| OK, so today, a Friday no less, I had a mini-disaster that was luckily averted. I published an update to my form template and for some reason this time upon publish I found that my promoted columns had been duplicated in the SharePoint library. This was not good. Luckily I was able to clean up this mess and the moral of the story is, just make sure you cross check the method by which columns were promoted in the previous version of your template, before you click that button. For me, the case was that I had published columns to the content type and for some reason when I went in to make my updates and publish, InfoPath decided to create new site columns for me. 
So, luckily I was able to open the manifest.xsn file and update the GUIDs using the ones from the previous version of the template. Here is a link with instructions on how to do this, if you should ever meet the same fate... Click Here to view a post by David Lozzi on this very issue. |
