I had a textbox that had a text type as the data, but it should've been number type data. I created a new field as a Number type textbox. I have a rule that populates data in the new number type text box. but when I published the form and users inputted data it did not transfer to the SharePoint. I editted the form, renamed the fields, I changed the text type field name, and then the number type textbox field to match the old texttype it was replacing and when I published the form there was an error of duplicate columns. Unsure how to have the new text box populate into the column that was already in the sharepoint site. Thanks

Hi - is this a list form, or a library form? Sometimes with promoted properties, it can be tricky to get them squared away - so if a library form, I'd probably remove both fields and republish. Check the library to be sure the columns have been removed. If they haven't and this is a new form / library, you may just want to try publishing to a new, clean library.
