In this blog post, I am going to add and remove site columns in existing site content type.<\/p>\n

Content types empower you to arrange, oversee, and handle content reliably across your sites. To view all content types used in the site collection.
\nOpen SharePoint site
\nNavigate to site settings ->Under Web designer galleries -> Click Site content type or navigate to this url “<Site Url>+ \/_layouts\/15\/mngctype.aspx”<\/p>\n

We can view all site contents type. To view details of the content type just click on the content type.<\/p>\n

In this example, I am going to add and remove site columns used in Custom Content Types.
\nHere in this content type, there are two site columns Title, Contact is present. Through our code, we will remove the Contact site column and add a new site column to this content type.<\/p>\n

The script as follows:-<\/p>\n

[code lang=”c”]<\/p>\n

using System;
\nusing System.Collections.Generic;
\nusing System.Linq;
\nusing System.Text;
\nusing System.Threading.Tasks;
\nusing Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
\nusing System.Security;
\nusing System.IO;<\/p>\n

namespace AddandRemoveFieldsFromCtype
\n{
\nclass Program
\n{
\nstatic void Main(string[] args)
\n{
\nClientContext ctx = new ClientContext(“http:\/\/portal\/sites\/site1”);
\nWeb web = ctx.Web;
\nvar password = “Password”;
\nSecureString secureString = new SecureString();
\nforeach (char c in password.ToCharArray()) secureString.AppendChar(c);<\/p>\n

ctx.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(“user@domain.com”, secureString);
\nContentTypeCollection ctypecoll = web.ContentTypes;
\nctx.Load(ctypecoll);
\nctx.ExecuteQuery();
\nField fieldToAdd = web.Fields.GetByTitle(“City”);<\/p>\n

foreach (ContentType ctype in ctypecoll)
\n{
\nif (ctype.Name == “docCtype”)
\n{
\nFieldLinkCreationInformation fieldLinksCreation = new FieldLinkCreationInformation();
\nfieldLinksCreation.Field = fieldToAdd;
\nctype.FieldLinks.Add(fieldLinksCreation);
\nctype.Update(true); \/\/ adding site columns to content type
\nweb.Update();<\/p>\n

Field fieldToRemove = ctype.Fields.GetByTitle(“Contact”);
\nctx.Load(fieldToRemove);
\nctx.ExecuteQuery();
\nvar fieldToRemoveId = fieldToRemove.Id;
\nFieldLinkCollection fieldLinkCollection = ctype.FieldLinks;
\nctx.Load(fieldLinkCollection);
\nctx.ExecuteQuery();
\nforeach (FieldLink fieldLink in fieldLinkCollection)
\n{
\nvar fieldLinkId = fieldLink.Id;
\nif (fieldToRemoveId == fieldLinkId)
\n{
\nfieldLink.DeleteObject();
\nctype.Update(false); \/\/ removing site columns from content type
\nweb.Update();
\n}<\/p>\n

}<\/p>\n

ctx.ExecuteQuery();<\/p>\n

}
\n}
\n}
\n}
\n}<\/p>\n

[\/code]<\/p>\n

After code executed successfully you can manually navigate to that custom content type, you can find the existing site column is removed and new site columns is added to the content type.<\/p>\n
