SharePoint Asked on November 30, 2021
I have saved InfoPath Form in a Form Library & also saved field values in separate columns, now I have retrieved one record in InfoPath Form 2013.
I’m trying to update Status columns value from New to old but unable to update that value.
Instead of updating it adds new record in Form Library.
I have tried to filter the record on button click, but not found any filter on button click.
My InfoPath Form Fields are-
Name : <People Picker> Control
Status: <textbox>
If you are using buttons as Submit
and Save
, you should modify your Submit Data Connection.
First create a field that will handle the File name of your form. Name this FileName
. Create a action rule either on form load or Submit
button. Take note that put in the Condition of the rule that if the field is blank then produce a file name value (It can be any format that you want). This condition will eliminate the creation of a new file name value after submission.
Now go to your Submit Data Connection, put in the FileName
field under File Name and check the "Allow overwrite if file exists".
Put a rule in Submit
and Save
button with your Submit Data Connection. The idea is that when creating new form, the FileName is still blank and still not saved. After submission, the FileName will not produce a new one but use the saved value. When Save
button is pressed, it will overwrite the existing form

There are two button in Ribbon of InfoPath Form Save
and Submit
.
Submit
button will always create a new list item in the document library whereas Save
button will update the existing form.
So, for the first time submission you should use Submit
button. Later, if any update is required in the existing form, click on Save
button instead of Submit
otherwise a new list item will be created.
