Is there a way from a workflow to add a field to a list and prompt for its data?
If you are talking SharePoint Designer Workflows, you can't.
You can have a secondary list named "Custom Fields" with "FieldName", "FieldValue", "ItemId" columns and relate them in the workflow using the Current Item Id or something.

Guys!
I have a Sharepoint List, and I'm struggling to customize the webpart to include a new Item.
The need is to create a Dropbox that changes values based in another field in same webform.
Here in this list, I select the Coordinator list, but the problem is I really don't know how to show in Analyst field just the analysts from the coordinator I just choose.
Note: We are using a workspace in Sharepoint 2013, and due adm restrictions we can only use the regular settings, so we can't create custom HTML webparts for example.
Is it possible to have a Nintex forms lookup with external sharepoint list? I've many SQL tables and I need to use the data on the form. I'm creating an external list using BCS. I was able to show external list data in a dropdown using list lookup but having a lookup based on this dropdown selection isn't working!
First you'd need to create an external Content Type in SharePoint using SharePoint Designer. Then on required site/list create new "External data" column.
In Nintex Forms use "External data column" control in order to display and manipulate the data.
In my SharePoint List I have a custom field which is a filtered lookup.
The thing is that I would like to customize my form in InfoPath 2010 for that list, but I can't because I've got a custom field into it. When I'm trying to edit the list form from SharePoint I get the following error message in InfoPath :
"The SharePoint list form can't be customized with InfoPath because
fields of an unsupported data type are marked as required, or because
fields are corrupted. In SharePoint, try deleting the columns or
editing the column properties to remove the required attribute. -
Items (FilteredLookupField)"
This is normal, because it's not supported but is there a way that I could customize that form in InfoPath? If not, tell me how I could do it.
Many thanks.
P.S. I can't put any images yet. I don't have enough rep. ; )
Unfortunately, InfoPath will not help you there. You can however try to accomplish it in SharePoint Designer as it also offers a customizable, XSLT-based form control you can use.
I have a multi-select field in my Infopath 2010 that looks up values from other lists. I want to display the options in the box in a sorted order. How can I go about doing this? Thanks in advance!
Are you accessing the data from the SharePoint list directly?
I suggest you create a web service that queries the SharePoint list and sorts the data. You should bind the list control to the result of the web service.
I have an InfoPath form where I want to place a drop down list to select a user from a MOSS server.
I added a Data Connection in InfoPath to the User Information List list in my MOSS server. It works well, but the values I get are:
DOMAIN\administrator
SharePoint Owners
SharePoint Visitors
SharePoint Members
NT AUTHORITY\local service
System Account
Is there a way in InfoPath (or MOSS) to filter the list so it doesn't include groups?
Bonus question: Is there a way to filter it so system accounts are not shown?
Yes you can. When you set up the drop down to fill with data from the data connection you can filter the entries for the information that you want. After you have selected the datasource press the button to the right of Entries to select the repeating group that you want.
There is a filter data button on the Select field or group dialog.
From there you can filter the data how you want.
