Thanks Hilary, I am a bit new to SharePoint, and so a little lost in the lingo here. Currently my main list (siteVisits) has its drop-down list for 'site', and some 'siteParamaters' fields populated from a secondary list (siteSpecs), via a secondary data connection. The siteParameter fields values are set by rules when the ...

Hi all - just checking in; if anyone has found a solution please let me know. Our corporation upgraded to SharePoint 2019 and it has effectively broken my process I had set up. Direct links to the forms won't work anymore - giving the "cannot be opened in web browser" message. But if I browse to the form library directly then I can ...

These are different fields? You are using list forms? Just add a data connection to the same list, and set it to not query when the form opens. Sort the data by Modified desc. Then when the user enters a site, set the site query field to the requested site and execute the query. Use rules to set your current fields from the 2DS fields.

Missed that, sorry - but did you try "and"? Because what you are effectively saying with "or" is that if the data doesn't match this or that, it is invalid. And it can't match both. You could also consolidate the pattern. See the attached sample - save locally, right click and select design then you can preview. :)

OK, I've got a drop-down list populating from a different list, and rules to set some other fields from that list. (I am so helpless until I write my problem out in your forum.) So I guess my engineers will have to set the specs for each site in the secondary list, if they want it to populate their main list. I wish I had a way to populate ...

My infopath list is where engineers enter specs and measurements they take at sites twice a year. In subsequent visits to a site the first 25 fields (the specs) are apt to be exactly the same. They've asked about getting those 25 fields populated from the record of the previous visit. If I can get a direction of attack without going down too ...

Hi Hilary, I currently have it set as "does not match pattern" using the "or" validation condition so the user will have the option or four or five digits at the end.

You were super close - just missing the "Plant" from the MDList in your XPath filter. Try this: xdXDocument:GetDOM("MDList")/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:SharePointListItem_RW/d:Email[../d:Plant = current()/../my:Ship]

so would my hidden files value be something like this: xdXDocument:GetDOM("MDList")/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:SharePointListItem_RW/d:Email[. = current()/../my:Ship] As that's what I put but no value is returning. Help? What I want to happen is when a person selects a location, the workflow would email the contact ...

So - your second expression has 5 digits at the end, and your sample value has four (3454). If I add another digit to your sample value, using your second pattern, validation works as anticipated.... I'm wondering if you are using "and" or "or" in the validation conditions? The condition is that the field does not match the ...
