SharePoint 2010 Upgrade: One or more field types are not installed properly.

Whilst working on a recently upgraded SharePoint 2010 site (database attach upgrade) I attempted to modify an existing web part. As soon as the page went into edit mode I was presented with the following SharePoint error: “One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields.”

This appears to be a random bug which seems to occur with some sites after they have been upgraded and is related to a list called ‘Relationships List’.

To fix this de-activate the SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure Feature in the sites settings, delete the Relationships List and re-activate the feature.

  1. In my instance this is on the root site and there is no option to delete the list as you would normally see. Am I missing a step in deleting the list?

  2. Realize this is an older post, however, others may still have same issue.

    There may be a simpler solution. Following the upgrade, SharePoint may have tried to reinstall the SharePoint Solution and gotten hung-up.

    Try going to Central Administration –> System Settings –> Manage Farm Solutions.

    Cancel the deployment. Then Redeploy the solution.

    This cleared-up the issues for me.
