    People Picker not getting populated in the Sharepoint site

    Reply Contact

     

    Here i am facing some weird issue. I have a People Picker, which is being populated from a SharePoint list based on the selection in the dropdown. The data connections are made properly and the functionality is working as expected when i do a Preview in the Infopath 2010. But when i publish the Infopath in the Sharepoint site, the functionality is not working. When i perform the necessary action the rule to set the People picker is not working. Following are the values of the People Picker that i am setting in the Rule- AccountID Display Name & Account Type. Can someone please help me in this issue. Appreciate your quick help.

    Thanks,

    Are you saying when you select your user from a sharepoint list a people picker is filled out? Are other fields then meant to be filled out.

    By the sounds of it you'll need a secondary data connection to perform a lookup based on the chosen person in the people picker. Depending on what information you want, you might want to look at usering the GetUserProfile data option too.

     To be more precise,

    I have a sharepoint list--> tower(Id, TowerName [Text datatype], Tower Lead A[people Picket datatype], Tower Bead B [Text datatype]).

    I have a dropdown which is getting populated from the tower name from the sharepoint list.

    When i select the Tower in the dropdown, the Tower Lead A and Tower Lead B is to be populated in the Infopath form. 

    This thing is working fine for Tower Lead A and Tower Lead B (i can see this because in the Preview it works fine) but when i do a publish, the same does not work for the population of the People Picker datafield. where in Tower Lead B is working.

    I hope i am clear now with the problem. I have checked the data connections as well, but not able to find the issue. Please provide inputs.

    I finally found why i was facing this issue.

    In the dropDown list in Infopath we are having Postback settings- where you get 3 options,

    Always, Never and Only when necessary for correct rendering of the form.

    Earlier the dropdown was set with the 3rd option. But i changed it to Always, so the functionality started working.

    Thanks,
