They have this request to add/modify existing SharePoint designer workflow task form with new fields. Simple change!
But came across these 2 issues and how I solved it.
Issue: Field Update
Update the form fields (As required)
To Fix Field updates:
Remove/rename/delete away the form from workflow
Issue: CT Unable to show up in the task form
While updating the task form for the user collection activity, you will see blank & CT updated with no custom fields
Proceed with adding back fields, (here you need to know previous fields, you can track back from previous task forms)
Delete away the existing InfoPath form for that CT
Publish the workflow. Will fix the CT & form.
