Hi. I have attempted to search for this answer but have not come across anything.
We have an existing infopath form tied to a content type in a document library. We recently made changes (added fields) to the template and we published and relinked all existing documents to the new template. When we open an existing form, it opens with the right template but we encounter an immediate validation error where all numeric and date fields are highlighted in red even though they are blank (first time we open the record with the new template). Because of these validation errors, unless we put something into the field, we are unable to save any changes to the form.
We know that new fields are not automatically added to the xml upon relinking and the form needs to be opened and saved in order to have the new fields added, however, because of these validation errors, we are unable to do so.
Am I missing a step here or is there something that we did incorrectly?
Thanks.
