Question
In SharePoint 2013 List A, I want to refresh value of column A of all items, but I don't want to make new item version when I do refreshing/update.
Column A is calculated column and it is calculating difference in time between Now() and some other date column. So it would display correct value only if user manually edit item.
I found PowerShell script that updates column A, but it will leave new item version, any chance to suggest me how can I modify it so Items won't be updated?
$web = Get-SPWeb http://Server/ListLocation
$list = $web.Lists["ListA"]
foreach ($item in $list.Items)
{
$item.Update();
}
La solution
Try below code:
$web = Get-SPWeb http://Server/ListLocation
$list = $web.Lists["ListA"]
foreach ($item in $list.Items)
{
$item.UpdateOverwriteVersion();
}
Reference - UpdateOverwriteVersion
You can also use:
item.SystemUpdate();
difference -
UpdateOverwriteVersion() - updates the list item without creating a new version, but the Modified
and Modified By
fields are also updated.
SystemUpdate() - updates the list item without creating a new version,also the fields Modified
and Modified By
are not updated.
