Refresh field data from SP server

Hello.

I'm new to InfoPath and all I did was to modify a form that belongs to a SharePoint List. One of the modifications I've made is to manually enter choices for a combo-box. After publishing it to the List, I realize that I'm missing more options to that choice field so I went back to the Site Columns (where the field resides) and updated it with the information I need.

The issue I'm facing now is that when I browse to the list and click on Customize Form on the Ribbon, after InfoPath opens I' missing the new values I've defined for the Site Column.

I didn't mess with data connections as I don't know how to use them and all I need is the form to pull data (refresh) from the SharePoint List the same way it did when I open the form for the first time in InfoPath, as the only way I can update that field right now is by edit the choice within InfoPath (that is what I'd like to avoid).

Any clue will be highly appreciated.

Hi  FerYo,

For refreshing field values in the InfoPath after you modify the field value in the UI, you can take steps as below:

  1. Open the form in the InfoPath.
  2. Click Refresh Fields under DATA tag.
  3. In the popup window, click Yes.


Best Regards,

Eric
