AddContentTypeField - cannot add field to Content Type

Question

I have a list with content type in it. I'm trying to add a field to this content type so I can use it in the library. Here's I've added Elements.1.0.0.1.xml file to Content Type:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
     <Field ID="{63F353F8-F206-4BB0-A3C1-1B8FA9E43C63}" DisplayName="Dull field" Name="DULLfield" Type="Text" Group="RM" Overwrite="TRUE" />
    </Elements>

Then I've added Upgrade Action to Feature.Template.xml:

    <UpgradeActions>
    <VersionRange BeginVersion="0.0.0.0" EndVersion="10.0.0.0">
      <ApplyElementManifests>
        <ElementManifest Location="MyContentType\Elements.1.0.0.1.xml"/>
      </ApplyElementManifests>
      <AddContentTypeField ContentTypeId="0x0120D520005C2CAF72F4414435A29E0ACDC59F28D9" FieldId="{63F353F8-F206-4BB0-A3C1-1B8FA9E43C63}" PushDown="TRUE"/>
    </VersionRange>
  </UpgradeActions>

Then I run following script with no errors or warnings:

    Update-SPSolution -Identity sharepointproject1.wsp -LiteralPath  "C:\SharePointProject1.wsp" -GA
CDeployment

Now I can see new field in Site Columns, but not in my Content Type. I suppose PushDown="TRUE" parameter has to add new field to a content type, but it doesn't. What do I miss?

======== Update ======== Deployed solution with Version = 1.0.0.0, then changed Version to 2.0.0.0, Publish WSP file to local disk, run Update-SPSolution. When I get Solution version via PowerShell

$f = Get-SPFeature | where{$_.DisplayName -eq '
myfeature'}
$f.version 

It's still 1.0.0.0. I've opened wsp feature.xml file inside wsp file - it has correct version 2.0.0.0

What do I miss?

Answer 1

I've finally got the upgrade done. Here's a list of actions I proceeded:

1.Update spsolution (.wsp file):

   Update-SPSolution -Identity SharePointProject58.wsp -LiteralPath "<Path>" -GACDeployment

2.Upgrade feature:

    $feature = $web.Features | where{$_.Definition.DisplayName -eq '*myfeature*'} 
$feature.Upgrade($true)

And the most important part: You have to restart console after every time you update solution, otherwise it sticks to old version! Here's good article on the subject.

Answer 2

Give versioning to the feature, i.e. VersionRange id, then remove from VersionRange the BeginVersion property.

Exemple:

<Feature xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/" Version="10.0.0.0">
  <UpgradeActions>
    <VersionRange EndVersion ="10.0.0.0">
      <ApplyElementManifests>
        <ElementManifest Location="MyContentType\Elements.1.0.0.1.xml"/>
      </ApplyElementManifests>
      <AddContentTypeField ContentTypeId="0x0120D520005C2CAF72F4414435A29E0ACDC59F28D9" FieldId="{63F353F8-F206-4BB0-A3C1-1B8FA9E43C63}" PushDown="TRUE"/>
    </VersionRange>
  </UpgradeActions>
</Feature>

Hope it helps.
