SharePoint Open "EditForm" in InfoPath

Question

I have SharePoint 2010 with InfoPath 2010 installed and both work as intended. I can open my DispForm in InfoPath by either clicking the button on the SharePoint website or the Design Forms in InfoPath button in SharePoint designer.

My question is, how do I open or edit an existing EditForm.aspx within InfoPath?

If I go to the SharePoint document list online and then click on List > Form Web Parts, I can open the (ITEM) Edit Form, but I need to open it in InfoPath.

Answer 1

I found the answer I was looking for. You CAN open these forms in InfoPath. What you need to do is Open your original Item DispForm in InfoPath. Then click on Page Design in the upper ribbon. Under the "View" change it to Edit Item or create a new view.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, The Customize form button is not available in SharePoint Online.

So you should first save a copy from the published template as (a working Copy) in your computer then open this working copy via InfoPath.

To Save a copy of the form template from a list to your computer, just

• Navigate to the your list, in the URL replace allitmes.aspx to /item/template.xsn
• This will ask you to save a template.> save it on your computer.
• Right click on the template.xsn and select Design to open your template via InfoPath.
• Do your changes and click save, that should reflect your changes directly to your form in SharePoint.
