I am try to set the rule as AccountId not equal to userName() but AccountId is not an option.

How does the Account ID field return or grab the name of the first person/group picker? I don't see any rule or function tied to this field.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/124895.aspxFri, 03 Jun 2022 17:45:18 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:124895Hilary Stoupa0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/124895.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=124895The account id field of the people picker has that value :)https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/124894.aspxFri, 03 Jun 2022 17:41:14 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:124894alo1230https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/124894.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=124894I understand that the userName() function returns the name of the person filling out the form, but can this function or is there some other function that can return the name of the first person/group picker?https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/124893.aspxFri, 03 Jun 2022 16:18:37 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:124893Hilary Stoupa0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/124893.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=124893So I just put those on the form for your information - in the formatting on the second people picker, I'm hiding it if the account id from the first people picker doesn't match the result of the InfoPath userName() function - check that formatting on both the second people picker and the calculated value below it.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/124892.aspxFri, 03 Jun 2022 16:09:37 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:124892alo1230https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/124892.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=124892Thanks for replying. First off your idea of hiding the box makes sense. I'm a little confused as to how the Current User and Account ID text box are to be filled out? Would that be through some outside flow, manually entered, or some other alternative?https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/124891.aspxFri, 03 Jun 2022 15:51:47 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:124891Hilary Stoupa0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/124891.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=124891Testing in the browser, I found that disabling the people picker only half-works. I couldn't click the button to use the address book but was still able to type in the field and enter data. So I took the approach of hiding it, and showing a calculated value with the display name of the second person. I've attached a sample, right click the link in the header and save this file locally. Right click the saved file and select "Design" to open in InfoPath designer. From there you can preview - but you may need to publish this form for it to work correctly if you sign in with a different account to SharePoint than your machine. Hopefully I've added enough info in the sample to be helpful.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/124890.aspxFri, 03 Jun 2022 15:23:21 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:124890alo1230https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/124890.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=124890I am completely new to InfoPath and I've been asked to make some modifications to an existing form. The form currently has a person/group picker and I want to add another right below it. However, I want the second person/group picker to picked only by the person that was firstly chosen in the first person/group picker. Suppose the person in the first person/group picker is Apple, then only Apple can select who the second person in the second person/group picker is going to be. Of course, its not always going to be same person in the first person/group picker but is it possible to have the first person in the first person/group picker to be the only one that can edit the second person/group picker?
