Hi Rob,

There are some bugs in the content type publish code that may be fixed. Can you verify that all cumulative updates have been applied?

You also might try publishing it to a separate site.

"Updating the content type has failed" - standard solutions not working

troubleshanks — Mon, 14 Jul 2014 15:40:29 GMT

Good day,

I have an enterprise scale application that:

Form has a SQL Data Connection
Form calls UserProfile webservice
Form calls web service to get user group information (the web service name escapes me at the moment)

Data is delivered to a SharePoint form library
Several workflows handle different events when the occur
Several columns are promoted for use in the library list
Several views are created to handle the list and show information in different ways
This design is primarily no-code

Starting a few weeks ago, I began getting the message that "Updating the content type failed" during submission of the form from InfoPath 2010

I have ruled out

Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown
Object reference not set to an instance of an object

I have iterated through the fields both in the list and in the form, nothing seems out of place

Thanks for your help!
