Hi,

Thanks for this. However, I managed to add the Revision count elsewhere in the form (when a radio button is selected).

Hi,

This is indeed a tough problem. A workaround I could think of is by using a hidden Boolean field (false by default), and name the field isClicked, and set it to true if the submit button is clicked. After adding this, add a condition to the RevisionCount rule which should only be triggered if isClicked is not equal to true. This way it would only run once.

If you need to re-use the form, you can add a form load rule to set the isClicked value to false. This way, the RevisionCount rule could run again. Is this approach possible for you?

Fix Validation Errors Before Running Actions

stuck — Tue, 24 Jun 2014 18:02:13 GMT

Hi,

I am stuck with a very irritating problem.

I have a custom submit button which Runs these actions:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Set a field's value: RevisionCount = RevisionCount + 1

Submit using a data connection: SharePoint Library Submit

Close this form: No Prompt

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also have a number of validation rules which checks that fields are not blank etc.

The problem is, everytime I click on Submit button and when there are validation errors, my RevisionCount is calculated (+1). This should not happen before all the validations have been corrected. Otherwise it keeps adding and adding everytime the submit button is pressed.

Please tell me there is a way around this as this is a big show stopper for me to deploy this form.

Many thanks.
