RE: SP2010 - Publish InfoPath form to existing Content Type
Not sure you can do this with a list, but you can do this using a Forms Library. Publish the form template to Central Admin. This will create a content type that you can then use in the forms libraries at each of the subsites. When you republish the form template, it will get pushed out to the relevant libraries. Trying to retrofit this to an existing set of lists sounds scary. Long live InfoPath!

Re: SP2010 - Publish InfoPath form to existing Content Type
Yeah, unfortunately the lists have a number of items under a different CT, so if I use a form library I would need to convert the existing items over to the new CT - not something I really want to bother with. I guess I am going to be manually creating the infopath form for each individual list *sigh* and then doing any future changes the same way *deeper sigh* Thanks guys Sent from my iPhone On 20 Mar 2014, at 5:28 pm, Ivan Wilson iv...@sharepointgurus.net wrote: Not sure you can do this with a list, but you can do this using a Forms Library.

RE: SP2010 - Publish InfoPath form to existing Content Type
Have lessened the pain by manually editing the XSF and changing the URL, ListID and ContentType ID, which then lets me deploy the new form to the new location Is there a replacement in 2013 ? And I don't mean a third-party product like Nintex Forms or whatever - I think its pretty poor of Microsoft to leave expected functionality gaps in SharePoint to be filled by third-party products. It makes it pretty hard to defend the licensing costs etc. of the product to management when you then have to turn around and license products for stuff like RBS, forms, workflow etc. From: p.no...@keller.com.au To: ozmoss@ozmoss.com Subject: RE: SP2010 - Publish InfoPath form to existing Content Type Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2014 23:50:00 + Or tell them it’s a dead product and rebuild it in 2013.

RE: SP2010 - Publish InfoPath form to existing Content Type
Hi Nigel, In short, no. I spent months developing a custom solution that used InfoPath and Reporting Services in 2010, only to see one being discontinued, and the other losing its design surface in Visual Studio. This is one of the reasons I now insist on doing everything OOTB wherever possible, or via very well managed solutions. In SP2013 you would use Display Templates and the CSOM to recreate your requirements. There are also some pretty nifty scripts and classes out there for visually building custom forms and interacting with web services. The main problem I have with client-side scripting options is that (a) they're incredibly difficult to track because anyone can add them and; (b) they present the same upgrade and conflict issues with the over-abundance of JavaScript already being loaded by SharePoint.

RE: SP2010 - Publish InfoPath form to existing Content Type
I really don't think this is possible or advisable. If you need to make modifications to the existing form(s) then the safest way is to edit one of them and document the changes, then reapply the changes to all the other forms individually. :\ Bear in mind that InfoPath has also been discontinued.
