Hi,
I have created a custom field type for SharePoint that represents hierachical data from and XML file (stored in SharePoint) in a TreeView.
I have created properties on the field to store the location of the source XML file and whether to render the TreeView as a multi-select, ie. with checkboxes.
I created the properties in the _fldtypes xml definition using the property schema elements as they are only simple textboxes and checkboxes. My problem is that these properties work ok to add the form and save, but when you try and edit the field, the values in the properties reset to <field description> value. ie. they are not what was set and they are not even the default!
This is supposed to be out of the box stuff according to the SDK, but does not seem to work. The SDK is pretty thin when it comes to this stuff. Does anyone have any ideas, or have this working?
Thanks.
Aaron.
