InfoPath Dev

Hi InfoPath devs I'm looking to optimise a data connection query in my form so I don't get slow load times or the critical error - default values or rules taking too long to evaluate, simplify the expression or reduce the size of the data sets that they depend on. I have a sharepoint browser form that uses multiple sharepoint lists ...

Hi , Is there any way to create link to fileshare (e.g \\filserver\folderxyz ) ? Thank you!

The relink view is a built in view in InfoPath libraries. Not sure if it shows up in Modern views - you might have to change to classic. If your form library uses content types, I believe relinking will update forms to use the default content type, so use caution here.

Hi Doreen, would you mind explaining that a bit more? ie. How did you "change the link to point to another library.."? Where is this "Relink Documents" and where is this "View menu" you were referring to? Thanks, Laura

I'd probably need to see your form to know what is going wrong. In general, you'll need to either use the secondary data source query field and only query for the data you need, or if you already have loaded all the data, you'll need to use XPath filters when selecting the correct data. Also, remember that XPath is case sensitive, so ...

It is hard to guess without looking at your form, but usually what I do is drag the whole list data connection onto the form (query and data fields) and add a button that just runs the query. Then I can test the form in preview or in the browser. Set a query field, run the query, verify that there are data rows returned. From there, you may be ...

Hi Hilary, thanks for your response. But setting the query field doesn't work. I even tried a simple field like ID, but even that did not work. Step 1) set the field -? field ID = 114 ( query field of the secondary source) Step2) Query data connection step 3) set a field with the data field of that connection. The field is ...

So, I tried this in a SharePoint online list in modern view. When I export to Excel, any column not displayed in the view (excluding, as you mention, some internal columns) is not included. So I just can't repro this at all. Are you using SharePoint on-prem or online? If online, you may want to open a support case with Microsoft.

Is this SharePoint online or on-prem? If online, the REST query will probably not work. If on-prem, you should have your SharePoint admin take a look at the logs to determine the issue. However, since this is a simple equivalence query you would not need to use REST at all. Add a list data connection to your list, but on the final dialog, deselect ...

Hi Folks, I am currently using SharePoint infopath-2013 form in my SharePoint list.
