Using Multiple lines of text column in Libraries. Until now, we have seen and discussed the use of 'Multiple lines of text' column type in SharePoint List. Now, let’s talk about 'Multiple lines of text' column type in SharePoint. The configuration of this column in SharePoint lists and Libraries are different. Importing Multiple Lines of Text field from SharePoint list ‎ 06:18 AM. I have a process where my project teams fill out an InfoPath web form that then publishes their responses on the form into a SharePoint list. The list is a mix of numerical fields, single line text fields and multiple lines of text. I am using SharePoint 2010. I have a list with below columns: Column Name Data Type. 1) Description multiple lines of text. 2) Status Single line of text. Djay le for mac. I need to create a calculated column by concatenating these 2 columns. But when I try to create a calculated column, I am not able to see 'Description' column in the 'Insert Column' section. Programmatically creating columns (or fields) for a custom SharePoint list is fairly straight forward (Psuedo-code here): SPList.Fields.Add('Field Name', SPFieldType, Required); Creating a multiline text field column can also be fairly straight forward too (actual code here). Re: SharePoint list with 'Multiple lines of text' column not displaying entries It seems there are some issues with modern lists so best you can do here is to open a support ticket to report the problem.

Requirement: Trim, truncate, or otherwise modify the text from one SharePoint list field to make it appear in another.
Solution: Make the new field a calculated field and enter the formula, referencing the original field in [brackets].
Obstacle: Text functions in SharePoint list columns do not work properly on multiple line text columns.
The work-around here is to trick the new SharePoint list field into thinking it is operating on a single-line text field. While it is true that the text functions don’t work perfectly for multiple line text fields, they are adequate for simple tasks such as truncation. The issue is that SharePoint validates the calculated field when saving and throws an error if the function refers to a multiple line text field, preventing the save operation.
So how do you trick it?
1. Create Field1, single line text
2. Create Field2, calculated field, formula=RIGHT([Field1],LEN([Field1])-8)
(this gets rid of the html tag that will appear at the beginning as an artifact of operating on a multiple line text field)
3. Create Field3, calculated field, formula=LEFT([Field2],50) & “…”
(this will display the first 50 characters of the original field follows by the ellipse)
4. To prevent validation, do this from the site settings window

b. Create Field1, multi-line text

(they will still appear in the item view, but not in the edit window since they are calculated fields)
There you have it. Steps for tricking SharePoint into doing something it was designed to do, but prevented from by poor validation logic. Now how to we trick those MS Devs into removing that erroneous validation logic?
Enjoy.
