When I go in and make a change to one of the fields in the form that has been promoted as a site column, the change is persisted, however, the value of the site column does not update. And that&#39;s strange, because I have a field called &quot;Form Status&quot; which controls the workflow state - and that is changed by actions in the form - and that value is updated as a site column.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/76832.aspxMon, 26 Mar 2012 05:58:07 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:76832oui_dino0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/76832.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=46&PostID=76832Hi guys, <br /> <br /> I have an administrator-approved InfoPath 2010 form hosted in a XmlFormView control inside a SharePoint 2010 application page (deployed to Layouts) This form submits to a hosting environment (ASP.NET), and works great when performing an initial submit. The values for fields which I have promoted as site columns carry over their values nicely to the document library. My problem starts when I open the form for updating. The form is also opened using the application page. I can submit the form without any issues, and the form preserves its data from the update; opening up the form again shows that the fields have been updated. However, the values for fields that have been promoted as site columns do not get updated; the SharePoint columns retain the original values they had when the form was 1st submitted. <br /> <br /> I&#39;ve tried a couple of approaches for this: <br /> <ul>- retrieved the file (InfoPath form) and updated it in the SubmitToHost event handler - doesn&#39;t do anything different</ul> <ul>- retried the item that the file is tied to and tried updating that: SharePoint will throw an error saying the item is being updated (by the current user, which makes sense).</ul> <ul>- simply letting the post go through, which also doesn&#39;t do anything.</ul> <br /> <br /> I don&#39;t want to have to open the InfoPath form via code and update the columns manually because the application page doesn&#39;t know the form at design-time, and an Xml parser isn&#39;t in the picture at the moment because we don&#39;t have control over the conventions that the InfoPath form designers will use when building their forms. I&#39;ll probably also run into the same issue above about the item currently being updated (item 2). <br /> <br /> So, the short question is: how do I let InfoPath update the SharePoint columns its fields are promoted to when submitting an &quot;edited&quot; (not new) form to a hosting environment? <br /> <br /> <br /> Dino
