Hi All,
Can I confirm my understanding of the correct use of Content Types across multiple site collections? My understanding is that the moment you create a content type that inherits from one of the base SharePoint content types (say Content Type A), via the user interface, a Content Type ID is created which is a concatenation of the parent Content Type ID and a GUID. Now if you create an attribute / column equivalent content type in another site collection, it will acquire a different Content Type ID. If you then create a further content type that inherits from Content Type A in one of the site collections, my understanding is that these "child" content types will not be deployable to the other site collection, even as features, because they won't recognise the "other version" of Content Type A as a valid parent. Is this correct, or will it "link up" correctly? I assume best practice would suggest creating all Content Types once and once only and distributing them as features to all of the Site Collections that need them. Is this the best approach?
