I have custom list templates (stp) based on Generic List template. I have created several lists using stp files.

How can I identify from which list template (STP file) the List was created. The properties like BaseTemplate, BaseType, TemplateFeatureId are all returning Generic List template information and not the Custom List Template used.

You can't. If you save the stp-file, rename it to cab, opens the cab file and opens the manifest file inside you can see what you can see from the splist. An if it's a generic list, that has added fields. The only way I guess you can do it is to add some kind of information in the schema that will identify the template.

  • Thanks, short precise.. Can you give me a few options like what can I add to the Schema, and how programmatically can I identify using SPList object ? – Arsalan Adam Khatri Jan 16 '14 at 9:56
  • Not any "nice" solutions. But you could make a hidden view. – Burrhus Jan 16 '14 at 10:12
