I want to Differentiate between User defined columns and default columns for a given list in SharePoint online using CSOM (using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client) . I searched alot but no luck. Anyone please suggest how to meet the above requirement or any workarounds.

Thanks in Advance.

  • Could you interrogate the content type of the list as that should give you the 'default' columns? Obviously, a list with multiple content types will complicate things. – Greg W Mar 01 '17 at 08:35

One way I can think of is by reading the GROUP of the column if you have a clear separation of custom columns and OOB columns in different groups. Read the group of a column and match it with OOB groups.
