Well, you have a SharePoint list - it has user names, among other things. When the user selects the name of the Supervisor - is that drop down using the same data source as the list with the user names? Do you mind attaching your form to the Options tab? I can probably put this in place for you pretty easily, and then you'll see what I ...

OK. So I am going through the steps. I am at the Specify Filter Conditions window.  When the user is filling out the form they will select the name of the Supervisor. Not sure I understand what you mean by  'I'm assuming there is some other data in the form that matches something in your list to let you know which user name ...

Yup, you just need a filter. So, on your rule, your value is currently User_Name. Click the fx box to open the formula editor again. Highlight the User_Name field and select Insert Field or Group. IP should open up a data source window with the field selected. In the lower left corner, you'll see a filter data button. Click that. Now ...

All instance have a value for User_Name. There are 13 different Supervisors in the list. It is defaulting to the first instance of the User_Name from the SharePoint Firewall Request Form Approval List. You mentioned not having filters on the rule. Should I have a filter on the Rule? I appreciate your help with this.

Hello, I am using Infopath 2010 and SharePoint 2010. I have a form which a user completes - they press a submit button and this is then sent to the Sharepoint list.  I have set the filename of the uploaded forms to concat(Name, now()) - I have selected the 'Allow overwrite if file exists option'. The approver then receives an email ...

I'll assume from your reply you are saying that the rule itself is not working correctly? Not that you are having different behavior between browser and preview? So - you don't have any filters on the rule - do all instances of the User_Name field have a value? Are there multiple entries in that list? Your rule will set the ...

Set a field's value: supervisorUserName = @User_Name  User_Name is a field in the SharePoint Firewall Request Form Approval List  

I don't understand what this means: [quote user="kominski"]It is displaying in the Preview and Browser. [/quote] It sounds like maybe you don't have your rule set correctly? That is - if the rule works correctly in preview, but not in browser, it is postback. If the rule doesn't work correctly, it is the rule itself.... ...

Thank you for responding. It is displaying in the Preview and Browser. But when I change the Supervisor name it is not updating the SupervisorUserName field. I did set the postback to always.

But does it work when you preview the form? If it works in preview but not in the browser, it may be a postback issue. If so, right click the drop down control and select the properties - in the properties dialog, on the browser tab, try setting postback to always.
