Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-1203:
-----------------------------------------
[~ddreiske] So, looking deeper, *some* internal fields definitely show up here.
"ID" and "GUID" are examples. It's possible, although unlikely, that there
are other existing internal fields that are *not* showing up. I don't know
what the cause for that would be, but there are only three possibilities:
(1) SharePoint always treats certain always-present specific fields very
specially and does not include them in its field list response ever, for that
reason, OR
(2) There is no such field for that particular data type, OR
(3) The database has the field, but for some reason SharePoint is unaware of it.
I'm afraid that you will need to do some research to figure out which of these
cases is actually true. If you can look at the table schema that would tell
you a lot.
Once you figure out what the truth is, I can propose a solution (well, except
for the case where the data doesn't even exist)...
> Erratic handling of Sharepoint 2010 _ModerationStatus metadata

> Key: CONNECTORS-1203
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1203
> Project: ManifoldCF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SharePoint connector
> Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 1.7.2
> Reporter: Dale Dreiske
> Assignee: Karl Wright
> Fix For: ManifoldCF 1.10, ManifoldCF 2.2

> Attachments: CONNECTORS-1203.patch, debug.log, debug7.log

> The ManifoldCF Sharepoint 2010 connector handles the Approval Status metadata
> inconsistently. In some cases it does not provide access to Approval Status
> at all.
> On /mcf-crawler-ui/execute.jsp#metapathwidget :
> * The field name appears in the drop down list as "Approval Status" when
> adding a new rule.
> * The field name is NOT available in the drop down list for top level sites.
> * The field name is listed as "_ModerationStatus" for existing rules.
> With connector debug turned on, the ManifoldCF logs show the field coming
> from Sharepoint as "ows__ModerationStatus". This is consistent across all
> pages, even when the the field is not added to the metadata rules.
> When sent to Solr, it appears in one of these 4 forms:
> * "ows__ModerationStatus"
> * "_ModerationStatus"
> * "_moderationstatus"
> * In some cases it does not get passed at all.
> This issue is most troublesome when this field is not displayed for creating
> new metadata rules. It appears it is only available when creating rules for
> pages in low level sites. Example paths:
> * /abc - does not work for top level sharepoint sites
> * /abc/xyz - works but passes name inconsistently;
