Issue editing library properties with versioning

Hi,

I am currently using SharePoint 2013. I have a document library which requires versioning. I recently added a new column for name, but when I click on Quick Edit and attempt to add the name I get the error that the document must be checked out.

If I check out the document and attempt to add the name, the name disapperars and the name box is greyed out. I am unalble to check in the document and retain the name that was added.

I have reviewed multiple threads and tried the following:

  1. Tried in another browser

  2. Created another view and standard view

  3. Made sure grouping was off.

Some documents allow the change to be made, while others just will not update.

Hi @ChristieBayne-2487 ,

I could reproduce this scenario on my end. I would suggest checking out the document before clicking Quick Edit. As per my test, everything worked normally then.

Also, you can disable "Require Check Out" in Versioning settings if you don't need this feature. So that you will not have to check out the document while using Quick Edit.

I am not able to turn off versioning. Doing so results in all versions being incremented by 1.0 for any documents that were edited while checked out. I am unable to share a screenshot since this is on my work laptop and private information.

If I check out I can add the name, but as soon as I check it back in the name disappears and the name field is grayed out.

It's strange because I am able to add the name on some documents, but not others. I just tried it again today and when I enter the name it stays for 5 seconds then disappears.

I have also discovered that this issue only seems to occur for major versions, not minor versions.

@ChristieBayne-2487 ,

Does your library view exceed 5000 threshold? Could you find any errors in ULS Logs?
