Ok so got another stumped scenario. I have checked the web but its not making sense.
On a SP 2007 site (MOSS2007), the settings of a document library were changed. Now when you try and upload multiple documents to a specific document library, it shows the files as checked out. This was not occurring before. The library settings (versioning settings are set to Yes to check out before editing). I have setup a test site and when enabling this Versioning setting, it does NOT keep it checked out when uploading multiple docs. Also, content types are not enabled in this instance.
I’ve narrowed it down to a required field association when uploading the document, one document at a time. It sees the filename as a required field. Not sure how this became a required field. I would assume a filename is always required. When I go to the Library Settings, I am unable to see the “file name” collumn to edit it.
I’ll take any suggestions on this one.
