Implication:
The implication of this change, is that the process to reverse is not nearly as simple as the process to implement. Removing the column from the content type(s) will not remove the association of the column with lists that previously had the global column. A custom solution could be developed to automate removal of the column from content types and lists, but the alternative would be to manually remove each instance which could be time consuming in larger, more complex environments.
Process:
Content Types in SharePoint inherit from the Item content type. If a column is added to this content type (with the “Update all content types inheriting from this type?” option selected), the column will also be added to all existing content types in the site collection.
- Navigate to the Content Type Gallery at the root of the site collection, via the site settings page
- From under the List Content Types heading, select the “Item” content type.
- Press the “Add from new site column”, link to add a new global column, or the add from existing option to add an existing column to all content types.
- (If adding a new column) Complete the information about the new column, ensure that the “Update all content types inheriting from this type?” option is selected, and press OK to add the column.
