Custom Script Disable Functionality in SharePoint

In this blog, I am going to show you the importance of Custom Script functionality.

Introduction 

 

If your Custom Script is Off, then you will lose some features which you generally use in SharePoint, i.e:

• Save Site as Template will be disabled. The option to create a Template from a site will be invisible from Site Settings.
• SharePoint Designer - Pages that are not HTML can no longer be updated. Handling List: Create Form and Custom Action will no longer work. Subsites: New Subsite and Delete Site redirect to the Site Settings page in the browser. Data Sources: Properties button is no longer available.
• Save document library as the template will be disabled & you won’t find the option to save document library as template in Document Library Settings.
• Solution Gallery will be invisible from Site Settings.
• Theme Gallery will disappear from Site Settings.
• Help Settings will be invisible from Site Settings.
• HTML Field Security No longer available in Library Settings.
• Solutions Gallery is no longer available in Site Settings.
• Uploading files that potentially include script The following file types can can not be uploaded to a library:
  
  
• .asmx
• .ascx
• .aspx
• .htc
• .jar
• .master
• .swf
