How to Pull Field Data from InfoPath Form into SharePoint List

Question

I am using SharePoint 2013 and InfoPath 2013. I have an existing SharePoint List that's populated by an existing InfoPath form. Currently, only a few fields that are from the form appear in the SharePoint list. Now, I want to add a few more columns from the form to appear in the SharePoint list. But do not know how to go about doing so. I was thinking to follow the steps below:

1. Open in Designer by using the SharePoint List URL in the Data Connection Wizard
2. Select the proper list
3. This is where I get stuck, because I do not want to modify the form I just want a few more fields from the form to appear as a column in the SharePoint list.

Can someone help me with the steps to have a few more form fields appear as columns in my SharePoint list?

Answer 1

You will need to promote those columns by re-publishing the form. As you step through the wizard for publishing your infopath form a dialog appears where you can choose which columns you want to appear as promoted columns on the SharePoint list.

You can see the steps here in this blog post: http://www.appvity.com/blogs/post/2013/06/16/How-to-configure-and-publish-InfoPath-to-SharePoint-2013.aspx

If the link goes away this is the dialog below taken from that post.
