Glad that helped. With repeating data, you sometimes just need to add some helper fields to the schema.

Okay, right click the link in the post heading, and save the file locally. Right click the saved file and select Design to open in design mode. From there you can preview, enter repeating rows, and for at least one row, set date to today and Box 1 to 0. Then click the button. There is a helper field in the repeating group that has rules and conditions to set Box 1 - the button just sets that helper field.

Hey, Adam - I deleted the duplicate post. The SetValue approach you are using is actually from a third party tool (which my company created) called qRules. There is a way to do this without it, tho - I'll work up a sample here and attach it to another reply, okay?

infopath set field value repeating section

Adam — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 05:06:00 GMT

Hello,

I have a problem in my form (browser-enabled), I am trying to set the values to couple of fields in a repeating section.

Let's say I've got 8 fields in that repeating section: box1, box2 etc.

users can set value for those boxes as 0 or 1

0 gives a bad smiley & 1 gives a happy one :)

Now I added a button, that have a rule; if date not equal today() & if box1 equal to 0 then set box 1 value = 2

The problem with my repeating section (multiple rows), that the button sets the value (2) for all box1 rows (even if some of them equal to 0 or 1).

I checked a few posts about that issue & understand that there is a way in xpath to do it.

But nothing works for me.

I try to do something like that:

I used the same rule as above & in set value I tried:

SetValue() /xpath=/my:fields/my:table/my:box1 /value="2", )

But I guess its wrong.

Hope my describe understandable.

Any help will be appreciated.

thanks!

Adam.
