MVP | Do you have any filters in list view on this column? If No, maybe you can index another columns which are being used frequently for items and add filters on those columns. And then delete this Yes?No column. | |
| May 15, 2019 at 10:21 | comment | added | Ganesh Sanap - MVP | Nothing will happen to the items. But if any list view will return more than 5000 items then you cannot see anything in your view. | |
| May 15, 2019 at 10:06 | comment | added | Ed1995 | What would have to all my items that used that coulumn type and I delete it ? | |
| May 15, 2019 at 10:02 | comment | added | Ganesh Sanap - MVP | I am afraid, but you cannot change the field type from Yes/No to choice column if it is indexed. | |
| May 15, 2019 at 9:56 | comment | added | Ed1995 | My Document library has around 11000 items on it ans a list can show me around 5000 items. All of those files used that column type so I dont really want to delete it | |
| May 15, 2019 at 9:48 | comment | added | Ganesh Sanap - MVP | see updated answer. How many items are there in your list? | |
