Store Xpath infopath value on a sharepoint form

Hello all,
I am very new in SharePoint and InfoPath and I am struggling storing a xpath date value on an "Incident tracker" form.
Basically, the form works in the following way:
An issue/incident occurs
If the incident is new, an incident form is filled up.
If not, an existent incident is opened and updated, which is set up to print the date (Xpath value) on a part of the form.
Is there a way I can store that date value on a list or something so we can delimitate and export what incidents have occurred between two dates?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I think thats not related to my question... because that will give me the xpath value of a field once a click a button, but I am not asking for that.
What I would like to achieve is to store the Xpath date value generated every time an existent incident is amended in a variable, such as an array or list, so i can then short the incidents raised on a specific date period (between two dates).
Is that possible?

  • 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.

  • Powershell script to update a field value (recursively) in sharepoint form a .CSV file and not changing the updated by value

    need to run through a list of old to new data (.csv) file and change them in a sharepoint list - can not make it work
    here is my base attempt.
    $web = Get-SPWeb site url
    $list = $web.lists["List Name"]
    $item = $list.items.getitembyid(select from the items.csv old)

    $ite.Syste,Update($false);
    $web.Dispose()

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that  you want to update SharePoint field value from a CSV file recursively.
    We can import CSV file using the Import-CSV –path command, then update the field value in the foreach loop.
    Here is a code snippet for your reference:
    Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    $csvVariable= Import-CSV -path "http://sp2010.contoso.com/finance/"
    # Destination site collection
    $WebURL = "http://sp2010.contoso.com/sites/Utility/"
    # Destination list name
    $listName = "Inventory"
    #Get the SPWeb object and save it to a variable
    $web = Get-SPWeb -identity $WebURL
    #Get the SPList object to retrieve the list
    $list = $web.Lists[$listName]
    #Get all items in this list and save them to a variable
    $items = $list.items
    #loop through csv file
    foreach($row in $csvVariable)
    #loop through SharePoint list
    foreach($item in $items)
    $item["ID #"]=$row."ID #"
    $item.Update()
    $web.Dispose()

  • InfoPath Cannot Save The Following Form - SharePoint 2013

    I've setup my SharePoint 2013 farm to allow to support InfoPath Services, however when I try to publish a form I keep getting the following error:
    InfoPath cannot save the following form: https://pathto.com/form/library/file.xsn
    Network Problems are preventing this file from being saved. If this problem persists, contact your network administrator.
    I've confirmed there's no firewall between my Windows 8.1 workstations (where I'm running InfoPath 2013 from) and the Windows Server 2012 server that's hosting the SharePoint 2013 farm. Any insight would be much appreciated.

    Hi,
    I recommend to verify the things below:
    Check if the WebClient service is started. If not, start the WebClient service.
    Use another user account to publish the InfoPath form to see how it works.
    Check if the form library is a valid library in the browser. If not, publish the form to a valid library.
    Check ULS log for detailed error message.

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

  • InfoPath File Attachment, After the form is ReadOnly the Attachment cant be opened anymore! *Fatal*

    Hello Everbody,
    well, you know it and everybody should avoid it. You have some huge amout of Test Cases and all go well, so you declare a Project to "Production ready" and then you found out something doesnt work, like happen now at my side.
    We have a InfoPath Form, which is beeing used as Template in a SharePoint Form Library. We have also a Nintex Workflow which asked different People to "approve" or "reject" a form if a new one was submitted. All that works now like a charm BUT, we have also a Field in the Form where you can Add Attachments. Its the Regular "File Attacment" of the "File and Picture" Design Task Window from InfoPath in Designer Mode. So nothing spezial coded or something like that.
    As long a user has Write permissions, he can open those Attachments which are included in the Form (like they should), but in the moment the User has only 'Read' Permissions he CANT Read the Attachment anymore... no iam in a huge mess, its not absolut cirital But the biggest Problem at my ToDo List now so i would be really happy if someone can tell me there is a way out of this situation instead of (and so i think) this isnt a bug/problem - its a feature (you know those sentences...).
    We cant give everbody just their Write Permissions back of those file because they are 'finally' approved and should only be archived for later reviews if needed. But therefore its good to let those reviewer read those Attachments to.

    btw. i've found some information about this isue, and it seems that i am right - its a Feature , not a bug ...
    i have to set every Item in my ReadOnly view to "read only", disable all options to the user to edit something and then uncheck the ReadOnly Attribute of the View self. If i also uncheck the permission for the viewing user to add/delete Attachment he can still open the attachments.
    BUT, what about Checkboxes ? And Drop Down 's ?
    Okay, all drop down windows kann be replaced by normal textboxes with the same Data Source, but what about Check Boxes? There is no option to make it Read Only "in reference" of the current view. Now, i could easly (maybe, only theoretical) create a function which writes into a field the current Viewname and makes all Checkboxes ReadOnly if the View has a proper name. The Problem, in the second the user is opening the form the old value of the "View" Field was (for example) German View, so the function is replacing this text with "ReadOnly" which means the user HAS changed already something on the Form. If he no tries to close the form - he will be asked if he want save those changes (which he cant because he has only ReadOnly permissions on the file) but instead of saving those Changes it generates a NEW submitted Form which is a fallout in this szenario.
    So what now ? Any tipps ?

