I am confused! :)
Is the data you need in another instance of the form (another XML created by the same template) or is it actually in the currently open file?
At any rate, I've done a little REST - but I don't know that we can create a REST connection to an XML file - Lists, Libraries - but all we'd see from the library is ...

Yeah - you may be able to do this somehow in the form files - I'd probably just stick an expression box (calc'd value) over it with some help text and hide it if the drop down isn't blank...

Is your form being used in a SharePoint 2013 site? You may want to write some debugging info to form fields in your code (since we can't just pop up a dialog from IPFS). Apparently, there are ways to attach to the process and run in debug from IPFS, but I've yet to manage to get that to work.

I'm not quite sure what you are saying - maybe attach a screenshot under the Options tab to clarify? If this is a browser form, they aren't always as tolerant of manual form file mods that Filler may accept.

So, I just tried this - IP 2013, ShP 2010, IE 2010. I set my view in a library to datasheet view and opened a new form (from the ribbon new document option) and it just opened, no extra window, no warning, etc. My ShP site is in my local intranet. Sorry - I know this isn't too helpful, but just wanted to try it and see what happened.

I'm sorry no one seems to be able to provide input on this - good detective work on tracking it down so far. Does it matter if the data sheet view is the default? Or just happens no matter what if the library is in datasheet view?
-
Ok- Just found out something. This only happens to my form Libraries that are in "Datasheet View" . Now, to figure out WHY??
-
It seems to be an issue with the date picker control. I created a new text field in the form and promoted the column. The new fields default will always update from data picker value. Now the new column field, updates in the List form library. Hmmm
Can someone tell me why data picker control won't update ...

Any ideas how to fix this? I created a test library and created a basic form. It works fine. My other forms consist of drop downs pulling from lists in Sharepoint and a lot of calculations. I’m sure it is just some setting but it is very annoying for my customers. Thank you

I am trying to connect a form to an XML file as a secondary data source dynamically in order to populate several drop down lists on the form.
This could be looked at in the following way, "Form type A must select the 'Ford' model xml file. Form type B must select the 'GM' model xml file."
In reality, I am trying to ...
