You should be sent to MS in Redmond so you can tell them all about it... I'll leave it to Dan to organise :-)

I will add it on to my “todo list” and publish it up codeplex 1 day.

It may be possible to create a page, which allows you to reparent a content type. It would just need a custom page and some code :) From: ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Tuesday, 3 November 2009 8:28 AM To: ozMOSS Subject: RE: Content Types - Exporting and importing Agreed, agreed! And there should be an easy way to either lock them down or reparent them in the event they become orphaned through misadventure!

Their early should either be functionality to create a content type from a list .. or my preference get rid of the ability to even HAVE “free range” column. Content Types should be just how it’s done :P From: ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Tuesday, 3 November 2009 8:22 AM To: ozMOSS Subject: RE: Content Types - Exporting and importing Mike, if you’re not that keen on coding you can grab SPSource<http://spsource.codeplex.com/> to suck down the columns as XML schema definitions for re-use in a Site Column feature<http://blogit.create.pt/blogs/andrevala/archive/2008/03/26/SharePoint-2007-Deployment_3A00_-Site-Column-Features.aspx>. Writing a site column feature is a good first step to developing in MOSS as it’s fairly straightforward. If SPSource seems a little too geeky then you can do the same thing with SharePoint Manager<http://www.codeplex.com/spm>. Just drill down to the fields in the list, switch to schema view and copy out the XML to an elements manifest. For future reference, the predicament you currently find yourself in is precisely why Site Columns should always be used for these purposes.

Is that possible ?
