I want to modify a list template which is already created in my site collection.Once I upload the list into the template gallery it becomes a .stp file.But how to modify this again?

I am having a requirement to change formula of one of the the list columns in this list and make available with this change.The site from which I have taken the list as a template is not existing now.I am using SP 2013.

    You can try to download the stp file change extension to rar then extract it and see what you can do with the manifest.xml file.

    Do Right Click on manifest.xml select Add to manifest.rar. Once you have a rar file then again change the extension to .stp .

There is no straight forward way.

But the best option would be

  1. create a new list based on that List Template on your new Site Collection
  2. In the new list update the calculated formula of a column
  3. Now save that list as a template.
  4. Hence you will contain the latest list template which will contain the new calculated formula on a column.
