I am trying to create a custom field type in SharePoint.
My custom field type has a custom property called CustomProperty.

<FieldTypes>
  <FieldType>
    <Field Name="TypeName">CustomField</Field>
    <Field Name="InternalType">CustomField</Field>
    ..............................
    ..............................
    <PropertySchema>
      <Fields>
        <Field Name="CustomProperty" DisplayName="CustomProperty" Type="Text" Hidden="TRUE" />
      </Fields>
      <RenderPattern Name="DisplayPattern">
      <Property Select="CustomProperty" />
    </RenderPattern>
  </FieldType>
</FieldTypes>

I am trying to render the value of this custom property in the DisplayPattern.

But it looks like the CAML is not able to reference the custom properties.

I am not getting any value for the CustomValue property even though it is set correctly.

Any idea how to refer custom properties in CAML?

    Unfortunately there is no straightforward way of achieving this, from what I’ve seen.

    Your best option is to look at using this.GetCustomProperty(“CustomProperty”) within the overrided GetFieldValue function (or GetFieldValueAsHtml for a Note field).

    The value string passed into the GetFieldValue function is the output from your CAML, so you can append to it and pass it on out.
