Set Content Type on SharePoint

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by RM-30040732-0 545
Hello!
 
Is it possible to set a Content Type when adding an item to SharePoint?
 
I have various Content Types set up but the data is added to SharePoint via MS Form responses so it always picks the first Content Type in the list.  Although I can change this easily when I open a line item, I wonder if I can set the Content Type when I add the item to the list to save a bit of manual manipulation?
 
TIA!

    Hello,
     
    in many cases you can set the field "Content-Type" or "Content-TypeID under "Advanced" in your create item step.
