    <h2>Setup</h2> <p>I am programmatically adding elements to a custom list with custom columns from C# code:</p> <pre><code>// Get the list var context = SPContext.Current; var web = context.Site.RootWeb; web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true; var favoritesList = web.Lists["Favoritter"]; // Check if new item already exists var query = new SPQuery { Query = string.Format( "&lt;Where&gt;" + "&lt;And&gt;" + "&lt;Eq&gt;&lt;FieldRef Name='Brugernavn'/&gt;&lt;Value Type='Text'&gt;{0}&lt;/Value&gt;&lt;/Eq&gt;" + "&lt;And&gt;" + "&lt;Eq&gt;&lt;FieldRef Name='Fagomr_x00e5_de'/&gt;&lt;Value Type='Text'&gt;{1}&lt;/Value&gt;&lt;/Eq&gt;" + "&lt;Eq&gt;&lt;FieldRef Name='N_x00f8_gletalsnummer'/&gt;&lt;Value Type='Text'&gt;{2}&lt;/Value&gt;&lt;/Eq&gt;" + "&lt;/And&gt;" + "&lt;/And&gt;" + "&lt;/Where&gt;", GetUserName(false), omraade, noegletalsId) }; var items = favoritesList.GetItems(query); if (items.Count &gt; 0) return false; // Otherwise add the new item var favorite = favoritesList.Items.Add(); favorite["Brugernavn"] = GetUserName(false); favorite["Fagomr_x00e5_de"] = omraade; favorite["N_x00f8_gletalsnummer"] = noegletalsId; favorite.Update(); // &lt;--- THIS LINE THROWS EXCEPTION web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false; return true; </code></pre> <h2>The problem</h2> <p>When I perform the <code>Update()</code> command on the new item the following exception is thrown:</p> <pre><code>Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Invalid URL value. A URL field contains invalid data. Please check the value and try again </code></pre> <h2>Additional information</h2> <p>The three custom columns I have made are all of type <code>SPFieldText</code> and thus have <em>nothing</em> to do with URLs.</p> <p>I have also hidden the default Title field using PowerShell:</p> <pre><code>$titleField = $favoritesList.Fields.GetField("Title") $titleField.LinkToItem = $false $titleField.Required = $false $titleField.Hidden = $true $titleField.Update() </code></pre> <p>The XML schema for list can be found <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/dg439upzym6cu09/Schema.xml" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
