InfoPath Dev

Well- that's weird that some rules like this work and this one doesn't. Is the default in all of them set to change if the data source is updated? I don't like default values - I prefer to use rules all the time, because I'm a control freak. You could test removing the default value (just temporarily) to verify the issue is not ...

Yeah, this is not something out of the box InfoPath is going to handle very gracefully, unfortunately. I guess your second list could have a lookup to the first form library, so your user could explicitly select the correct related form... and then in the main form, you could query for the related list item in order to get the link(s) back... that ...

Hi, I am trying to override a field value that has a default value which has been pulled in from a data connection. When the field is blank I want to set the value "N/A".  My form field is a text field that is pulling in a date from a library data connection and then taking a substring of it ...

I have an existing SharePoint/InfoPath/Power BI tool that has been in use for years in North America, and I have been instructed to roll it out globally. The existing tool is HUGE and I am quite certain I am near absolute capacity (column-wise) with 280 columns, so the one section that I think is most likely to require additions to suit legal ...

Thank you so much. This worked perfectly. Now, is there a way to make sure my users check at least one box or get an error message on the form?

Are you using Get choices from an external data source (If this is a list in SharePoint)?, If so, create a new column like Building Status. Give it values of Active and Inactive (or something similar). Now, on your form, add a filter to this connection and filter by Active.

You can. If each of the checkboxes are boolean (TRUE, FALSE) fields, select the first checkbox and create an Action Rule. If Checkbox1 = TRUE. Set a field's value Checkbox2 = true() - Use the Fx function button to find the true function. Set another field's value and so on. You may also want to set them back to false() when the user ...

Great job & thanks for posting your solution to help others!

Thank you for answering, Hilary. I figured this out, so I hope this helps someone else. Found this interesting that I never bumped into this before, but you cannot set the value of a people picker out of the gate if it is inside a hidden section unless that section is within the same one that helps show that section. Field in Section 1: ...
