Enable multi-value for the people picker fields in SharePoint list, and then load up and re-save the InfoPath forms. And all seems ok for now.

I guess enabling multi-value make InfoPath forms expecting of having &amp;quot;;&amp;quot; in the fields as it&amp;#39;s normally used to separate different values. So the IP forms won&amp;#39;t crash. Once the form is opened, it can parse the value (with a &amp;quot;;&amp;quot; between last &amp;amp; first names) as usual through SharePoint.

And IP form people picker only allows 1 value so it preserves the functionality even I enable multi-value for the SP list.


Gosh, so glad it&amp;#39;s working...</description></item><item><title>Form failed to load with people picker field</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/98607.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 07 Aug 2014 01:06:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:98607</guid><dc:creator>whyandrew</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/98607.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&amp;PostID=98607</wfw:commentRss><description>Need an urgent help with a Sharepoint site I&amp;#39;m trying to finish up.


I&amp;#39;m using Infopath 2010 forms on browser, binding to data from a SharePoint 2010 list.
Two fields are of &amp;quot;people&amp;quot; data type, without multi-value.


The major problem is our company&amp;#39;s user database is abit messy, some users&amp;#39; display name are &amp;quot;Doe, Jane&amp;quot;, while some are &amp;quot;Doe; Jane&amp;quot;. Using the semi-colon &amp;quot;;&amp;quot; is ugly to begin with, but now I found out whenever the item data contain people who&amp;#39;s display-name has a &amp;quot;;&amp;quot;, the InfoPath form will fail to load (get Sharepoint error showing a correlation ID).

Is this known issue? Is there any hotfix or any workaround for it? 




And if I enable allow multi-values for the people picker field in Sharepoint, the Infopath forms will fail for any user&amp;#39;s name in the fields. How do we get multi-people field to work in InfoPath, if at all possible?

Any help and suggestion needed.... Thanks</description></item></channel></rss>
