Mavention Make lookup column

In this blog I will explain how to apply a lookup column using a Mavention Make template.

Considerations:

• Before the lookup column can be created, the list where the lookup column refers to should allready exist.

Example

In the example below I will create a lookup column on sitecollection level and list level. Because I can’t create a lookup column that refers to a list that doesn’t exist, I have to create this list first. I will use multiple site XML nodes to control the timing when the SharePoint objects are created.
