Re: Add form data to SharePoint Library columns without Content Type

Thanks Jennifer,

I am not sure if I am using promoted properties correctly or not. The only way I have been able to add columns in SharePoint Online to a Library was to publish the form as a Content Type. I will do a test to see if I can use promoted properties to a form library or doc library. Part of the issue is I am submitting the form to two different Site Collections, but I can only publish to one. I ended up concatenating the File name in the Submit data connection for the second site using the fields I want to add to the second site collection. Had to separate them with unique characters, which limits how many fields you can use. Once it is submitted I use a SharePoint Designer workflow to parse the field name as a string and then update columns in the library with the field data. May not have been the optimum solution but it works. If I find I can use the promoted properties I will post it.

Thanks,

Bob

Does your form template have any promoted properties? Generally, any fields you want to appear in library columns need to be designated as promoted properties.

Add form data to SharePoint Library columns without Content Type

I am trying to get form data added to a library in a second SharePoint site collection. In the form, I am using submit according to rules. I can submit the form to its source sharepoint library using a Content Type and the data I want is added to the SharePoint Library columns as defined by the content type. The second submit rule uses a data connection to a library in the second site collection. This does submit the form to the library in that site collection, but because you can apparently only associate a form with one content type in one site collection the data I need is not added to the second library along with the form. The Concat file name is added but no other field data.

Is there a way to add form field data to a library with out using a content type?
