InfoPath Dev

I have a field that gets its data from a field in another SharePoint list. That field either has ONE value or is blank. I took the easy way and made it a combo box with a tooltip that says "If the drop-down is blank (does not display a value) manually enter a 1," but the testers are putting in stupid numbers like 100 ...

I have an InfoPath form for a list that has a data connection to three columns of a different SharePoint list. The second (source) list can get big (4k+ rows). I recently added a new column (number format) to the data connection, and when published and trying to open to new instance of the form the data connection failed as too big (the source ...

...But not IE or Chrome. Anyone see this before? And I went through all sections and none have the option "Allow users to delete the section" selected. It looks goofy as heck because they all have borders around them, not visible in other browsers, that pop a button when the cursor is inside.

SORRY! Just figured it out. On the DATA tab, SharePoint Form Data region, click Refresh Fields. Works perfectly!

When you open an Infopath file in Design mode it checks the state and order of columns on the actual site. If there is a mismatch it informs you then prompts if you want to update the fields in Infopath to match, or overwrite the state on SharePoint. Is there a way to reproduce this behavcior without shutting Infopath down and then re-opening it?

I'm sorry, please disregard this. I am new to rule-based authentication and didn't realize there was an ability from the toolbar to select the authentication type. Once I redid them using this feature the issue resolved itself with only one exception, but I suspect tht is because I have two different drop-downs writing to the same Field ...

When using rule-based authentication (rather than just "Cannot be blank" checkbox) does it use anything other than the format of the fields? In the attached pic the fields are all text-type, excepting the Quantity and Hours which are numeric, but as you can see it's not allowing me to save. I thought it would just mark if blank, but ...

Hello to anyone still reading this forum. :-) I started this particular thread in the summer of 2019 but got pulled onto numerous other projects, then once this one was re-started I was instructed to investigate Power Apps. in the end I came full circle back to Infopath to perform the desired functions, and after re-familiarizing myself with ...

I think this might be a stretch, but I am building a form for a manufacturing location. They do have a people directory and for the full-time employees the people picker works fine. No issue there. Here is my question though: they occasionally have temporary contract employees performing some of the functions, and of course they are not in ...

Unfortunately that is not an option. This form is already HUGE and very near the column limit in SharePoint. I can barely afford to add the 25 additional columns needed for 25 error codes. If I added the fields used just to filter the codes it will be 100 more (4 drop-downs x 25 slots for storing errors), which I know won't fit. :-( Other ...
