RE: Filter certain fields from available field types
Can you not use groups to group the ones that are ok to change and ones that aren't? I am afraid there aren't many pointers in an SPField to tell you if you should edit its properties or not.

Re: Filter certain fields from available field types
Hi James, The problem is that I was going to allow Hidden as an option. If I filter on this then there's no way to unhide fields. :) I've removed the Hidden and Sealed options for safety but my IF statement is rather unwieldy and still returns a lot of volatile fields. I was hoping there might be a common property for the fields which, if modified, could trash the list or site. :\ Regards, Paul On 22 November 2012 14:09, James Boman james.bo...@ipmo.com.au wrote: Paul, Perhaps you could just display fields where Hidden = False? That narrows the number of fields down considerably.

Re: Filter certain fields from available field types
Hi Ishai, Yes that was my next step. Create a content type and only return those fields.
