Well, as I mentioned above, when I ran Fiddler when trying to submit the list items, I had an error response that the list didn't exist (which was nonsense - it obviously does) - so maybe you could also try the form in Preview with Fiddler running?

I published your form but it only saves the document but not the repeated items.

Oh schucks! I didn't see it. I'll try it now. Thanks!

Did you try the template I attached above?

No, I'm not. I'm using a host.

I ran Fiddler while submitting the form attached above to the list - you can see the returned error. Of course, the list does exist - but I'm wondering if the account I used just didn't have permissions to submit. You should install Fiddler and run a trace while testing your submit.

I took a look at your currently published form - it didn't have any rules on the "set" field to set the CAML values, like the earlier version I'd attached? I've re-added them.

However, there is still an error returned on the list submit - I'll attach a screenshot to another post.

You aren't using Office 365 are you? Please tell me you are not. :)

Hi, I get an error that says "An error occurred while trying to connect to a web service". My web service looks fine though. Any ideas? Thanks!

Ok. That's starting to make sense. Thanks!

You have repeating data in your main data source - and you want to submit it, right? So you have to set the CAML fields to the values from the main data source. And if you aren't using code, you need to do that for every instance of the repeating group - set the CAML fields, submit the data, repeat. :) A helper field in your repeating data source can make that easier - since the button is outside the repeating group it will set every instance of the submit helper attribute to 1. Then, the rule on the submit attribute is setting another helper field - this time in the CAML XML - and setting it the row count of the current row. You'll see on the set attribute in the CAML, I use the number in the set attribute to know what field to get the value from.....

Hi Hillary, I would like to understand the rule on the "Submit to List" button. What is the purpose of "@set = count(preceding-sibling::Children) + 1" and what is it doing? Thanks!

Here's a copy of your form. Double check that data connection to the web service submit and make sure the setting is correct for the tns:Update. I added some logic to set a field in your repeating group that can set your CAML and then submit it, one row at a time (which is the only option unless you were going to write code).

Did you select "XML subtree" for the Batch element in your submit connection?

Form attached. Could you please look through it to make sure it's right.
