InfoPath Dev

 Hi Hilary thanks for the reply. I previewed the form you submitted but the Subnet Mask box remains empty. If you click on it then you see the value as the only option. Its like the default value is always blank until you manually select it. If I set the default value as '1' for Subnet Mask, when I choose an option from custom ...

I'd guess that the workflow itself has completed.... perhaps the email still hasn't been sent, or what-have-you, but the workflow is done. Like, if you check the workflow for the item, it isn't still running. You might want to try logging your workflow actions (there is a SharePoint designer action for that). Or maybe you don't ...

 Correct, but the column goes to "Completed" as soon as the submit button is pressed by the requesting person, before the first level approver opens their email to review the request.  Is this where I might use that "Wait for the item to be unlocked by the document editor" or something to that effect? As the test ...

So - I would expect that your logic to disable the submit button if any of the fields are blank would work. Is it possible you've mixed up your 'ands' and 'ors'? I do that sometimes with conditions... So for formatting the button, I'd think you'd want to disable it if field1 is blank OR field2 is blank OR .... and so on.

Wouldn't the Form Approvals workflow column show "Completed" when the workflow finishes running? I would expect that to be the case....

 I have 1 workflow for this library, it's a reusable workflow I created following the steps in the InfoPath/SharePoint book. I'll attach a screenshot of the conditions/actions, but no status changes are made within the workflow, it's all in the InfoPath rules.  The field that is showing "completed" is the Form ...

Great! so - first thing you might want to check - do you have any workflows on your library? If you do, that could be part of your issue, right? Maybe a workflow is changing the status on you. What field are you looking at that is showing completed? Is it the promoted Order Request Status field? Or another field? The color issue can be a real ...

Hilary,  I feel like the biggest dummy right now. I didn't need the Get User Profile in there. I took it out and just used username instead, and it worked like a charm.  The only issues I have left is that once a form is initially submitted, SP shows it as completed through the whole process. The other issue (really ...

Can I see your form? You can attach it under the Options tab in a reply.

Everything in my form was working fine and I honestly don't know what I did to change what is happening. My Form: 5 fields that are required (Cannot Be Blank is checked) Rule on the Submit button that Switches view to a message and then submits the data to the main data connection (SharePoint 2013 list) Original Behavior: If ...
