In this InfoPath video tutorial, you learned…
- How to add a data connection to a SharePoint list to an InfoPath form template.
- How to bind a repeating table to a Receive data connection of a SharePoint list (secondary data source).
- How to use the current() function to select data from a row in a repeating table.
- How to use conditional formatting and the userName() function to select only those SharePoint tasks that have been assigned to the current user.
- How to use rules to copy data from a secondary data source of a SharePoint list to fields in a new row in a repeating table.
- How to use conditional formatting to hide an empty row in a repeating table.
This solution is a sequel to the article Display SharePoint Tasks assigned to the current user in InfoPath and to the video Auto-populate InfoPath repeating table row on insert.
This solution presents a way to use rules (instead of code) to copy data from a repeating table bound to a secondary data source to a repeating table in the Main data source of an InfoPath form. If you want to use code, see Programmatically copy rows from a SharePoint list to a repeating node in the Main data source in InfoPath.
Data from a secondary data source is not stored in InfoPath forms, so the ability to copy data from a secondary data source to fields in the Main data source of an InfoPath form is particularly handy if you want to store data with an InfoPath form.
