Unable to change and re-publish existing InfoPath forms on External SharePoint lists (SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Online and On Premise)

Hi everybody,
I really reached the limit of my diagnostic ability... ...please help me!!!!
I subscribed an Online Sharepoint 2013 Development site to try Business Connectivity Services and InfoPath forms. Using SharePoint Designer 2013 I successfully created an external content type
and an external list, including InfoPath forms.
When I use InfoPath Designer 2013 to customize the forms I can open and change them without any problems, but when I try to publish the changes I made I get the following error:
"An error has occurred. The form template has been published to the server but it can only be opened using InfoPath filler"
(please note that I changed just an existing label, without adding any new control or new fields).
If I try to do exactly the same things but with an normal SharePoint list everything works like a charm!
I noted that the main difference between the internal/external list is that with the internal list the publishing path in InfoPath 2013 is something like:
https://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>
 whereas for the external list is something like the following:
 https://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>/item/template.xsn
Trying to overcome the problem I installed SharePoint 2013 Enterprise on premise using the VM from the Windows Azure Gallery. In this case the error I get when I try to publish with InfoPath
Designer 2013 is the following:
 The following URL is not valid:
http://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>/item/template.xsn
and of course everything works fine with InfoPath Designer 2013 and regular SharePoint lists.
Even if I believe the problem is in general with external list and InfoPath, my external list is based on a the "Product" table from the "AdventureWorks2012" sample database
installed on SQL Azure and connected to SharePoint via Business Connectivity Services.
A big
thanks in advance to anyone who is able to
provide useful information to solve the problem!!!
Regards,
Fabio

Hi Folks,
Same issue here for any external list. We've migrated from 2010 to 2013 - it used to be fine on 2010. 2013 seems hang after 'getting site column information' then nothing. All effected users can quick publish to regular sharepoint lists, but cannot to external
lists.
In our situation we are trying to quick publish to sites using the 2010 look and feel in a 2013 environment. using SharePoint Designer 2013 and InfoPath 2013.

  • Unable to publish a Infopath Form

    help

    Hello,
    Is there any promoted field in infopath form? Please verify from files--> form options-->click on property promotion from left hand. If you see any field then it seems problem with column.
    Another thing is, if your form is deploy as content type earlier then you need to verify this first. Because template.xsn is indicate that you had published your form directly to library.
    Also tell if you have backup of earlier template in network location or not.
    Refer this link for more info:

  • 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).
    For this i seen that when we publish it through the publishing wizard it creates a new form library on the sharepoint site and then publish the form in this form library, so as same i want to do this by code.
    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.

    Thanks for your reply, I have uploaded the infopath from in form library by code as:

    site = new
    SPSite("http://sharepoint
    site/"))
    using (SPWeb
    myWeb = site.OpenWeb())
    //Test3 is library's name, in which we want to upload the InfoPath form
    SPList docLib = myWeb.Lists["Test3"];Stream
    fileStream = System.IO.File.Open(@"c:\desktop\Testform.xsn",System.IO.FileMode.Open);
    myWeb.Files.Add("test3/testform.xsn",
    fileStream);
    docLib.Update();

  • I am having issues with 360 degree rotation, I have an iPhone 5 and ios 6.0.2. I have read alot about this issue online and I found out that my issue is software. I want to know if and when apple will fix this issue?

    I am having issues with 360 degree rotation, I have an iPhone 5 and ios 6.0.2. I have read alot about this issue online and I found out that my issue is software. I want to know if and when apple will fix this issue?

    I had the same experience with a new iPhone 5 that I bought  last week. Did not have a chance to measure battery life before the 6.0.2 upgrade installed but I set up my phone exactly like my 4S and immediately started running out of power after short periods. Went to Xmas get together with fully charged 5 and 4S. Heading home the iPhone 5 shut down for low battery and the 4S had 65% power. Both phones had two half phone calls on then and no data usage.
    That night I fully charged the iPhone 5 and, without lighting it up, put it on my night table. Next morning I picked it up and looked at battery indicator and I had 42% charge with NO activity!
    Tried it again next night and wound up with 37% charge. (Slept longer).
    Today I called the carrier and reactivated the 4S.  Took the 5 to Apple Store and they kindly gave me choice of new replacement phone or refund. I took the refund. Uniquely, the Apple Store said it was Verizon CDMA phones that were coming back.
    The are other strings on this with temporary solutions, but from my experience with 7 firmware changes on an HTC 4G phone the problem will continue because the solution will be hardware caused. We are in the days where RTM means Rush to Market - not Release To Manufacturing.
    I fear the only solution is to either wait for the next model (I did not notice a really major change in performance over the 4S in LTE heavy Seattle area) - or switch to another manufacturer.
    It might be useful for these forums to indicate if you have a GSM or CDMA phone to see which have more problems.
    Discouraged....

