Our issues were due to a field schema in the 12-hive changing underneath an existing list using that field schema. This doesn't seem to be the fault of using an abbreviated schema after all.

We're seeing problems with "Failed to cache schema".

See, e.g., http://manojsharepointfindings.blogspot.com/2010/02/failed-to-cache-schema-for-3.html

The comment that View 0 is used for schema caching, down near the bottom of the following article, seems relevant: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms438338%28v=office.12%29.aspx

Perry, thanks. I blame that on copy/ paste between Visual Studio and Bloger - it translated the namespace link and removed the quotes. Sorry about that - I will fix that attribute.

The posted code is wrong.

The List element at the top should not be immediately closed -- all the subsequent content should be within it.

The opening List element should merely end with ">", not with "/>".

It is a nice trick for a basic view but can you create a group by elements like the ones you create using the web interface??

Great Post wanna just to mention that you can makethe list section even simpler by replacing it by the following :
List xmlns:ows="Microsoft SharePoint" Title="Basic List" Type="11501" FolderCreation="FALSE" Direction="$Resources:Direction;" Url="Lists/Basic List" BaseType="0" DisableAttachments="TRUE"

SPM = Wouldn't leave home without it ;-)
+1 for WSPBuilder too ;-)

Also, have you seen the survey I've put together on how people work with SharePoint Dev?

@Jeremy:
Hmmm. I would make sure that the ContentType's FieldRef element also has the ShowInEditForm and ShowInNewForm attributes both set to true.

Theoretically the List's Field element should override the ContentType's FieldRef, but as with all things SharePoint it isn't entirely clear.... Best of luck. I'll have to check out SPSource.

Do you use Keutmann's excellent SPM by the way?

2009-04-23T01:26:00.000-05:00

Great find mate.

I've spent a lot of time on this stuff when writing the SPSource tool which reverse engineers a list much like Solution Generator does but a little smarter ...it doesn't use the RPC call technique.

I thought i'd ask you as you've found a cracker there!

Where do I have to look to ensure that the fields turn up in the New/Edit for. I konw there are attributes on the fields themselves in the schema.xml...but even forcing that there doesn't seem to do it! Where else needs to be set?

Thanks for the tip, Oskar. I wish I had found out about this about two months ago, when I could have used it! I'll have to remember to pass this on to the next person I know who runs into this issue.

i myself thought the article was a little behind the times... but, i guess it's good for somebody new to the whole concept of custom list templates.
