Categorized SharePoint Discussion - default category to parents category on reply.
- by Greg Ogle
I have a Discussion Board in a SharePoint site which has an additional column named Category. When a new discussion is created, it prompts for Category, and of course this is by design.
The problem is that when the discussion is replied to, it prompts for the category again.
How can I separate the reply functionality so that the Category is not prompted and the Category is set to that of the discussion under which it resides?
I attempted to edit a copy of NewForm.aspx in SharePoint Designer, but you can only edit which WebPart it is using, not which fields are displayed.
