Question
I created a new content type (Gav).
But only 3 content types are available via the ribbon
New Item>only 3x content types are available">
Where is the 4th one? Do I need to wait for the system to refresh perhaps?
- Of the 4 content types, one is made from the original list item content type.
- The other 3 content types were made at the site collection level, then added to the list.
Solution
In List Settings I could see all 4 content types (as you see in the 1st picture in the question).
- Via the ribbon>new item form>I chose
content type 1
(aka Charlie). - I copied the url to this form and pasted in to Notepad.
- In this url I found the ContentTypeID - I will replace this with the ID from
Content Type 4
. - To get the Content Type ID for the 4th content type: List Settings>content types>I clicked on
content type 4
(the one that does not show up via the Ribbon>New Item). While viewing this content type I copied the url and pasted it in to Notepad. - In Notepad I isolated the ContentTypeID from
content type 4
. - I began with the new item form url for
Content Type 1
. I substituted the unique Content Type ID. This makes a new item form forContent Type 4
. - On the List page, default view - I added a
new item link
forContent Type 4
. I can now use all 4 content types.
Content Type 4 is still not showing up in the ribbon - but I have made manual links to all 4 content types instead.
