I've got a large (100+) field infopath form, and many many of my fields need
the same six-or-so-choice drop-down list added. Can I do this to more than
one field at a time? If not this is going to take hours!

Thanks,

KJB

You should be using a secondary data source to populate those lists. Its crazy to manually populate all those lists. If you use a data source for the options, then you only need to update in a single location.

I've tried to do the same thing but have been unable to get anything but the
first item in my data source to show up. I'm obviuosly not doing something
right. Is the a link to instructions for setting this up properly?
