R – Hide inherited fields in new content types

content-typesharepoint

I am trying to hide PercentComplete (% Complete) field in my custom content type that inherits from Workflow Task content type. And I am trying to do this with a feature. I am using the ID of PercentComplete field in FieldRefs element and setting ShowInDisplayForm to FALSE to no avail.

Do I have to use a feature receiver and do it programmatically?

Did you try to set Hidden=TRUE in the FieldRef (see full reference here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa543225.aspx) ShowInDisplayForm adds the percentage field, but hides it in (only) one of the forms.

R – Sharepoint List Definition that binds only to the Custom Content Type

You will have to edit the Schema.xml for your custom list. Find the <ContentTypes> tag and remove any you do not wish to be shown.

Your list definition will have a guid (eg. <Elements Id="0a8594c8-5cf1-492e-88ce-df943830c88c") that will specify the list from the schema xml (e.g.<List Name="... ...Id="0a8594c8-5cf1-492e-88ce-df943830c88c">)

I am not sure what the implementation is for, usually there is a feature.xml to combine the previous xml files together (e.g.<ElementManifests><ElementManifest Location="MyFeature\ListDefinition.xml" /><ElementFile Location="MyFeature\schema.xml" />)
