Thank you Hilary. I did just find that as a possible workaround. What if additionally one wanted to allow writing to the form for users in a certain group after submittal, and say the person in the "submitted by" column? Would that be possible as well?

Is there a better way to do this (maybe in SharePoint) considering the case where one's form has 200+ fields? I don't want to set up conditional formatting on every single field since it would take ages.

You've been a great help Ernesto. I will try these out. Best regards to you.

Here is my scenario: I have a form that is submitted to a SharePoint Form Library, but business requirements ask that after the form is submitted, it should not be able to be edited again (with possible exception of a certain admin group). I know that I could just do this in SP by setting up a group's permission to be read-only for this Form ...

I would like to do the same thing, but in my case I want the fields to lookup text from another SharePoint list. So in the field dropdown, whatever is selected once, all other repeated fields in that column take on that value. Any idea how to do this?

I found the answer. You have to go to the dialog that Hilary mentioned, but also do these additional steps: 1. Under MyFields -> data fields, find the repeating section and click on it.  2. There will be a downward arrow on the right. Click on it. 3. Select "Add another list item below/above" depending on where you want the ...

[quote user="Hilary Stoupa"]If you need to include a specific number of instances of a repeating group or field, you can do that - under the Data tab in the ribbon, find the Default Values and from there you can specify how many instances you want to include by default. - I'm having kind of a hard time understanding your question, so ...

[quote user="Hilary Stoupa"] I think I'd use a repeating structure like you have and just have one section that only displays the first instance, with another section that displays all but the first instance. I've attached a sample - save it locally and then right click and select design so you can take a look / ...
