I used InfoPath for ages before I realized I could add a rule to a repeating node. :)</description></item><item><title>Re: Set a drop down field's value based on another field</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/122215.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jan 2020 22:09:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:122215</guid><dc:creator>Jaci Tomkinson</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/122215.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=122215</wfw:commentRss><description>Hilary, you truly are the miracle worker.
I added the rule to the table and it is working like a charm.

Select the repeating table in the form and in the rules pane, you can add a rule that will fire when a new row is added. That rule will affect any new row, and only that row. Give it a try, and attach your latest template if you need a hand, ok?</description></item><item><title>Re: Set a drop down field's value based on another field</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/122213.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jan 2020 21:24:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:122213</guid><dc:creator>Jaci Tomkinson</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/122213.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=122213</wfw:commentRss><description>Ah, now I feel like a right dim wit.
I added the rule to both the DiscType field and the DepPlanner field.
 
If DiscType=Commercial, then set field value DepPlanner=COMMInventory@xxx.com

That works!

Now, when I add another row to the table, the rule is not working or looping...it defaults back to select one...

Is there a rule that will make it repeat throughout the table?</description></item><item><title>Re: Set a drop down field's value based on another field</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/122212.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jan 2020 18:40:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:122212</guid><dc:creator>Hilary Stoupa</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/122212.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=122212</wfw:commentRss><description>Oh, I should add - you&amp;#39;ll also likely need a rule on the repeating table so that this gets set when a user inserts additional rules after making their commercial / residential selection. And the rule on the deployment planner field itself needs to be tested carefully - you want to make sure that when you re-set the value of a field with a rule on the field itself you don&amp;#39;t accidentally cause a loop. :)</description></item><item><title>Re: Set a drop down field's value based on another field</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/122211.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jan 2020 18:39:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:122211</guid><dc:creator>Hilary Stoupa</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/122211.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=122211</wfw:commentRss><description>You have different display and value options for your dropdown.

If the request is a Commercial type, I want the Deployment Planner to automatically be Commercial Planner.

I set rule that if Type of Request = Commercial, then Dep Planner = &amp;quot;Commercial Planner&amp;quot;

Nothing appears when I click on Preview and test it though. 

I have attached  the .xsn file.

Can this type of rule not work with drop down lists? Please let me know what I am doing wrong.



Thanks</description></item></channel></rss>
