Unable to paste to multiple fields in infopath 2010

Hello all,
I have been pounding my head against a lot of other sites to see if I can find the answer to this question. MY company has created a sharepoint for the sales team and in that SP they have created info path documents that contain
"packages". In the packages they have multiple fields like drop down boxes, text boxes, etc. The document comes with the ability to copy all the fields in one fell swoop and, in some cases, allows you to paste those fields in a newly created package.
All computers are up to date including the SP 2010 server. We are running Windows 7 64bit OS as well as Windows 8.1. This does not affect all machines. Only three so far.

Hi JimRHunter,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to copy InfoPath forms with multiple fields form from one library to aother library.
How did you do for the copy ability in the packages library?
For implementing your requirement , you can try to add a workflow in the packages library, the workflow contains the ‘Copy ListItem’ action. In the action, you can set it to copy current item to the goal libray. About this workflow, you can start it when
a new item is created or when an item is changed, and you can also set it to start manually. Once you start the workflow, the item will be copied to the goal library. Please have a try.
The workflow is like:
I hope this helps.

Disable text box on selecting a checkbox of multiple selection lookup field in infopath 2010

Hi
In edit mode of the form,
We have added one field in infopath which is lookup column and shows multiple selection chekboxes.
One of the option from that lookup checkbox list is "Other".
There is one textbox field which will be disabled by default.
We want to enable this text box on selection of "Other" from lookup field checkbox list.
Is it possible?
if yes how can we do this?

Hi Vyanky, I don't believe that's possible without some major functionality. The problem, as you probably know, is that it's a lookup with checkboxes. If it was added directly in InfoPath, then it wouldn't be an issue. You should consider adding "Other"
as a separate yes/no field instead. That way you'll be able to add an action rule to it to enable the text box.

Select MULTIPLE default values for a multiple selection list box based on another field in Infopath 2010

Hello there - Before I explain my issue, I would like to point out that I have reviewed some other discussions on selecting default values for multiple selection listbox. But my issue is specific and different, and not answered by any of the discussions
I visited.
I have a multiple selection list box (say for example all countries in the world as values), and I would like to pre-select or setup multiple default values (say five countries) based on some criteria that I query from MS SQL database table.
I know we can go to Data | Default Values option to setup one or many default values for multiple selection list box. When I enter the default values manually this works. I also right click the field under the Multiple-Selection List Box group, then select
Add another Value Below and set the Default Value for this field to setup multiple default values.
However, if I reference a field (either an infopath field or a field from SQL database) I am not able to setup multiple default values. Infopath automatically selects the last field I selected for all instances and in the end I am able to see only one
default value selected instead of many. How to fix this problem? Why would infopath allow multiple default values when we enter it manually but not when we reference some fields?
Please let me know if you need more info. Appreciate your help.
Thanks!

Hi redhotc,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set multiple default values for a multiple checkbox list in InfoPath form.
I did a test with SQL database table. I set three default values for the checkbox list by adding three values field under the group field(Data->Default values), each value field is for a default value. Then publish it to my SharePoint site, everything
was fine.Please have a try as the below link:
http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2010/pre-select-items-multiple-selection-list-box-infopath-2010.htm
Note: if you are using SQL databse table, you may need to enable ‘Allow cross-domain data access for user form templates that use connection settings in a data connection file’ in CA. More information, please refer to:

Why does text field in InfoPath 2010 show user name with two commas between first name and last?

Here's the problem. I have a text field called Manager in an InfoPath 2010 form that is getting populated by a drop down field called
Business Unit.
The Business Unit drop-down field is pulling information from
column A in a custom list via a managed data connection. The custom List has two columns:
Title & Manager.
The Manager column in the custom list is a 'Person or Group' type column.
The Data Connection pulls both the Title, Manager
(and ID) data.
There is a rule on the Business Unit drop-down field to change the value of the
Manager text field with the Manager data on the custom list. The rule pulls the
Manager information and filters the value to match the
Business Unit on the Data Connection with the Business Unit drop-down
field value (Main).
The Business Unit drop-down field works great and pulls the value from the custom list, and the rule populates the Manager text field. The problem is that Manager text field shows the name as such:
[smith,, john]. Notice the two commas between the last and first name. There should only be
one comma!
Anyone have an idea why the text field is appearing with two commas?
Arnel

