"Copy Source" (internal name is "_CopySource") field contains the URL of the source document. SharePoint sets this out of the box when moving a file through the UI, though it is settable programmatically too.

  • Thanks for your reply. So this is only populated when moving/copying a file?

  • Yes, to the best of my knowledge. The column is just a derivation.
