To Add/Remove/Manage columns in sharepoint designer(SPD), first open up the site in SPD then open up the view’s aspx file. In design mode, right click on the DataFormWebPart and select “convert to XLST data view”.
Now you should have a “Common data view tasks” popup, if not, just click on the arrow to the right. You could then select “edit columns”. Now you will be able to add/remove/manage columns in SPD! Save the file when you done and your sharepoint site will be automatically updated with the new columns.
Correct me if I’m worng… This solution seems to add/remove existing colums to the view but does not allow to edit the list’s columns.
One problem I’ve encountered when converting to xslt data view is that any lookup columns become text columns…
Any workaround. Please let me know.
thx
