Introduction<\/h2>\n
Recently we had a requirement from a client, they wanted to remove the GUID appended to the folder name.<\/p>\n
There is a hidden way to achieve this. It is stored in an OrganizationSettings, though they have not exposed a way on a UI to update this, however, this can be done programmatically.<\/p>\n
Please follow this blog to understand the approach.<\/p>\n
Default structure of SharePoint folder name (PrimaryFieldName_RecordGUID)<\/p>\n
\"remove<\/a><\/p>\n
To change the default behavior of the folder name we need to update CreateSPFoldersUsingNameandGuid<\/strong> property of organization<\/strong> to false<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Kindly follow the below steps to do that:<\/p>\n
Below is the code snippet which I have tried from console application(c#) (if you want you can try with plugin\/custom assembly as well) –<\/p>\n
Entity orgEntity = new Entity(\"organization\");\r\n\r\norgEntity.Id = new Guid(\u201c46f31389-4d7d-43d7-b347-fae0d47f8b7f\");\r\n\r\norgEntity[\"orgdborgsettings\"] = \"<OrgSettings><CreateSPFoldersUsingNameandGuid>false<\/CreateSPFoldersUsingNameandGuid><\/OrgSettings>\u201d;\r\n\r\n_crmhandler.UpdateRecord(orgEntity);\r\n<\/pre>\n
To get the organization ID, refer to below screenshot \u2013<\/p>\n
\"remove<\/a><\/p>\n
Now when SharePoint folder will be created then it will contain only name not GUID.<\/p>\n
\"remove<\/a><\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n
We can easily get rid of GUIDs in SharePoint folder name by changing Org setting.<\/p>\n
