Thanks for sharing!

There's a difference between rules and default values. Default values don't work to automatically recalculate when they are based on secondary data sources that don't change. So, you should just use a rule if you want to update it every time someone else opens the form. It's triggered on form load. You could add a rule to a ...

Hi Nancy, Is it because your form maps to SharePoint lists on the same site? Is that what takes the bulk of the config? If so, I guess you could take the mapping.xml and make it a relative resource based on a relative UDCX  file on the server in the current environment.
