Re: Problem deleting repeating table rows in Infopath form

Thank you for checking on this and confirming my suspicion!

I was able to go into versions and find the offending records - and could restore the item. Also enabled the ability for admins to edit the field.

Thanks again!

I had to check this theory. I turned on versioning in a list, set a column to append, and then edited it a few times to get some history in place. Then I deleted one version of my list item - and that removed the history for the column w/ append for that version. So, yeah, I don't think this can be done (at least not easily...)

Hi - my guess would be that the allow append option is not going to let you actually delete any history. I think (since versioning has to be turned on to allow for this) that the "history" is actually pulled from prior versions of the list item and that to actually delete a history item, you'd have to somehow delete that version (which may have any number of other changes aside from just the item with allow append setting, right?)

Problem deleting repeating table rows in Infopath form

Hello team - my first post! Grateful you are all here.

We just launched a service management system track work requests that come into a customer service group. We have a COMMENTS field set up as MULTI-LINE TEXT BOX, with ALLOW APPEND option.

As the administrator, I need the ability to delete comments from time to time. I've enabled the option in the INfopath form to allow for INSERT and DELETE in the history section. But when I go in the form, and delete a comment/row, the next time I open the form the comment is still there. Not sure if there is something else that needs to happen within the repeating section to save the deletion BEFORE re-submitting the form.

Oh - by the way - this is a form that updates a Sharepoint list.

Happy to provide additional details -- thanks for the help.
