Hi Matt, If the sections are built within the form, then you would need to create rules for each section to be hidden or shown, which is what we are going to avoid. I don't have an idea of how your form's logic is set up but what I would do in this case is, if you are not displaying the secondary data source onto the canvas, ...

Hi Jassie, Data entry errors are indeed hard to locate. The easiest way to show an error message is by using a calculated field with a red text font. Set this field to be hidden to the condition desired (i.e field1 is not blank and matches the pattern desired). If you wich the field to be an optional field, then hide the error message ...

Hope this ...

Hi Matt, I sent you an email. You can change the data connection to test the form, or copy the logic on the actual form.

Hi Matt, I'm attaching a sample form which you could use as your reference.

Hi Matt, If the form already has a field which holds the Form Name value, you could use that for the query value. If not, then you would need to generate a formula which would be equivalent to that value (concatenating values along with the value from the dropdown). After you have done this, simply query the Library using the Form Name value ...
