InfoPath Dev

Here's a forum blog post that is more about images, but has the general command syntax info, as well as info on how to add the attributes: https://www.infopathdev.com/blogs/mel_balsamo/archive/2017/09/05/how-to-save-images-to-sharepoint.aspx You could also check our YouTube content - this command has been around for a while, so some of what ...

Awesome! Where would I find out how to use SaveToSharePoint?

In FormsViewer, you can use the SaveToSharePoint command, which will save the attachment to a specified library and replace it with a link in the form. This really helps with form size - smaller XML files open more quickly! In terms of how to get attachment data from the base64 for InfoPath, I've used a custom logic app for that. You can find ...

I know that there is a way to extract the Attachments to an item in a SharePoint list using Power Automate. Can something similar be done w/ items from a SharePoint XML forms library? I've gotten as far as extracting the base64 encoded contents of my attachment fields, but am unclear as to how to get back both the original file contents and ...

Yes, that's correct - good job figuring that out. That lets you test with your existing data without turning FV Extensions on for the list or library before you are ready.

I have a library which currently uses an InfoPath form for data entry and editing. I also have a new FormsViewer form for that same library, which I can use to create new entries. Currently, clicking on an entry's title will open the IP form for that record, and I can have that click use the FV w/ the proper Extensions configuration. I do ...

I should add - you could also use the SubmitToSharePointList functionality in FormsViewer to update this data after submitting. It is a little tricky because the mapping tool doesn't currently support libraries, but I can give you a hand with that if you need it. Then you don't have to worry about the Flow polling lag! :)

Unfortunately, this is not supported for promoted properties. If you are using SharePoint Online, you could use Flow to set your person group - promote the account id and then with a Flow on the library, populate the person column using that information. The only downside of this approach is that you will be dealing with the polling lag in Flow - ...

I have a library with a Person field, and a corresponding form field. How do I get the form value Promoted to the library record when the form is updated/submitted? I can choose any of the 3 elements of a Person as the source of a Promoted property, and am currently choosing the AccountId, but the value does not appear in the Library record. (I ...