  • 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.

  • Query on InfoPath based solution for SharePoint 2013 O365

    We are working on a Lotus Notes to SharePoint 2013 – O365 migration project. In that we have bunch of applications with list forms that requires UI customization using InfoPath to show the large number of columns in a tabular format / various sections /

  • Multi-Valued Properties in XML Forms

    Hello,
    Can anyone tell me how to select multiple values for multi-valued properties in an XML Forms. It seems that the combo box only allows you to select one value.
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Hi Chris,
    nice to hear, that you're implementing my way of solving this multi value issue. And much nicer to hear, that it seems to work for you, too!
    You can not write back your multi value properties from XML form. Thats for sure. You can think of:
    1. Synchronize the value of your text field property with the value of the multi value propery whenever you store the document. This could be done using the event "property set".
    <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/5d0ab890-0201-0010-849d-98d70bd1d5f0">See: KM Events</a>
    2. Overwrite the content of your multi value property at runtime, depending on the value of the single value property which holds the csv. Do this by using a Repository Filter. <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70ee3a57-0701-0010-3e9a-ddae7e4e0521">See: RepositoryFilter</a>
    3. Forget about the multi value property and make the text field property indexable. This should work, too.
    All three options should work!

  • Infopath cannot save the following form - this document library was either renamed or deleted

    Hi there,
    I'm working in InfoPath 2013, using a remote desktop connection to a Windows 7 machine publishing to an on-prem SharePoint 2013 server.
    When creating my form, I go to publish it to a form library and get the following error:
    InfoPath cannot save the following form http://myformlocationandname This document library was either renamed or deleted, or network problems are preventing the file from being saved. If this problem persists, please contact your network administrator
    I've tried updating a library, creating a new library, but neither work. I can however, edit a list and customise the form to then publish back without a problem.
    If anyone could offer any advice, I'd be very grateful! :-)
    Thanks very much,

  • Calculation of values in a dunning form (SAP Script)

    Hi Experts!
    I want to add values to a sum (dunning-amount + dunning-fee + interest) in a dunning form (SAP Script; Z150_DUNN_02).Therefore I'm using a subroutine (Z_FI_KX_DUNN_02_INTEREST) to summarize. Problem is the format of the output-field &Z_FAEBT&. It's not similar to field &MHNK-FAEBT& which was formerly printed (without calculation of interest and dunning-fees.
    /:   DEFINE &Z_FAEHW& := &MHNK-FAEHW&                 
    /:   DEFINE &Z_ZINHW& := &MHNK-ZINHW&                 
    /:   DEFINE &Z_MHNGH& := &MHNK-MHNGH&                 
    /:   DEFINE &Z_FAEBT& := &MHNK-FAEBT&                 
    /:   PERFORM ZFAEBT IN PROGRAM Z_FI_KX_DUNN_02_INTEREST
    /:   USING &Z_FAEHW&                                  
    /:   USING &Z_ZINHW&                                  
    /:   USING &Z_MHNGH&                                  
    /:   CHANGING &Z_FAEBT&                               
    /:   ENDPERFORM                                       
    /:   ENDIF                                            
    A3   &MHNK-WAERS& &Z_FAEBT(C)&       
    It would be fine to get a hint how to format the field &Z_FAEBT& correctly. Must be done in the subroutine Z_FI_KX_DUNN_02_INTEREST by a special WRITE-command? Is it possible to add these values only in the form?
    Thanks for support!

    Hi,
    How to get Document Set property values in a SharePoint library into a CSV file using Powershell?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    AA.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to you want to get document set property value in a SharePoint library and then export into a CSV file using PowerShell.
    I suggest you can get the document sets properties like the PowerShell Command below:
    [system.reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.sharepoint")
    $siteurl="http://sp2013sps/sites/test"
    $listname="Documents"
    $mysite=new-object microsoft.sharepoint.spsite($siteurl)
    $myweb=$mysite.openweb()
    $list=$myweb.lists[$listname]
    foreach($item in $list.items)
    if($item.contenttype.name -eq "Document Set")
    if($item.folder.itemcount -eq 0)
    write-host $item.title
    Then you can use Export-Csv PowerShell Command to export to a CSV file.
