I had a SharePoint solution which is working perfectly in SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010.

The solution contained Site Columns that were created using CAML (XML Files). Further I created a solution that just contained Site Columns element.xml.

The solution gets deployed perfectly in SharePoint 2010 and works. But when I deploy it onto SharePoint 2013, I don't see any site columns in the gallery.

Wanted to know if someone has already experienced this issue. I will get the exact error message later onto this question (i dont have it right now).

  • Provisioning site columns from caml XML works like a charm for me in 2013 Commented May 9, 2013 at 6:47
  • Robert, then it might have somethign to do with my elements.xml, let me look onto detailed error and see if i find something.. Commented May 13, 2013 at 14:58
  • Robert, I found something interesting in danlarson.com/… "Custom columns need to be re-deployed to the 15 folder structure. Features that add custom columns will activate without error, but the custom columns will not be accessible, and the feature may fail to de-activate and re-activate. SharePoint requires columns to be deployed to the 15 structure in order to be used by code and to show up in the Site Columns dialog." Commented May 16, 2013 at 3:46
  • Interesting, so it is mainly the fact that you use an older solution and I a new one that makes it work or not work Commented May 16, 2013 at 5:05
  • Yups, got to know today :) Commented May 16, 2013 at 5:06

Hi I found solution to this, setting the package version to 15.0 started putting the site columns file in 15\Hive folder.

Such an easy job :)
