Problem adding a content Type to a new list

Question

I am using MOSS 2007 std and have a number of content types in my site collection, and am just trying to re-use them in a new list using the browser.

When I try to add one of my older content types to the new list I get the following error:

"The formula refers to a column that does not exist.  Check the formula for spelling mistakes or change the non-existing column to an existing column."

The other list that has that content type is working fine.

I was also able to add 3 newly created content types to this list without problems.

All the Site columns in the content type look OK. (They are a mixture of Required, Optional and hidden fields. No calculated fields).

Anyone have any idea what might have gone wrong?

Hi,

Are you using any calculate column? If yes then tell me that formula.

Answer 2

Aha, there is one Calculated field I had overlooked.

SLA Time to Completion

=[SLA Complete Date]-[SLA Create Date]      (both fields have just been selected from the fields list on the page)

Do I need to do an is null type check on this do you think?

Thanks

Answer 4

Well it was the Calculated field within my Content Type that was causing the problem. Hmm. Content Types seem to be OK with Text based calculated fields, but not date based ones (even based on Created date). Weird.
