To resolve this issue, apply the following hotfix updates:
2536591 Description of the SharePoint Foundation 2010 hotfix package (sts-x-none.msp): June 30, 2011
2544019 Description of the SharePoint Server 2010 hotfix package(dlc-x-none.msp): June 28, 2011
After you apply these hotfix packages, set
SPList.ForceDefaultContentType to
True for the document library. To do this, use the following PowerShell command:
PS > $web = Get-SPWeb -Identity http://SPServer
PS > $list = $web.GetList("/Documents")
PS > $list.ForceDefaultContentType = $true
PS > $list.Update()
The hotfix packages add a new
ForceDefaultContentType property to the
SPList object. The default value for the property is
false, and the property can be only changed programmatically.
- If the ForceDefaultContentType property is set to false. You are prompted to select a content type for the file when you save the file that is created through Office 2010 client to a SharePoint document library. From a programmatic perspective, the Lists.GetListContentTypes web service returns a collection of all the content types in the SPList.ContentTypescollection.
- If the ForceDefaultContentType property is set to true, the file that is added as a new item is assigned the default content type for a list. Therefore, you are no longer prompted to select a content type. From a programmatic perspective, the Lists.GetListContentTypes web service returns only the first content type which is the default content type for the list in the SPList.ContentTypescollection.
