FieldRefs node in new Content Type XML

If you declare your Site Columns and Content Types in XML to deploy them as a Site Collection feature, you must make sure to ALWAYS include the node. If you leave it out then your Content Type will not have any of the inherited fields of the parent Content Type !!!

<ContentType
     ID="0xAAA943C84244BF338428AA48DA19"
     Name="Proposal"
     Group="Custom Content Types">
    <FieldRefs />
ContentType>

Hello Steven, In fact, it does not seem to break the inheritance of parent fields, but only has an effect on the display of this ones in the column list of the content type. I've had the same error with one of my content types without seeing it because I didn't go to the content type page to check it, and therefore I could use the content type's inherited columns in my layouts. Anyway, it is proper to always include the FieldRefs element :) Adrien PS : Sorry for my poor English...