Hi all,
I have a workaround for this. I have an InfoPath 2010 form pulling data from a SP2010 list. The user chooses a System (Business Unit) from the dropdown list and that choice auto populates the associated user (Manager) for that system. I had to
use concatenation, substring before and substring after to display the correct data.
concat(substring-before(DisplayName, ",, "), ", ", substring-after(DisplayName, ",, "))
DisplayName is the original data for the field. I am able to cut & paste this field into the formula. Therefore, I added a few spaces to separate it from the actually formula for future use.
Select Insert Function
Select concat
Select the first link to double-click to insert field
and then select Insert Function
Select the Text category and choose substring-before
Select the third link to double-click to insert field
and then select Insert Function
Select the Text category and choose substring-after
Copy and paste your fieldname (in my case DisplayName) in the
double-click to insert field
parts of the substring-before and substring-after links.
Delete the middle double-click to insert field link
Add quotes, spaces and commas so that they match the following format:
concat(substring-before(DisplayName, ",, "), ", ", substring-after(DisplayName,
Translation:
concat(substring-before(Doe,, John, ",, "), ", ", substring-after(Doe,,
John, ",, "))
Bring together all of the text before ",," (i.e. Doe) with ", " (comma, space) and all text after ",," (i.e. John).
It should return
Doe, John.
I hope this makes sense. I have these instructions with screenshots if you need them, contact me.

Ok, here is how you have to do , use expression as I mentioned in my previous post, and then use a condition like this
(../my:group1/my:field1 = string(true()) and ../my:group2/my:field4 = string(false()) and my:field6 = string(false())) or
(../my:group1/my:field1 = string(false()) and ../my:group2/my:field4 = string(true()) and my:field6 = string(false())) or
(../my:group1/my:field1 = string(false()) and ../my:group2/my:field4 = string(false()) and my:field6 = string(true()))
here I am checking for all three fields, if either of these is true then it will hide other section
Hope this helps!

Copy/paste of multiple fields in form to eg. Wordpad

Does anyone know if it is possible to mark more than one screen field in a form so that ctrl-C ctrl-V can be used to copy all the information in one single operation to a text editor outside the Forms environment.

Not with Copy Paste - however the normal way of doing this kind of thing is to write some kind of Export Function which writes the data in all the fields into a suitable file - usually something line a CSV file using Text_IO.

Unable to generate a multiple field nVision report from a layout

Hi,
I have developed an nVision layout that lists the Budget Vs Actuals for specific Account nodes from an Account tree and works well . But as per the requirement, I am needed to include a second chartfield (CLASS_FIELD) in the report. In other words, the report needs to show the Budget Vs Actual amounts for all the Class Fields associated with each Account. For this , I have added column criteria for Budget and Actuals, and row criteria for Accounts , but I am stuck at adding the second Chartfield criteria at the row level , which is CLASS_FLD (for example, Labor and Other); i.e On the same row that I added ACCOUNT criteria, I have added additional Field in the Layout Defintion > Filter > Fields and Dimensions – added CLASS_FLD after ACCOUNT. When I run the report, the results show only the breakdown by Account but not with the additional Class field values.
I am aware we could achieve this by a Drilldown but the users are looking this in the original layout itself. Please advise. thank you!!

Hi Mr.Bob,

Using jquery to user only allow numbers in single line text field with infopath 2010 form

Please provide me right solution for the same.
I have already used below script, but this is not working
<script type="text/javascript">
   $(document).ready(function () {
var input = document.getElementById('ctl00_m_g_85322960_0783_4665_a3e7_41708ddd7c1c_FormControl0_V1_I1_T3');
input.onkeydown = function(e) {
    //var k = e.which;
    /* numeric inputs can come from the keypad or the numeric row at the top */
     if (e.shiftKey || e.ctrlKey || e.altKey) {
e.preventDefault();
} else {
var key = e.keyCode;
if (!((key == 8) || (key == 46) || (key >= 35 && key <= 40) || (key >= 48 && key <= 57) || (key >= 96 && key <= 105))) {
e.preventDefault();
</script>

Hi,
As Matt mentioned, it is OK to change field type to number if you want only number can be entered in the textbox. If you want to treat them as string in the backend, you can use CONVERT function to change its data type in the code.
If you insist on jquery, try to change condition paremeter in IF to:
key >
31 &&
(key <
47 ||
key > 57)
The order number of numbers (0 ~ 9) is from 48 to 57 (in Dec).

