The other 2 interfaces of InfoPath to Sharepoint: 1. Worthy of discussion and note, this workaround is only necessary when using form library to house form in SharePoint. Yes, I've had to do the old people picker to hidden text field then workflow to copy to person/group item in list, as discribed in above referenced link. If any of my dogmatic statements prove false I will bow to enlightened/workable opinion and gratefully give honor to truthsayers. I truely hope that this wordy explanation helps someone who is struggling with this issue. A rather clunky and inelligant solution, but it works nonetheless. What I did to workaround the issue is to have 9 people/group items in the form/list, which I itteratively use filetering on, which gives me a working solution. So filtering from a single column with a group of names, or to a groupname *won't work* at this time in SharePoint. In this particular instance, I started with a SharePoint custome list, then built an infopath sharepoint list form for it.Īs such the people/group columns that existed in the list populated the form just fine, and there is *catagorically* no need to tweak any of the property settings of said people/group items inside infopath.Īs I said in my second posting on this thread, the point is *moot* because even if I can enable a person/group field to contain multiple values, when said column is populated with multiple values inside SharePoint, the filter does not allow for "contains"įilter. In the complex relationship between SharePoint and Infopath, the specifics of the interelationships of details is rather um complex. The rub seems to be syntax of last, first 1last, 1first etc.

I have noticed that the people pickers seem to have no problem with a single preloaded name. I would much rather preload the people picker with a SharePoint group name, to the end that anyone in the group would satisfy the filter in the list after form is submitted. This whole convoluted process is a workaround to another problem.

If I interactively input the identical text manually into the people picker and click the check box, the function works properly. What is happening is whatever text I preload shows up red underlined. What I'm trying to do is preload the text of multiple user names, or account names in such a fasion that it will be accepted by the people picker when the rule fires. The 3 fields in question are people pickers. Each choice has an action rule that sets a field down the form a bit.

I have a dropdown at top of my browser form with 3 choices.
