How to reset DisplayName to empty using Sitecore PowerShell Extensions?

Question

I wanted to know better way to reset Display Name to empty using PowerShell scripts.

I have written below script..

$item = Get-Item "/sitecore/content/home"
$item.Editing.BeginEdit()
$item["{B5E02AD9-D56F-4C41-A065-A133DB87BDEB}"] = ""
$item.Editing.EndEdit()

which works but I'm not sure its the correct way or not.

I also tried something like $item[Sitecore::FieldIDs::DisplayName] = "" which doesn't work ..

Please help.

Answer 1

You can use this to set it to empty. With this you don't need to wrap the change with BeginEdit and EndEdit

$item."__Display Name" = "" 

You only need the quotes here as there is a space in the name, a field without a space can be accessed like so: $item.MyField

If you actually want to reset the field value, rather than explicitly set it as empty, use:

Reset-ItemField -Item $item -IncludeStandardFields -Name "__Display Name"

Answer 2

Try this:

Reset-ItemField -Item $item -Name "__Display Name" -IncludeStandardFields

source: Reset-ItemField docs

Answer 3

This should do the trick:

Get-Item "master:/sitecore/content/home" | Reset-ItemField -IncludeStandardFields -Name "__Display Name"

See reference here. The IncludeStandardFields is needed as this field is a Sitecore standard field.
