Re: Relinking documents after promoting new fields is not working

Thanks for the reply but actully what i did was just reduced the size of text written in the form. Now we did this earlier also in SP2007 but never faced any issue in relinking. We are workin on 2 projects n both showed the same problem after upgradation. When we just open the form and cancel its openning it gets relinked and all the fields become visible now. We cant do this for 5500 forms. If u r online pls add me on rarjobs@gmail.com for chat. thanks

The issue is that the fields you added are not actually present in the current XML. The XML have to be opened with the new template for the new fields to be added via the versioning behavior.

Relink doesn't resave. For the promo props to show you need to resave. If you have >100 you can download and install DBXL and use it with the Doc Migration tool to do the resave of all the forms and then delete DBXL. :)

Relinking documents after promoting new fields is not working

I don't know if this question should be asked in a SharePoint forum but I created a few new fields on an existing InfoPath 2007 template and promoted them. I used the relink documents from the view menu of form libraray , selected forms to relink then clicked "relink selected docuements" and no change was made. It appears I still have to manually update each form individually to populate the new form fields.

Is this normal behavior?
