I am attempting to submit to a SharePoint list using the instructions here:
http://www.infopathdev.com/files/folders/qrules/entry61475.aspx

 When I click the "Submit to SharePoint List" button on page 10, it does not update the list and I get an error that says, "Failed to select node for SharePoint List Id."  What can I do about this? 

Thanks!

Hi -- What is the syntax for your command?

The /id parameter needs to be the XPath to a field in your data source. If you are submitting repeating data, that XPath would be relative (like my:id, if you had a node named "id" in your repeating group). If you are submitting non-repeating data, your XPath will be absolute, like my:myFields/my:Group/my:IdField (if you had a field in your data source located in "Group" named "IdField").

Hi, thanks for replying.

Here is the syntax of my button command:
SubmitToSharePointList /submit=ShPSubmit /mapping=mapping /id=my:ID /dsname=AddAttachment /xpath=my:attachments/my:attachmentFile /uniqueName=yes

It is a repeating table, and the name of the field is "ID." 

Thanks,

Carolyn

Can you attach a copy of your form to a reply under the Options tab? Or if it is something you'd prefer not to add to a forum post, could you email it to our support email address? You can find that on the last page of your qRules user guide.

I just emailed it to the support address.  Thanks, Hilary!

Just to update the thread -- The failed to select node for list id error resolved itself -- not sure what was happening there -- maybe an extra space snuck into the command someplace?

Then the mapping had a URL that included a view -- we want that to just be the base SharePoint Site URL. The submit data connection needed a modification so that the listName parameter was including just the text and child elements....Finally (and here is where we knew we had this thing at our mercy) there was a SharePoint List column with a data type that was not the same as what we were submitting (it was yes / no and the data was not).

All's well that ends well, and the form is submitting to the list now.

I think what changed is that I changed the command from "id" to "ID".  Maybe I had the wrong case?

Mystery solved! Thanks for letting me know. XPath is case sensitive, so if your node is named "ID", you'd need to use the same case in the command.
