Runtime error with column default value settings (Network Steve Forum)

Runtime error with column default value settings

I have one SP2010 (enterprise) document library which gives me a runtime error if I click on "column default value settings" in the settings. Other document libraries' column default value settings are working fine. I use managed metadata and created libraries from templates. I deleted all custom columns from the site, only title is left over (content types are document and link to a document) but runtime error still shows up. How can I fix this?

Server Error in '/' Application.

Set the customErrors to Off for your web.config to see the full error

<customErrors mode="Off" />
...
<SafeMode MaxControls="200" CallStack="true"...

If its a large list with thousand of items then it may be caused by the list view threshold value

Also check your list view is not having more than 8 look-up columns to avoid threshold.

Or just look in the Application Event Log of the SharePoint WFE, where the full error will be present.

Thanks for your suggestions. I found the log but don't know what it means. Can anybody help?

It looks like it expects those managed metadata columns to be present. If you deploy the template without deleting the metadata column(s), does it work?
