When you first created your SharePoint list form, did you select the option "Manage multiple list items with this form"? If you did then I think that's the reason why you're getting such behavior.

Essentially, each field that you add in a SharePoint list form will be added as a column in the SharePoint list associated with it. So if you want to be able to manage (submit new items and/or update existing ones), multiple list items with your form, the entire data source needs to be repeating. In this case, each row from the repeating group corresponds to one item in your SharePoint list; whereas if you did not select the 'manage multiple items' option your data source will not be repeating and therefore each form will correspond to one list item.

I hope that makes sense, feel free to respond back if you need more information.

I am trying to make a form for a list that uses repeating tables. I can add fields that can repeat just fine, but when I want to add fields that I do not want to repeat it keeps making them repeat too. I am sure am missing something very simple. I am brand new to InfoPath as of this week. I also forgot to add am trying to use the form with SharePoint lists.

Thanks
