In SharePoint Designer 2010 and InfoPath 2010, I am trying to automatically populate the field "Reassign Task To" field when a user clicks the "Reassign Task" button (this is within the Approval Process Workflow). I have tried to do this by editing the workflow from within SharePoint Designer 2010 and I have tried to do it from InfoPath 2010, but from both places I can't seem to do it. I can auto populate other person/group pickers but not that one. Does anyone know how to do this?

I have developed a portal using SharePoint 2010 (Standard Edition). I want to develop a Master-Detail "Requisition" form using Visual Studio 2010. I don't want users to access the List and click on "Add New" to access the form. I want to create a link on portal's homepage like "Requisition Form" when user will click on the link it should open the form right there.
Should I create a Visual WebPart ..then create new page and embed the webpart there? or should I develop WebPart Page..I've never done webpart page so what's the better approach? and to Edit the page do I need to create another Visual part with Gridview control and fill currently logged in user's Requisitions including Item ID and pass it on to MyCustomRequisitionEditForm.aspx ?
Please advise.
Why don't you customize standard new form of the list with Sharepoint Designer or InfoPath? You can create a link to this form on the homepage of your portal.
I have created a calendar list and then in list settings I've added the column Attendees. Then I created an event with certain attendees and the type as meeting. And later integrated to outlook 2010 through the Connect to Outlook option in the ribbon button. I can view the created sharepoint calender along with the default outlook calendar in outlook. But when I select an event it doesn't show the attendees I have added through sharepoint.
Is there a way to show the attendees?
There is no great way to expose custom SharePoint columns Outlook with the native connection. Outlook only understands a strict set of columns for appointment types.
We have been working on and Outlook add-in that extends the functionality and exposes any custom columns directly within Outlook 2007/2010. You can find more at http://propersync.com/unifiedcalendar.aspx.

Hj,
I want to Sync SharePoint Tasks and Outlook Tasks 2010 but the custom columsn in SP do not exist in outlook. Did anyone have a solution for this stuff. :)
Many thanks.
Feature for users with Outlook 2010, iPhone, and SharePoint 2010 project list/task.
I was able to get SharePoint 2010 list/ task items to show up on the iPhone ios5 reminders.app
Step One- is go to SharePoint 2010 site and Connect to Outlook 2010
http://epmsource.com/2011/02/09/sync-project-tasks-to-outlook-without-exchange/
Step Two- is check for the linked SharePoint task to be added to users SharePoint List in Outlook
Step Three- is to drag SharePoint List in Outlook Normal task.
Step Four- is the final view of the users outlook account folder hierarchy
Step Five- on the iPhone go to settings.app àexchange mail à turn on Reminders
Step Six- on the iPhone go to reminders.app à swipe left to see second SharePoint list task.
Only problem is the you will notice that the projects under my task doesn’t have the blue two arrows anymore. That’s because it’s not going to talk to SharePoint anymore. When I move it to my mailbox the it got disconnected. If I get it to work I will update you. But who knows may your views can found a fix faster.
Without any third party software you can not do that. But there is a work around:
On SP go to ~'Add Existing Columns' -> Choose ~'Core Task Columns' -> add some columns from there to your list. You can rename added columns as you wish but you can not change their type.
Sync your list with Outlook & create some dummie entries to test it.
Now you can check how Tasks are represented on Outlook. You can find entries in task form. Go to: Show -> Details, Task.
If you want to add a control to your list items such as a dropbox or date, you can do that with Outlook custom forms. But in SP task list column value will be represented as single line of text.
Unfortunatelly you have to give a lot for custom values :)
I created a form in infopath 2010 which is submitted to a sharepoint 2010 document library
I Have a field in the infopath form called "day" and I need to map it to a column named "day" in the document library when the form submitted.
Please any suggestions.
Form Options -> Promoted Properties -> Add
I am try to created a cascade dropdown using infopath 2010 in sharepoint 2010 list. On publishing infopath form i lost data binding setting and it just resets to default "Enter choices manually". It works perfectly only if i dont publish it (preview mode). I even recreated infopath form many times but of no use. It works perfectly on some other site but not on where i want to.
[note: Dropdown are lookup columns]
Check your form settings at dropdown box properties > Browser forms > Post back settings, make sure its set to Always.
