Hello Everyone,

I have a content type on root site in site collection, and that content type is used in form library that resides in around 2000 sub sites of the same site collection.

On the content type in root site, I have created globally reusable workflow. So my question is whenever i make changes in workflow on root site and publish those changes, does those changes get propagated to all sub sites automatically or something more needs to be done to propagate changes to content type in form library in sub sites?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

From your description, I have done a test in my SharePoint 2010:

1. Created a content type named workflow on root site in site collection.
2. Created a globally reusable workflow based on the workflow content type and set a column of the content type to a value.
3. Then I created a workflow based on the globally reusable workflow in the sub site, the change was displayed in the sub site content type. 

Per my test, I come to a conclusion that when I change a content type in the root site collection, those changes get propagated to all sub sites automatically.

If I misunderstanding your issue, Please don't hesitate to let me know.

Best Regards,

Lisa Chen