    Hello Together,
    we have some simple InfoPath forms in place. With SharePint 2007 they are working well. Now we will move to SharePoint 2013.
    It was easy to re-publish them on a SharePoint 2013 Site and to work with, but i have an optical / technical error and i don't find the solution.
    We use Text Boxes to collect the data from the user. After the user has filled the form we will submit them via mail.
    I will you show you the problem.
    on SharePoint 2007 --> it looks okay
    on SharePoint 2013 --> not okay - the Text Box is shrinked to the text Size and the design is defect
    How can i prevent this?
    Thanks in advance

  • Modify Existing InfoPath Forms Programmatically

    Greetings,
    I have a SharePoint library of approximately 1,000 InfoPath documents. The data types of several columns were changed. Now the columns are blank since their values are read from fields within the InfoPath document. Is there away to programmatically open,
    save and close each individual document so the column values appear in the library rather than doing so manually?
    Thank you for your help.

    Hello,
    If i understood you correctly, you have SP list and there are some records. Now you want to open your infopath form when clicks on add new item in the same list. I am still confuse about "from table 'Account'" this line. Are you saying that you are fetching
    records from SQL table to PS list?
    Anyway, you can modify the existing list form infopath so you could be able to open the infopath form instead of default newform.aspx page. Later you can create a new data connection in that customize form to display data in table format from same list.
    You can follow this video for connection:

  • Open Infopath form from external place

    Hello,
    could you please to help to found solution with my task -
    i have my custom list in SP 2013 corporate site.
    i made i infopath forms to add new, edit and modify list's items. 
    when i click on edit or title item it is ok, infopath form opened in web broser as new modal window like ifs template.
    currently if an item is changed the workflow send a message to last "modified" user with some text and kink to change item again if it need. but my link doesn't working as i want.
    i want to have hyperlink to open the same editifs.asx form as if it opening by clicking edit field button for item directly my list. (in modal popup window)
    form template stored in the same list http://.../teams/it/Lists/2/Item/template.xsn
    i want to send a hyperlink to open form

    so... normally the link should always reference a READ / VIEW of the item... the decision to EDIT the item should be a second click...
    with that in mind, you shouldn't link to EditIFS.aspx, but rather just tell SP to open the item (read mode) in the browser... which can be accomplished with the OpenIn=Browser URL parameter

  • Some fields from InfoPath form not showing up in Sharepoint

    I created an InfoPath form containing a checklist that sends data to an InfoPath document library in Sharepoint 2010.
    Most of the fields that I have linked to the sharepoint transfer their data just fine, but 2 of the fields come out blank in SharePoint.
    I have attempted the following fixes to no avail:
    Created site column and linked to it
    Deleted column and had Infopath create a column in the library
    The fields are not identically formatted either.  Both are single item drop down lists, one is populated by an external data source (sharepoint list) and the other has manual list values.  Both fields have other fields in the form that are formatted
    identically and work just fine.
    help!

    Do the choice items match up in the form to the options available in the list?

  • On button click of Infopath forms select multi select list box values...

    Hi,
    We have multi select list box on one of the info path forms. We have placed on button on this form. If user clicks on this button we want to select some of the values in Multi select list box (check box).
    Is it possible if yes how can we achieve it?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Amit Chhatbar

    Hi Amit,
    From your description, you would like to check items in a multi-selection box when a button is clicked.
    I’d recommend you make use of rules in InfoPath form, i.e. when button is clicked, then set a field’s value.
    However, if you are using multi-selection box, then you could only set the value of one item at a time. If you want to select several items at once, then we could use code. For more information:
    http://www.bizsupportonline.net/blog/2009/07/understanding-multiple-selection-list-box-infopath/
    http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2007/programmatically-select-all-items-multi-select-list-box.htm
    If you are using several check boxes to replace multi-selection box, then it will be more easy. The rule could be that when this button is clicked, set a field’s value (check box field) to true and repeat it.

  • Migrate Infopath forms from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010

    Hi,
    Please provide help
    Migrate infopath 2007 forms in MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010

    How many forms do you have that needs to migrate from 2007 to 2010?
    You can also open the 2007 forms in Designer mode of InfoPath 2010, save as 2010 filler or browser.
    You need to make sure data connections are updated to point to new sites/document libraries/lists etc.
    Any custom code that may contain data connections should be updated.
    Inspect Rule Inspector to see if you find any connections hardcoded anywhere.
