I just replied to another person about versioning strategies:</p> <ul> <li> <div> <div>Upgrade in place: this is the default</div></div></li> <ul> <li> <div> <div>Simple data source additions of 1 field should work fine</div></div></li> <li> <div> <div>Con: Big changes to your data source may not all insert into the old forms</div></div></li></ul> <li> <div>Side-by-side: publish separate versions as separate content types</div></li> <ul> <li> <div>You need to think about this before you upgrade since the form library needs to be converted to a content type</div></li> <li> <div>Con: Old forms open in old template - may not be desirable</div></li></ul> <li> <div>Batch migrate forms from old to new</div></li> <ul> <li> <div>Use an XSLT transform to map them</div></li> <li> <div>Con: XSLT transform can take some time to create</div></li></ul> <li> <div>Custom upgrade</div></li> <ul> <li> <div>Add code to upgrade when they open</div></li> <li> <div>Con: code required and needs to have separate conditions for separate older versions</div></li></ul></ul> <p>Bottom line: the easiest is to just make simple additions when you make your changes - those should always upgrade old forms if your Versioning settings are configured to default.</p>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/91537.aspxMon, 22 Jul 2013 14:11:15 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:91537luke200https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/91537.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=91537<p>I have a form template oublished to a form library and&nbsp;i often need to make changes to the form and republish- i need all existing forms in the library to use the new template, but theyre not updating for some reason? some changes i make to the form update in existing forms, but most changes i make dont.
