I have an existing custom list in which I just added a drop-down required column. For new items, that column is required, but I want to gather only that column data from users for existing items without modifying other columns. Can it be possible via a custom InfoPath form? My current environment is MOSS 2007. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Ashish, your custom list forms are already customized through InfoPath?– Arsalan Adam KhatriDec 3, 2012 at 6:30

you want a column be required in edit form but optional in new form?
make a custom form template control and set contenttype editformtemplatename and newformtemplatename

We do not support customization in existing environment. The column will be required column in new and existing forms. I want to get this functionality via OOTB controls and methods. Re-iterating, I want to get the new column data from users for existing items.– AshishDec 3, 2012 at 5:58

1does SPD allowed? create a new form page by SPD, then custom it, remove other columns?– EricDec 3, 2012 at 10:00
In SharePoint 2010:
- Customize forms in InfoPath and put only DropDownList column in the form!
- List Settings -> Form Settings -> There is an option to use default forms or InfoPath form, make it to use default forms!
- Add a Link to InfoPath form with each ListItem using Calculated Column!
But I don't know if this is possible in SharePoint 2007, can you confirm if there is Form Settings option in List Settings?
