Hi Bill! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Could you provide a screen shot of both the secondary data source the values are coming from and the format you want to change it into? And if you can attach whatever you've got so far for the XSLT file, I can help point you in the right direction.

If you are going to use code to populate the main data source, I'd make the main data source reflect the true data structure. I'd have a parent group, with the repeating child group inside - then use code to populate the parent item and the child items for that parent. This makes layout simple - your layout now matches your data structure ...

Ah - oh boy. You are right (embarrassed) - I'm not sure what I was thinking. Now - guess I could use some programming to populate a main data source repeating table with the list data - I have done that before, so I think I can work that part out - and then I could put a true yes/no option button into the form, instead of the ...

Recently a form that has been around for years started displaying "SPS!Moss2013P01" for fields with a default value of Value[Name = "FirstName"] and "Service Account" for fields with a value of Value[Name = "LastName"]. My fix was simple because I tied these values to a load rule instead of a field default ...

I'm not being clear. Unless the data the user enters is in the main data source, the data won't save. I'm guessing you want the user to answer each question?

Hey there Infopath pals, Anyone happen to have an XSLT example transforming people(with its 3 nodes) from a secondary DS to an internal(to the form) repeating table person field group? I'm working on my transform file now and have already had great success with it with "flat" structures thanks to Jimmy's very helpful ...

Thanks Hilary - it's good to (at least) get confirmation that it's not possible. Regarding saving the data - I'm going to be saving this as a library file (along with a couple of concat'd fields), so I'm okay with the data not being directly available outside of the completed form. My main ...

 Yes.  THANKS!

Oh, sorry, I hadn't seen this post. I'll see if I can reproduce this later today. SharePoint is also 2010?

Anyone?
