There is this form that was not created by me but by a person that no longer works at the company. When an item is first being created, the grey section, from Prod/PRP ID down to Comments, is hidden. It isn't until after the item is submitted and then edited that the grey section appears. How can I do the same?

I'd need to see the form. You can attach it under the Options tab in a reply.

Here it is.

Is this form used in a web part, by any chance? I don't see any logic to change the views in the Form Load, which is where I was thinking they might be.

This form is used on SharePoint.

Yes, it is a list form, so I was assuming that. I can see it has a view for new and one for edit. If it isn't used in a web part, I'm not sure how it is getting switched. There's an option in the Form Options for setting the Display View, but that won't alter the New Item / Edit Item scenario. You may want to check the list in SharePoint Designer and see if there is something there. In general I would just add a rule on Form Load - if ID is not blank, switch to Edit View. Then the New Item which is the default would open for new items, and when you open existing items (which will have an ID) the Form Load rule will switch views. I think that will work in a list form - you may want to try it on the new form you are working on. If your form is NOT a list form, but a library form instead, you may need to pick another field to determine whether it is new or an edit - probably any required field would do the trick.

I am trying to make a repeating table but Im not sure how to do this?

You could try dragging the repeating SharePointListItem_RW onto the form and select Repeating Table - but any time the user adds an item it adds another list item. List forms don't support nested repeating elements.

I have a repeated section and repeated table, why is that when I insert an item the section and the table get repeated. I thought it would only be the table?
