    Fields from Infopath are not showing up in Sharepoint library

    I created a form in Infopath that autopopulates some values from a list I created in Sharepoint. This is set up in a repeating table. When I go to Sharepoint to add a new record i can see all the fields I created in Infopath except for those fields in the autopopulated repeating table. Can someone help me figure out why those fields don't show up in Sharepoint??! Thanks!

     How are you promoting those fields?

    Because these fields are inside a repeating table, I believe that when you create the promoted property (for the Form Library column) you'll need to select an option that tells InfoPath and SharePoint how to handle for the repeating data that is being promoted into a column.

    Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to see if I can find the pop up box in your reply. Because the fields in this table are populated when I select a value from a drop-down box, I promoted these fields using the 'rules' capabilities, so I don't think I ever used the pop up box you are referring to....am I not understanding what you're saying?? Sorry---first time I've created an infopath form!

    Could you have re-phrased it? "you'll need to select an option that tells" -  what?

    Probably you wanted to give a reference, and if not, I'd appreciate to see any

    In File > Advanced Form options > Property Promotion, you can promote fields. That is, you select an InfoPath form field and promote it to a SharePoint column. If it's a repeating field, you will have a dropdown as shown in the screenshot I attached earlier in this thread.
