Infopath form – drop down field not updating with new values

Posted on May 11, 2013February 19, 2015 by Iain 'Cutty' Carlin

This one had me stumped for days. Infopath form with drop down field populated by internal values in the drop-down.

I needed to add one option, which I did and uploaded the form. I could see the version number updating on the form (I display that as a field) but the drop-down wouldn’t change!

Turns out I had a read-only and updatable versions of the form. The read-only version is displayed after the form has been submitted. I was editing the read-only version not the editable one that gets filled in. Doh!
