InfoPath Dev

When using rule-based authentication (rather than just "Cannot be blank" checkbox) does it use anything other than the format of the fields? In the attached pic the fields are all text-type, excepting the Quantity and Hours which are numeric, but as you can see it's not allowing me to save. I thought it would just mark if blank, but ...

Hello to anyone still reading this forum. :-) I started this particular thread in the summer of 2019 but got pulled onto numerous other projects, then once this one was re-started I was instructed to investigate Power Apps. in the end I came full circle back to Infopath to perform the desired functions, and after re-familiarizing myself with ...

I think this might be a stretch, but I am building a form for a manufacturing location. They do have a people directory and for the full-time employees the people picker works fine. No issue there. Here is my question though: they occasionally have temporary contract employees performing some of the functions, and of course they are not in ...

Unfortunately that is not an option. This form is already HUGE and very near the column limit in SharePoint. I can barely afford to add the 25 additional columns needed for 25 error codes. If I added the fields used just to filter the codes it will be 100 more (4 drop-downs x 25 slots for storing errors), which I know won't fit. :-( Other ...

No, it doesn't. Granted this form is still in development (so not published) but if I close and re-open and then Preview I get the "not a valid xsn" error. I can go re-configure the drop-downs then it works again. It will be a pain once I duplicate the fields the 25 or so needed times...

Ya know, I've got this working fine now and understand it too, but I have this exact same bug yours displayed: anytime I close the Infopath file then reopen it the three filter drop-downs lose their configuration. SO long as it's open and I keep clicking Save it's OK, but close it at the end of the day and I have to reconfigure all of ...

Dang - I think I just figured it out! I had imported the xml with just Filter1...FIlter3 but hadn't selected it in my value filter. Once I did that it seems to be working! It's just an ultra-simple example now, but I needed a proof-of-concept before I expand it into a full-blown solution, but now I think I have the idea. Thanks ...

Sorry, my bad. We were talking about the same thing but I had it configured wrong. So with that resolved: let's say for the Filter2 level my Data Source is my xml menu "Filter2" repeating field. Now I select the Filter Data button to edit a filter. I tried Filter1 = Filter1 since I only want to show those entries, and while it ...

"Filter" isn't even available until the bind the drop-down to a column, which I don't want to do. I am thinking about attaching it but I'd have to strip a lot of stuff out first...one reason I am slow to do so.

I've mostly reproduced this, but am stuck at one point. On your file if I open Filter1 - Filter3 they are configured for "Get choices from fields in this form" but the "Entries" section is blank. I get an error even if I click "OK" on the sample, yet is works in demo mode. Obviously I am missing ...
