Hello!
I have a trouble with adding view to deployed list.
I deploy farm solution with custom column, content type, list and list view, then i updated my solution project adding few columns, new content type and list view. Then i trying deploy updated solution, but list not update. New content type are created, new columns are created, but new content type and new view not add to list.
I try Update-spsolution to update my deployed solution, try Uninstall/Remove solution. How i can update deployed list (add view/content type, update columns in list) without delete list?
Thanks!
List instances are not upgraded when we do a solution deployment or solution upgrade. We need to use the feature upgrade to specify the actions that need to be done when upgrading the feature.
