Reply Contact I’ve save a copy of the form from Content type 1 and opened in design mode, made the changes for content type 2 but when I click Publish I don’t get the wizard to choose which content type to load too. It just changes the content type 1. thanks, 02-14-2019 10:56 AM In reply to Hilary Stoupa Joined on 06-20-2008 Posts 13,297 Re: Reuse a form template on multiple content types on the same list. Mark as Not AnswerMark as Answer... Reply Contact So - you are going through the entire publish wizard and not just using quick publish? I'd think you would need to go to the File > Publish > SharePoint menu, and walk through publishing to be able to publish as a new content type. You can attach a screenshot under the Options tab if that helps explain the issue.

I'm sorry, it never occurred to me that you meant it was an actual list form - I don't think there is a way to have multiple InfoPath forms for the same list. I think you'd just have to create various views in your list form and give your users a way to select which "form" they want to fill out.

Reply Contact On another list, I have a different form for each contact type. I don’t remember having to create a form for each. I thought I built one and used it to create all the others. Thanks for your help. 02-14-2019 02:02 PM In reply to Hilary Stoupa Joined on 06-20-2008 Posts 13,297 Re: Reuse a form template on multiple content types on the same list. Mark as Not AnswerMark as Answer... Reply Contact I think if you save your list as a template, under the advanced settings, you can then create another list from that template - and customize the form for that list.... does that make sense?

Reply Contact That makes sense. I don't need another list. I'll just create a new form for each content type. I've attached a pic on how I do it. If you can think of a quicker way I would be very interested. Thanks for all your help. Page 1 of 1 (10 items) Copyright © 2003-2019 Qdabra Software. All rights reserved.View our Terms of Use.