Using msxsl:node-set as a function to a field in InfoPath 2010

I have been trying to query a node set (from a web service - managed metadata web service infact) without success. I received a GetTermSetsResult that I am trying to parse as an xml using msxsl:node-set().    Currently I am just throwing
up messages about the expression result in a form load rule.   I just get empty node sets. Note that I have even tried querying the xml string directly like in the examples below but the behavior is always the same.
some examples of what I have tried that give empty nodesets:
msxsl:node-set('<Container><TermStore>...'))/Container/TermStore
msxsl:node-set('<Container><TermStore>...'))/Container
msxsl:node-set('<Container><TermStore>...'))/*
These give the following results:
count(msxsl:node-set('<Container><TermStore>...'))) ---> reports "1"
count(msxsl:node-set('<test>...</test><test>...</test>'))) ---> reports "1" when it should say "2"
msxsl:node-set('<Container><TermStore>...'))/node()   ---> returns what looks like the entire xml document
Ultimately I want to populate a listbox with managed metadata (taxonomy/folksonomy) terms in a "codeless" way. I know it is a no brainer to use code behind but where I work they like to see minimum code.

Hello mohrr,
The PCIe-6321 doesn't have internal triggers you you have to export the signals to a PFI line ant the use the signal as external trigger.
If you are not very familiar about how to do that, here you can find two documents that can give you an idea about how does it work.

How do I move multiple fields from the end of the document to another section?

For some reason when I click Cntrl+V, it pastes the multiple fields at the end of my form rather than at the point of paste within the document.

Select all of the fields that you wish to copy then use Ctrl-C. Scroll to the part of the form where you want to paste the copied fields. Select the field that you want the paste to occur after (ie, the pasted fields will appear after/below the selected field) and use Ctrl-V.

Set focus on item that selected in multiple-selection list box field in infopath

Hi
I have multiple-selection list box field in infopath that have for example 40 items. (I customize sharepoint list with infopath),then
publish infopath form in to sharepoint list. users want to add new item,when they selected or checked each item in multiple selection list box, after that automatically control focus on first item, but I want to focus remain on that item
I was selected. Why this happen?! I also set postback settings to “never” in multiple-selection list box properties. But didn’t work.
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to find several columns based on user selection of checkboxes in one of the Multiple-selection List Box.
I recommend to customize the form to concatenate values from choice field (with multiple values) into single line text box, and then hide the fields based on the text box value.
We can follow the steps as following:
Add a text box control(filed 3) on the form to hold the value selection in the multiple selection list box.
Set the default value for the text box control as
substring-after(eval(eval(Value, 'concat(., ";")'), ".."), ";")
(you need to change the ‘Value’ in the formula to your multiple selection list box name: filed1).
Add the conditional formatting on the flied: flied 3 does not contain value (you need to change the ‘Value’ in the formula to your multiple selection list box value.).
In addition, you can add Formatting action to hide the text box control.
Here are the result screenshots for you to take a look at:

Selecting Multiple fields from fillable form in Adobe Reader

I created a form in Adobe Pro, and want to be able to select multiple fields to cut and paste the results in other parts of the form.
Does anyone know of a way to do this?
I would appreciate any help! Thankyou

Go to Form Edit mode, and then you can select multiple fields either in the Fields list, or on the page itself (using Ctrl), or by holding down the mouse and dragging the selection square over them. Then just Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V in the other page, and you'll get copies.
Edit: This can only be done in Acrobat, though. Your title talks about Reader but you post is about Acrobat...

Apply Script to multiple fields

I have a form with multiple fields that will contribute to a total. Is there a way to have script apply to multiple fields that will auto update the totals, instead of scripting a separate exit event for each field.
Thank you

Create a Script Object. In that object, you can have a function like this:
function addMyFields() // add values in the fields
var number1 = field1.rawValue;
var number2 = field2.rawValue; // and so on
var sumOp = number1 + number2; // + number3 + .... and so on
totalField.rawValue = sumOp; // display sum in total field
Paste the following code in the exit event of each field:
ScriptObjectName.addMyFields();
Let me know if it works for you.

Multiple fields on one line on an interview screen?

Hi
I need to implement an interview screen with lines on the form:
"Enter income for 2012 [inputfield] [income2011] [income2010]"
The user should be able to input the income for 2012 in an editable field and on the same line after the input field, two non editable fields should show the income for the previous years 2011 and 2010. These values are available from a database.
I am unable to find any hints on how to do this - when the fields are to be shown on the same line...
kind regards
Carsten

Having multiple fields on a single line cannot be configured in the screens file out-of-the-box. It sounds like something which could be done with a custom property though, so you'll need a technical person involved.
There's information in the OPA Developer's Guide about custom properties: http://docs.oracle.com/html/E38272_01/toc.htm (note that this is different to the OPM User's Guide).
