Hi Hillary,

I have been trying to create an InfoPath form - when i first created it I chose the 'manage multiple list items. Once the form is created I have a repeating section for the top portion of the form. I don't need the repeating section for that part, but for the lower half of the form. I select the 'Change control' feature for the repeating section to select repeating table. I remove all the form fields just leaving the two fields I need a repeating table for. I add fields and controls above these two fields and select the upper portion fields which I don't need to repeat from 'myFields' control and select fields and controls which do not repeat. I'm sure I'm going about it all wrong, but couldn't figure out how to remove the repeating sections control and just add it where I needed it. So, it looks the way I need it to be, but the problem is that it won't publish to my SP list as it generates errors stating that the fields cannot be blank. When I run the preview feature I populate data to the form to ensure that it can publish to the SP list and yet, it states the fields cannot be empty. The fields properties are that these fields cannot be empty. HOw do you fix this problem? I've been playing with it for way too long and cannot resolve this. Please HELP!!

Possible.

open InfoPath -> Data Tab -> Data Connection -> Add -> Receive Data -> Next -> SharePoint library or list -> enter *site Link -> choose list -> Choose fields (aka Columns) -> Enter data connection name -> Finish.

*Site Link: http://(ServerName)/(SiteName)/.

Hope it's helpful!

Yes it's possible Thabiso.

Open new InfoPath -> go to data Tab -> Click on Data Connection -> Add -> Click on Receive Data -> SharePoint Library or list -> copy past link of the site Ex:(http://"ServerName"/"SiteName") -> Choose the list needed -> Next -> choose filed (aka Columns) needed -> Give the data connection Name -> Click Finish.

Hope this is helpful.

Hello,

I am new in Sharepoint development, and I have project to populate word document template with the columns from the sharepoint list.

I build the form in infopath with multiple list:

I have attached the image of the form to this post.

The form has two cascating dropdown list box: Location, Department.

Based on the value in Location and Department I am displaying the multiple selecetion box: 3 values: MGRMIS, PROGRA, MISTEC.

When the user select one or more choices from the Job multiselection box, the form populate repeating section with the employee lists: First Name, ALst Name, Employee Number and Status.

When I save the form, it does not save the repeating section in the list.

I tried so many different ways, but no luck. Do you have any solution for my issue?

Thank you,

Jagoda

I think you are actually showing a screen shot of your library? One option may be to select Merge instead of First on the promoted property.

Hi I see this question alot and I am struggling with the same thing. My repeating row once submitted goes to a sharepoint list and only the first little part shows, example. I have Plan Steps, Responsible Person, ECD date and RCD Date. All that shows is Step 1. Im not sure if 2010 is different 2013 but I could not find the manage multiple items, do I add a connection for that? Is there anyway to show all the items in the repeating table in the sharepoint list? Thank you

Hello Hilary, your help is being very valuable. It is exactly what I wanted.

I would need some help in the sections when I check the manage multiple itens field. How can I add a normal section? All the sections would turn to be repeating sections.

Well - you could add a field that has whatever you are using for your form id and have it be the same in all instances - I am afraid I don't really think I understand what you are trying to ask....

Hello Hilary,

Regarding the usege of repating table/repeating section in the sharepoint list, I would like to know if is it possible to submitting several rows (as it is possible by clicking the Manage Multiple List Items With this Form) but by copying the same ID for the form.

Per example: I submit tree lines in the repeating table and it creates 3 new entries with different item IDs. As I am submmiting this 3 itens with only one form, can I submmit it with only one ID?

I have a list form open in InfoPath that I am modifying. I am trying to follow your guidelines here but when I create my new list form and use the url to the list, the option to 'Manage Multiple Items' is not showing on my data connection wizard. Is there something I need to do in the list itself to have that option?
