I have numerous Sites within a site collection that have only 1 view and its the All Items View. This stems from me uploading a spreadsheet with column layouts pre set, which seems to create a default all items view selecting all columns. I have
over 200 columns in these spreadsheets and growing. The problem is that whenever I want to make a new view that only requires a handful of selected columns I need to unselect several hundred columns. One I have at least 1 view with a smaller subset
of columns selected I can use that as my base but that first view setup is a pain because there is no 'Unselect All Columns Option' Is there an easy way to Unselect all columns when creating a new view?
Also, I just read about creating a List template and using that as the basis for my new List. Maybe the way to do this is to upload the spreadsheet and create that smaller view and then when I create a new list, use the list template and I will
get that view. Then I would just maintain that template going forward?
I would still like a way to clear all selections. Probably code.. but that's fine. If there are code examples to get this accomplished, I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide.
Thx,
Joe
