In my form, if someone selects "Termination" as the Reason, I want the "End Date" to become required. As soon as I set the rule to make that field a required field, no one can enter a form even if they put an end date in that field. It gets a dashed red line around the box, indicating that the field requires a value, even ...

Hi Hilary, thanks for the quick reply. No, it doesn't require versioning to be turned on, we use forms every day where they are checked out and in and they don't require versioning. I was hoping to capture the date and time that the form was checked in and display that in a column, but if it can't be done I just need confirmation, ...

I have a form where I need to display the date and time that it was "completed" after it's checked back in. How would I go about doing this? I'm no novice, but THIS, I can't figure out. Thanks.

It's been a very long time since I had to add a "Submitted Date" column in a SharePoint library from an Infopath form. Can someone remind me how this is done? I can see it in other forms I've created but I can't remember where it comes from or how I got it there. :/ This is a good field to have because you can ...

Outstanding service, Hilary. You're a champion! Too bad InfoPath and SharePoint are no longer supported, but I'll keep coming back here if we run into any more issues in the future! Dan

Hi, I have created a new form, it's quite busy with many sections and many things that happen using Rules (like hiding of sections if something is "False", etc.). Upon adding a new section today, I started getting Design Checker errors saying "Invalid form template error", and when I click on that, the message ...

Anyone?

The issue was that Microsoft released some security patches in March which rendered the date picker and any calculated fields useless. Our fix was to go back to SP2010 and InfoPath 2010... now everything is working like a charm.
