Ive spent just about all of my day doing what should be simple i think. I have a drop down list (list1) in an infopath 2010 form that pulls from a SharePoint list. How do I filter another SharePoint list based on the currently selected item (from list1).

To be honest I cant even set a textbox to the current value of list1. I understand how to filter and add rules to infopath

You have to use filters. It isn't difficult to do, it just requires a lot of steps. Here are a couple examples:

  • Finally got it. The problem was, I was query a SharePoint list without using a field in my workflow. I guess it wasnt storing the value anywhere. This meant I wasnt able to use it as a filter.
