Hi,

I was getting the following error while trying to edit properties of a document in the document library in SharePoint 2013.

As suggested restarted SharePoint Search Host Controller service. Stopped few services to release some memory. Nothing helped.

Finally followed these steps

  • Create a new Document Library accepting all defaults
  • Add a document to the library
  • Edit the properties of the document and save.
    RESULT: The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again.
  • Enable ‘Manage content types’ in the library setting.
  • Add the ‘Link to a document’ content type.
  • Edit the properties of the document and save.
  • RESULT: Fixed

We can dynamically set the value of the parameter k through JavaScript in the onload of a particular entity’s form to display the corresponding results in the CRM.

The installation of the package failed error while installing SharePoint Designer 2013


Hi,

After downloading the SharePoint Designer 2013 installer on my lab machine and trying to run it I was getting the below error

Right clicking on it and selecting properties showed that it had the Digital Signatures tab missing in it.

Then downloaded the exe on my other machine, and it had the Digital Signatures tab.

Using this new exe on the lab machine I was able to install the Designer.

Hope it helps.
