We have a setup where we have a content type hub with a range of taxonomy fields. Ideally we want to assign/connect the taxonomy fields on the destination site collections to individual domain specific term sets which contain a specific filtered subset of terms from the farm-wide terms collection.
But, the issue here is that every time we replicate a new version of our content types, this connection on local level is overwritten by the connection at content type hub level. The taxonomy fields at content type level are assigned to term store and term set Guid.Empty
. The effect is that also the field at site collection level becomes Guid.Empty
.
How can we prevent this? Or what would be a better setup to:
- Have a farm wide data model and a enterprise wide collection of taxonomies
- But have site collection (domain) specific filtered taxonomies
Maybe we should drop the OOTB content type hub and build our own taxonomy fields provisioning?
