It shows a value in browser.

But when I click on Submit, I am saving it to a &amp;quot;single line of text&amp;quot; field in the library.
It saves as a blank.</description></item><item><title>Re: Unable to promote a column with username function - sharepoint online, infopath</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/109026.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Jan 2017 18:06:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:109026</guid><dc:creator>Hilary Stoupa</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/109026.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=170&amp;PostID=109026</wfw:commentRss><description>Well, if in your form when you put this field on the form there is a value in preview, does it also have a value in the browser? I find it unlikely that there is an issue with the user name function - as far as I&amp;#39;ve seen, that function returns a value in browser forms in Office 365. You may not like the value - it will be using claims authentication and have some stuff in the front you may want to use substring-after to remove.</description></item><item><title>Re: Unable to promote a column with username function - sharepoint online, infopath</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/109025.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Jan 2017 17:55:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:109025</guid><dc:creator>Office365_Developer</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/109025.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=170&amp;PostID=109025</wfw:commentRss><description>If I promote the column as new column, there are some existing 1k items in the library which will not reflect this value.

Also, I checked there is no other column with same name.

I suspect there is some issue with username() function here - not sure.

Kindly suggest!

Thank you!</description></item><item><title>Re: Unable to promote a column with username function - sharepoint online, infopath</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/109023.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Jan 2017 15:53:18 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:109023</guid><dc:creator>Hilary Stoupa</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/109023.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=170&amp;PostID=109023</wfw:commentRss><description>Maybe try to promote the column as a new column. Also check the library&amp;#39;s settings page - do you maybe have more than one column with this name? I think Author is the internal name of the &amp;quot;Created By&amp;quot; column that exists in all lists / libraries, but I can&amp;#39;t imagine that is the issue - I&amp;#39;d assume SharePoint would just create a new column with a different internal name.</description></item><item><title>Unable to promote a column with username function - sharepoint online, infopath</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/109019.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Jan 2017 14:34:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:109019</guid><dc:creator>Office365_Developer</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/109019.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=170&amp;PostID=109019</wfw:commentRss><description>InfoPath Form Unable to save/submit a value in a library column in SharePoint Online via InfoPath 2013.
It is saving blank value.

The field contains the function username() and I want to save it as uppercase. I have attached a snapshot of column properties.

The column in library is of type &amp;quot;Single Line of text&amp;quot; in the library. When I try to display this value in a textbox, it works fine. But when I try to save the same value to the library, it saves as blank. 


While  publishing this form, I Tried to promote this as a &amp;quot;Core Document column&amp;quot;. Also, tried promoting this column as a part of the group &amp;quot;This form library&amp;quot;.
When I submit the form, there is a column in library which should be updated with username. This does not happen.

Any idea why this is not working in sharepoint online?</description></item></channel></rss>
