Add the RootWebOnly="true" property to your custom list. The Feature with the Custom List must be scoped to Site.

<ListInstance Title="My custom list"
            FeatureId="00BFEA71-DE22-43B2-A848-C05709900100"
            TemplateType="100"
            Id="MyCustomList"
            Description="Simple custom list sample."
            Url="Lists/MyCustomList"
            OnQuickLaunch="true"
            RootWebOnly="true" />

  • Should I scope this feature to web or site collection level?

  • By default I can see that it is scoped at web level. Why site ? can you tell me.

  • Can you also tell me whether the above code needs (ROOTWEBONLY) to go in the elements.xml file of the list or the list instance?

    I guess then it will no longer be customizable. Anyways I did the change on the listnameinstance->elements.xml and it worked.
