Let's say in an xml document I have parents and children defined as follows
(with children as sub-elements of a parent):
<parents>
<parent id="P1" name="Bob">
<child id="C1" name="Drew"/>
<child id="C2" name="Alice"/>
</parent>
....
</parents>
I have the schema for this document loaded in the data source pane, and I
want to create a form for it. I Repeating Table for all parents seems
appropriate. That works fine. But I don't like having the children as
repeating sections or tables as a part of the parent row. So what
alternatives do I have to enter the children?
I would like to have a second (separate) repeating table for the children.
Each row in this table would have a select box wherein the parent would be
selected from a drop-down list. Is there a way to make this work without
changing the schema? This gets to a root question, does the schema prevent
complete customization of forms?
I'm just learning InfoPath, so please be kind if this is an easy issue!
Thanks!
