Column in SharePoint form library is not editable

HI All,
I have Infopath form library with c# code template. After successful publish, few column in form library cannot be editable, How to make them as editable? thanks!
Here "Change Applied to" column not able to edit, but i need to change its name.

Hi,
From your description, I know you want to edit a document name.
By default, InfoPath published fields do not allow editing of data types. One can allow users to edit and update the metadata structure from the form library, only if it is allowed when the form gets published to the library. you need to allow users to change
the data type. You could refer to this article:

InfoPath Field Promoted to SharePoint Form Library Cannot Edit

Greetings,
I have an InfoPath 2013 form with a field named "Form Stage". It's purpose is to maintain a process stage that is subsequently used by a SharePoint Designer 2013 workflow.
When the "Form Stage" field is not promoted to the column in the form library, my workflow is able to access and change the field value. However, when I promote the InfoPath field to the SharePoint form library field, the workflow is unable
to change that field's value?
Does this sound correct?
My goal is to create a state machine type process where the form and workflow work together based on the stage it is in. What is the best practice approach for accomplishing this?
Thank you!

Hi,
you just have to change your promoted fields in InfoPath to "allow for editing in SharePOint."
Go re-publish the form template, and when you get to the stage where you promote columns, you'll need to click on each field individually and check the box at the bottom that allows them to be edited in SharePoint. Then, your SPD workflows will be able
to update the fields, but be aware that users will also be able to edit the fields without opening the form itself. Because of this, I typically set my columns to be "hidden" in the content type so that they show in the views but not on the
properties page.

Publishing a text box to be multiple lines of text in SharePoint Form Library

Hello
I have some text boxes on an InfoPath form which is then published to a SharePoint form library. However, when the form creates columns in the form library, some of the text boxes are being published as Single Line of Text which then cuts off some of the
text as users can type more the 255 characters in the text box.
My question is how can I make sure that the form publishes the field as a multiple line of text instead? Some of the boxes did this by default but there are others that did not and I am missing text on them.
Thanks

When you add the control to the form, choose the Multi Line of text option instead of the single line of text option, if you are unsure, when you add the control to the form, right click it and select properties, from here you can change the data type
from single line of text to multi line of text.

Hi,
In SharePoint 2013, we can take use of REST API or Client Object Model to access the SharePoint objects like Form Library.

With the retrieved file, we can then use XmlDocument object to parse it and get the values you want:

Hi Steven,
"order" is one of MySQL´s "reserved words", means you´ll have to rename this column to something else.

Adobe Interactive Form text field not editable

Hello,
I created an Adobe Form using transaction SFP and placed a textfield on the body page.
I then created a Web Dynpro application using SE80, placed Interactive Form container on the view. I also checked the flag 'Enabled' and provided the templateSource as my Adobe Form name.
When I test the WD application, the text field is not editable.
Can you please advise what needs to be done?
Thanks

How to programmatically publish an Infopath form to sharepoint form library

Hi all,
I am in trouble because i am trying to find out a solution in C# by which i can publish my infopath form (without any help of publishing wizard in InfoPath form).

I have created a code which creates a form library on sharepoint site but i am unable to publish my infopath form in it because i didn't find any method for publish in C#.for this I searched on google(blogs and forums etc..).I have found only upload method
but i want publish method.
Thanks in advance.

LabVIEW support library does not edit!!

I've created a support library using the new project manager in LV 8.
When including the support library in my project, I can edit the
support library. But, if I open the support library directly and try to
edit it (add VIs, etc.), the changes do not save. My colleague
duplicated the behavior. It is either a bug or a serious
misunderstanding on how the project manager works. Am I missing
something??

Hello!
I tried this out, but had no problems with editing the library within the Project Explorer or editing it directly. Changes will be safed in both cases. Maybe you changed to different libraries with the same name. You can check this out by checking the libraries path under the properties of the library (right click on the library).
Following a link for more information on LabView Project Libraries:

InfoPath form load rule is not checking all the rows in form library

Hi,
Requirement:
We have a form library named "HR Annual Review". In the InfoPath form we have two buttons "Save" and "Submit". User is allowed to Save multiple times and only once using Submit button. The file name of form library "HR
Annual Review" will be stored in the format “<username>+<mm>+<dd>+<yy>.xml”. Say for example, an user named Mike Walt submitted a form then the file name will be as “MikeWalt012314.xml”. If the same user (Mike Walt)
submits the form and tries to open the form for subsequent edit, then we need to show a view which has an error info saying “The Appraisal is already submitted for the current appraisal cycle”.
Solution we tried:
To achieve the above requirement, we tried using InfoPath Form Load and add a rule to check whether the combination of current user name and the year already exists in the filename column of the form library. But the rule we applied is not checking all the
rows in the form library. The rule is always checking the first row of the form library.
What we need:
We need the validation using InfoPath rule or some other way/solution to check whether the combination of current login username and current year file already exists in the form library.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Srivignesh,
Submit button Uses the Main Data connection to submit the data to the list. This is what you are using and naming the file in the format. You can create secondary data submit that will update the exiting item in the list. With this, you don't have to create
any rules to check all the rows which is also not possible in OOB InfoPath.
Once you have the two data connection, hide the toolbar from the form and display these two on the button. For The Submit button, apply the rule to hide the button if created by is not empty. For Save button, apply the rule to hide the button if Created
By is empty. This way, when a new form is created, you will see the Submit button, and when the user have to update the form, they will see Save button. Hope it help.s

Hi
ank89 ,
Please take steps as below:
Create a Form using SharePoint Form Library template.
After customizing the form , click File ->Publish -> SharePoint Server -> save the form -> in the Publishing Wizard page input your site URL -> provide your authentication account.
Check “Enable this form to be filled out by using a browser” and Form Library.
Select your Form Library and edit the Form Library field , then Publish it and you will get what you want.
