InfoPath Dev

well i can say I got it to work, but I can't figure out why. I have the rule trigger when SO_Number is Blank, number is not one of the fields that gets copied. with the rule like this when I add a new item, it copies the values I want from the previous section, to new and old entries alike. opens perfectly to view or edit. thanks again for ...

that was exactly what I needed, thank you!! I'm doing some more testing but having the trigger as ID = Blank seems to be the answer :) EDIT: Although this means I have to save an item before I can add sections into the repeating table, because the ID is blank before it gets saved.

Oh how awful. SharePoint must be firing the rule on the section when you re-open. I'm not sure what else to suggest at this point - I'll have to try to find time to test some other options, but it may be early next week. Edited to add - you could maybe try adding a condition on the rule to only run if ID is blank.

Something strange is happening to the items with this rule in place. it seems like I can add items to the Sharepoint list no problem, but when I open an item up, all the fields get cleared. If I click on edit, there is nothing there and if I save it, it saves them blank.

In my repeating table I have 9 of 13 fields being copied to the new record. I'm planning on 9 actions on one rule, but I was thinking, is 9 rules with one action each better?

I think if you save a list with a customized form as a template, that form will also be applied to any lists created from the template .... but that should be pretty quick to test. Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to publish a form to another list. There may be a way to do this in the source files - here's one blog post I found when ...

Working in SharePoint 2016 on prem. If I have a list with a customized InfoPath template, is there a way to copy that customized template to another list? I created my "child" lists from a template of the parent list, but now I'm noticing that only the parent list has a customized template - so I'm wondering if I stupidly ...

Yuck. I see that for me at least, the certs that I can sign a form with are in the personal certificate store. But if the cert dialog doesn't pop up at all, that can't be the issue. Want to email me your forms and cert and I can sign them for you and send them back? That would at least get you un-stuck. You can email me via the forum, ...

Glad that helped!
