Hello,

Thank you for your answer.. It helped me a lot.. But i didn't get the result in this way, but I created a Fflter when selecting the fields value. My aim is now to employ this method in a repeating table. It works proper, but an unexpeced bug occurred. For some of the selections in the dropdown list box the values in the text fields are correct, but when a value is selected (not all, specific ones) ,the following items inserted contain wrong data. Is it a bug from InfoPath or it an error of the rules ? I am confused, because when the rules are applied in a non repeating manner it works just perfect.

Thank you in advance.

You want to display the same row name in the text box when user selects the number in the dropdown. Add following rule to the Dropdown box.

Open dropdown box Properties.
Select Rule and Click on “Add action” button.
Select “Set a Field Value” from First dropdown.
Select “Text box field” xpath in “Field” text box.
Enter following function values text box.

"@name[Dropdown = @number]"

I am trying to populate two drop-down lists from one Sharepoint list, where the condition is that if in the first drop-down list a value is selected, the secont drop-down list should have the value of the same item(row) form the Sharepoint list. The idea is that if I have a lists with a machines which are build in a factory, they are build with a number and a name(one row). I want in the first drop down to select the number, and in the second one automatically to ricieve its name.. or vice verca.. I don't understand where am I wrong, since when I am using the same technique(using the same data connection, the same filters and so on), but with a one drop-down list and a text box, the box can be populated with the required value! I am very confused, and this requirement I have to fulfill. Can anyone help me!
