    how to retain document properties (column values) when update the document

    Reply Quote

    we have a sharepoint site with document and list library. for documents, we add some extra columns to store some customized properties for web part usage.

    the problem: when user update the documents, by upload, or drag and drop, the new file will replace the old file, and all previously defined column properties are gone.

    we thought it should be a default behavior that the properties should be retained. but obviously it is not.

    Any advice ?
