You form has a repeating section in which there are three dropdowns. The dropdown values are autopopulated and when you change the value of one dropdown the value of that that dropdown across all sections is changed?<br /><br />How are you autopopulating these dropdowns?<br /><br />Shanthi<br />InfoPathDev Indiahttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/6678.aspxWed, 08 Jun 2005 13:43:41 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:6678jeffshex0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/6678.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=6678Is this the same case as this: 3 autopopulated drop down fields are the same in each repeating section. If I change one, doesn't matter where, they all get changed. <br />Sidenote:(Once the info is submitted to the database, those same 3 fields are only in the first record of those repeating sections.)<br /><br />Is xpath the way?https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/6677.aspxWed, 13 Apr 2005 14:20:25 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:6677b_man0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/6677.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=6677thankshttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/6676.aspxTue, 12 Apr 2005 17:45:17 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:6676Greg Collins0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/6676.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=6676You are not too far off. The XPath can get confusing...<br /><br />You need to use an XPath like the following:<br /><br />not(. = preceding::my:group2/my:field1)<br /><br />This will remove any existing selected value from the choices available to the other drop-downs<br /><br />Greg Collins [InfoPath MVP]<br />InfoPathDevhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/4616.aspxFri, 08 Apr 2005 12:09:19 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:4616b_man0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/4616.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=4616I've been trying to filter a dropdown box within a repeating section.<br />The filter is supposed to ommit the selection in all previous sections' dropdown boxes.<br /><br />When I run the form each dropdown box has no data.<br /><br />I'm not sure whether it's something in my XPATH logic or if it is somethings else.<br /><br />I'm using the filter statement...<br /><i>node</i> != current()/preceding-sibling::<i>dropdownbox</i><br /><br />ex.<br />-InfoPathForm<br />--new repeating section--dropdown box--filter: all nodes that are not in previous dropdown box<br />--new repeating section--dropdown box--filter: all nodes that are not in previous dropdown box<br />--new repeating section--dropdown box--filter: all nodes that are not in previous dropdown box
