\n‘from the available content types<\/em>‘
\nBesides that the functionality isn’t available in the UI, the functionality seems a little bit odd, especially when multiple content types are available in the document set. Why share fields at the level of ‘available content types’?
\nIt seems more plausible to me to make a shared field available at document set level like the UI suggests and explains:<\/p>\n
\nIn my case I had a field at document set level<\/em> which I wanted to add to the shared fields collection.<\/p>\n\r\n$fieldName = "MyText" # field name at document set level\r\n$ctName = "MyDocSet" # document set name\r\n\r\n$ctx = Get-SPOContext\r\n$docset = Get-SPODocumentSetTemplate -Identity $ctName\r\n\r\n$field = $ctx.Web.Fields.GetByInternalNameOrTitle($fieldName)\r\n$ctx.Load($field)\r\n\r\nif($field)\r\n{\r\n $docset.SharedFields.Add($field)\r\n $docset.Update($true)\r\n Execute-SPOQuery\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n![\"DocSet_MyDocSet\"](\"https:\/\/www.itidea.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DocSet_MyDocSet1.png\")
