Changes that you make to the "List View" Web Part are not retained after you save the site as a template in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

On This Page

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • You create a new list, such as a Custom List, on a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 site.
  • On the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 site that hosts the new list, you add a List View Web Part.
  • You edit the List View Web Part, and then you change the default view.
  • You click Site Actions, and then you click Site Settings.
  • On the Site Settings page, you click Save Site as template under Look and Feel.
In this scenario, when you try to use the template to create a new Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 site, the List View Web Part in the new site displays the default columns. Additionally, the changes that you make to the List View Web Part are not retained.

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.

I called Microsoft to obtain this hot fix and was told by the person handling that call that she could not find it. She looked over all of the SharePoint hot fixes and looked at all the hotfixes release on the date mentioned in the article. She then told me that I could start a ticket with a support engineer, which of course, isn't free. If anyone has any info on this hot fix I would apprectiate your help. Many Thanks!
