Content type hub site: Rename of content types won't work, deletion doesn't seem to work either
So I decided to go to the default /sites/contenttypehub/ site and I created two content types a while ago. A few months ago, I deleted one of those content types. Today, I decided to rename one of them. To my surprise: The content type I deleted is still lurking around all of my sites, including newly created sites that I created after I deleted the content type from the hub site. The content type I renamed has been renamed at the hub site, but changes haven't been replicated to the other sites. Of course, I always publish the changes and push them from the hub site. This is how I got them pushed from the hub site to all other sites the first time. No idea what is going on here, though. Any thoughts? EDIT: I find out that the issue with the deleted content type coming back is that it was deleted before being unpublished. Well, seems like the SharePoint dev team should be taking https://www.edx.org/course/cs50s-introduction-to-computer-science from Harvard and learn how to code. When deleting, IF published, unpublish first, then delete. 🤦
Content Type Republish from Content Type Hub has removed custom columns added at team site level
Hi Based on the Microsoft resources available on how Content Type publishing and republishing interacts with team site level customisation, I'm seeing an unexpected effect. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-and-edit-content-types-3D5D45AF-608D-4183-8D51-073095FE0312#__toc239159103 "If the list content type has been customized with additional attributes that the parent content type does not have, such as extra columns, these customizations will not be overwritten" The column was created at team site level and added to the document library, with the option "Add to all content types" selected. Following a republish operation on the two content types shown in red, the additional column was removed from both of them. What have I missed?
