Set the postback on the controls in question to "Always".

Okay, found one more problem related to qrules and this post chain.

If you read the history of this question, you will note that my problem first manifested itself when I uploaded my form as an admin approved form and subsequently tried to use as a webform.

Well, same issue. Everything works great from any machine as an Infopath Native form, but when I click the button that sets the command field, no activity. Result, Success, and Error fields are not changed; no indication of saving, and the list is not updated.

Now, here is the interesting part, when I click "close" under the edit ribbon on the webform, all my changes to the page one form are saved to the server. I expected this to occur when I clicked the button to set the command field. However, I have similar buttons on page 2 and 3 that save to other lists and these buttons work as expected - click button, forms saves instantly without the need to "close" form.

Am I doing something wrong or is this the design behaviour of qrules in a webform?

It is all starting to make sense now - multiple errors are so hard to troubleshoot. Particularly when everything works and hitting one buttons screws everything up without an error message.

Thanks for your help.

Well, you see, the form schema doesn't know or care what view the user is on. It only cares about those fields which are set to not be blank.

Perhaps add a field that you can leverage for custom validation for your required fields? Or you can use the qRules ClearErrors command.....

Okay,

I solved my probem with validation errors with you help. Second page has required fields.

If execute the command on page 1 (which does not save page 2 to list), you get validation errors becuase unrelated fields in page 2 that are required are not filled out.

Any work around for this without brute force filling out those values?

I will try that. Thanks.

I usually go under Programming in Form Options and click "Remove Code" then re-inject.

Okay,

I rebuilt step-by-step and...everything works. I wonder now if you may be on to something with the code issue. I attempted to re-inject qRules and started receiving an error about custom code. The box that opens that I am supposed to fix is empty.

If I hit the custom code (vice rules) by accident, how do I ensure that Qrules isn't broken?

Just the act of hitting the button is enough to tell InfoPath to use a different DLL than the qRules DLL. Try re-injecting your template.

No - it doesn't appear to fix anything to delete everything added after the form was in a known working condition.

I didn't add any custom code, altough it is possible that I hit the button and closed the window. That happens sometimes; however, I never would have added anything.

No chance you've accidentally hit the button to "edit code" on your button and accidentally added custom code?

Re: Validation Errors - Unable to Save To List Except on computer creating form

No, full trust shouldn't do that. So, if you remove or deactivate all the rules that are setting your field, qRules works again?

Re: Validation Errors - Unable to Save To List Except on computer creating form

jchilde — Fri, 27 May 2011 16:35:58 GMT

Yes - it uses a rule only. I am slowy building it again step by step and checking it. No chance the fact that I use full trust could be causing this is there?

How odd -- the button that performs the calculation uses rules, right? Not custom code?

By "can no longer execute the QRules command at all" I mean that after hitting the button to execute the qrules command, qRules doesn't indicate anything has occured (ie., no changes to the success check box and no error messages).

Furthermore, the list doesn't reflect that anything has been submitted. To answer your other question, I am not submitting a hyperlink column to sharepoint. I am only updated a text field.

To summarize: After SubmitToSharepointList is confirmed to be working properly, I then added an extra field to store my temporary data, created a button to perform a calculation on the data and then set the DocURL field, that had worked previously, to a specific value.

Then, upon hitting the same button as before there is no indication that the button actually worked - no error or success messages.

Something is breaking the form's code related to the button that would otherwise trigger the qrules command.
