Thanks Bre, can you please provide an example of how to adding the rule? I didn't quite understand your recommended solution, sorry.

Hello Henry,

For a simple fix I would add a rule to either the Name field or FormLoad to set the Notice field to the concatenation, instead of the default value. When a field contains a default value, the form will recalculate to the original value when set to always update. By using a rule, you will then be able to change the notice field and save the updates without the default overwriting your data.

Hope that helps!

Can't save changes for a field on a view

Henry Xiao — Tue, 03 Feb 2015 17:51:16 GMT

Experts, please help!!

I have a form with 2 views.

View 1 has a field named "Name". View 2 has a field named "Notice"

On view 2, I set up the default value for "Notice" as Concat ( Name, " has enrolled this year")

The form data will be submitted to sharepoint library.

I tried to edit "Notice" field on view 2 and submitted it to the library, but when I opened it I didn't see the changes I made.

Is there any way to make the field "notice" Editable and being able to save the chaanges on View 2?

I know if I set up the value for notice just by text string without inserted value, it will capture my changes but that is not what I want.

Please help, thanks.
