Hi Wheeliea,

One simple way to do this is to add an receive data connection to an XML file that has three fields in it:

</viewState>

Drag the secondary data source values to each view - one for field1, one for field2 and one for field3.

Add a rule to each field to set a value. Specify the value of the repeating node in your main data source.

This doesn't quite work since you aren't indexing it.

You'll have to go into the manifest.xsf (File->Publish->Export Source Files) using notepad and add the [1] or [2] or [3] index after the xpath for each of the three rules.

Then it will work.

Of course, it's slightly more complicated if you have a lot of fields in the repeating child group, but you can do it.

Make sure your main data source looks like this:

parent (non-repeating group)

child (repeating group)

fieldA (non-repeating)

fieldB (non-repeating)

...

Good luck

Repeating Section Across Multiple Views

In the XML Data Source, I have a node that can have multiple entries. In this case I would normally use a Repeating Section on the InfoPath form. There will ever be 0 to 3 entries for the node.

Is it possible to create 3 separate views, each which populate one entry of the node in question. Or am I going to need a Repeating Section to handle the multiple entries.

Can a Repeating Section be split across multiple views dynamically?
