UPDATE 12/04/07: Kuona hii Microsoft KB (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923589) kwa habari kuhusiana.

Kweli, zinageuka ni, lakini tricksy MOSS alikuwa na kufanya ni vigumu.

My customer does some development work on his MOSS site over the weekend. It’s a bit of a jumble as to what he actually did, lakini matokeo ya mwisho ni hii:

• He tries to add a site column called "Quantity" na MOSS majibu: "The column name that you entered is already in use or reserved. Choose another name."
• He attempts to add it to another environment and that works. Kwa hiyo, "Quantity" si jina zimehifadhiwa.
• He tries to find an existing site column named "Quantity" in that site collection. He cannot find it.

Mimi alifanya baadhi ya utafiti, and even some coding, akaongezeka falsafa na hatimaye kupatikana kwamba safu aitwaye Kiasi gani, kwa kweli, exist. It was in the "_Hidden" group. Hence, sisi hakuweza kupata hiyo kupitia interface user SharePoint.

Jinsi gani kufika huko? I do not know, lakini nina nadharia (au kama mke wangu bila kuiita, "blah blah blah"). Mahali fulani kwenye mstari, a Fabulous arobaini template was added and probably activated at a site in the site collection. It was then deactivated (au tovuti kuondolewa). The site column, hata hivyo, remained but in the "_Hidden" group. If someone knows better, tafadhali napenda kujua kupitia email au baada ya maoni katika.

SharePoint was telling the truth. It’s hardly worth pointing out that that message is not as helpful as it could be. It would be nice to see that message fork into two different messages in the future: 1) Kusema kwamba jina safu ni akiba au sio. 2) Kama siyo zimehifadhiwa, kuonyesha tovuti, au angalau kundi, ambapo jina safu tayari kutumika.
