InfoPath Dev

I would add the new fields to the XML without trying to open each one in InfoPath, just directly updating the XML file - and I'd probably do that via applying an XSLT. If you save your form template as source files (from the Publish menu) you'll find upgrade.xsl in those files. That is what InfoPath is applying to your existing XML when ...

I have a question about updating InfoPath form templates in a SharePoint document library. The library has ~70,000 records (InfoPath forms). I updated the form template to include some additional columns and would like to apply this change to the previous records. Specifically, I would like the InfoPath XML files to contain the (empty) ...

 Hi Hilary, Please see a sample form which explains the scenario. Problem we faced: once user done manual splitting, when user reopen the form to edit, manual split will get cleared and value will stored with the default formula which I don't want. I'm kinda new to InfoPath so might be the logic done here can be done ...

Hi, I was very excited on the prospect of displaying Charts on an InfoPath after seeing this video https://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/donovanf/InfoPath-2010-and-Creating-a-Form-that-Consumes-a-REST-enabled-WCF-Service I jumped up & down when I got my first chart on the form. That party came crashing when I realized the URL length limits at ...

Hi Hilary, Thanks for the look on the issue, Clarifying your questions, No I cant write rules for this control because this field is in a repeated table. And logic is not that simple, Form have one repeated table with 13 fields. 1 amount field and others stands for months (Jan to December). Logic is that if user selected auto option ...

Why does SharePoint Online make all that not work? I thought it was 100% compatible.

Ok - we met and walked through this - it looks like there may have been some confusion on which workflow was running - that the logging was added to a copy of the workflow which was not the one that was actually being run. It also looked like maybe SharePoint was scared of me & just started behaving. :)

Yeah, I don't know how you could manually add a missing form to the user's cache. You could try publishing the template to a network location all users have access to? If they have existing locally saved XML they need to finish filling out, you'd need to change the InfoPath PI to point to the network form (fill out and save an XML from ...

Ok - so given that you want this set to a value but then also want to allow the user to overwrite that value in some circumstances, I would say you definitely do not want to use a default value here. Instead, you need to place rules on all the fields involved in the calculation that set this field. I'm confused, though, about several things. ...

Thank you - I learned so much from this forum when I was learning InfoPath that I'm always happy to hear that I've helped someone else. Have a great weekend!
