    Possible Problems when updating published template

    Hi all,

     I am currently working on a project, which is already running productive. I have some questions which I think maybe helpfull to other users as well

    1. The form is already published. But new requirements rise every day, so I the template is being updated/changed almost every week. In the form options I have selected "update forms automatically", which should update all the existing forms in the library. Up to know I am pleased with the result but I see there are a lot of issues related to this topic. 

    2. From experience I know that when the template is changed, fields should not change names, nor should be deleted or moved within the schema. I know also that adding field, formatting and altering rules is not a problem, and all the existing forms are updated. What about adding a field whithin a repeating table? Would it be ok as well? My opinion is yes but I hope someone else can back me up.

    3. When archiving ( i mean simply taking the forms down form the SP library to a the network driver) and a change on the template has taken place. And I need later to open some archived field, will it be able to open (pointing to the right location, but the form is not the same version)?

     

    I will be very glad if someone shares his knowledge about this questions.

    Regards,

    Slav

    1)well update forms automatically will update the forms automatically no need to worry about that.

    2)well adding a field inside a repeating table is ok as well.

    3) when you open the archieved form it will refer to the latest template
