Subfiles and subfolders are modified when you rename the parent folder in the Windows SharePoint Services document library
Consider the following scenario. You create a folder in the Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services document library. Additionally, you create subfolders under the folder that you created. Then, multiple users upload some files to or create other folders under the Windows SharePoint Services document library that you created.
In this scenario, you find that the subfiles and the subfolders that are in the folder are modified when you try to rename the parent folder of the Windows SharePoint Services document library that you created. Specifically, you find the following modifications:
- The time that is in the Modified area is the time that the parent folder was renamed.
- The name that is in the Modified By area is changed to the person who renamed the parent folder.
This behavior is by design.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0
- Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003
Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
