Renaming the Content Type a Form is used for

Forms SharePoint Online
1

Hello,

We have changed the name of the Content Type which was configured to use a custom Form.

As a result, the forms cannot be found because the path to them (inside Site Pages) still references the old name of the Content Type.

These are the options I can think of to fix it:

  1. Change the name of the Content Type back to what it was, export the forms, rename the Content Type again, and then Import the forms with the new name of the Content Type
  2. Change the name of the Folder (and files) in Site Pages/PlumsailForms so that it matches the new name of the Content Type
  3. Some other option I can't think of

What is the best way to fix this?

I ended up going with option #1 as it seemed the safest and it seems to have worked.

However, if there is a better way of doing it (renaming a Content Type without breaking the links to the custom forms) I'd be interested in hearing it.

Thanks!
