    Creating new item in form library sharepoint by sharepoint designer

    Hi Sorry if my question is mixed of InfoPath form and sharepoint. I wanted to use InfoPath form instead of task list in sharepoint because my form has repeating section and table and with task list I cannot customize. Now I would like to know how I can create new item in form library by using sharepoint designer workflow and can see metadata. I have made my form template by InfoPath designer.

    I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time understanding this question. You should be able to add a submit connection to your InfoPath form to submit to a library - no need to use SharePoint Designer. Hopefully that's helpful. If not, can you provide more details about why you want to use SharePoint Designer, and what its purpose is here?

    Thank you very much hilary for trying to understand my bad question. actually I put my question in another forum I get the answer InfoPath will be finish and change the software and I said to them my sharepoint server is old and I have no way making forms in InfoPath. actually i am practicing with some custom business solution in You tube according this link (https://youtu.be/oRCxu4Jo4j4 ) about hr onboarding solution. in this solution for approval workflow and making tasks use custom list and creating the task by this list in sharepoint Designer. I want to do similar sample for my self and creating task in form library instead of custom list. because the from i wand to use for tasks needs some repeating section and tables and with custom list i can not create this form. in the you tube sample there is a master list when create item it automatically create until 5 tasks one by one after complete/Approving each task. I want to have all these tasks (5 tasks for each record in the master list) that created one by one in task list manage by one InfoPath form and adding some features/Controls like repeated section and also updating some fields in the master list by using this InfoPath form after submit. I hope explained good about my question. I do not know what i line to do is ok or no? any guidance very appreciate.

    I think it may be hard to use SharePoint designer to do this. You'd need to find a way to get the repeating data out of the XML file - if you promote repeating data as merged, you can get it into a list, but it will be semi-colon delimited and unless all the fields are required you could end up with a data mismatch. I'm also uncertain how you would split those strings in SharePoint Designer.

    Thanks, I think I found a way. I should make a InfoPath form with all the approvals and sections/Repeated sections I need and publish to form library and create the task in the task list when status of form changes and link from the task to the InfoPath Form. so i do not need create tasks in form library. my problem i select bad strategy for solving my business solutions because some times is very tricky and various and It needs experience that i do not have. I will be happy if you could answer my another question about updating columns of a master list after submitting parent child InfoPath form to form library (https://www.infopathdev.com/forums/t/40357.aspx)
