I am using a "Link to Document" content type in a document library (SP2013 Foundation) and the behavior is weird...when I select NEW/Link to Document, I am prompted to "Choose a file", as if using a Document content type, rather than just prompting for a URL and text as expected.
Any ideas?
Okay, I found the solution...somehow the "Link to Document" content type TEMPLATE field had been blanked out. I changed it back to "/_layouts/15/NewLink.aspx" and all is well!
Have you set the "Link to Document" content type as the default content type on the Document library? If not, set as default and you should be prompted to enter a URL instead of a file. You can also select the new "Link to Document" content type from the "New Document" button on the ribbon menu.
If this doesn't work, have you tried removing and adding the content type?
