Prepopulating InfoPath fields from parent process

Hi,


I have a situation where I am using two InfoPath forms (A, B) and multiple views.


I need to populate the Infopath Form B (child) with data from Infopath Form A (parent). I have created two processes, joined the Parent to the Child via an IPC Server event.  In the IDC Server event I am transcribing the Process Data from parent to child.


My question: how do I pre-populate Form-B using data from Form-A?  This data is all available in the K2 process and not stored anywhere else.


Ideas?


Thanks,


Adriano

    Unfortunately the IPC wizard only permits field to field copies, which doesn't satisfy this need for element to element copies within different XML schemas.


    What I think you could do is in your child process, create an XML field that has the same schema as your parent process XML/InfoPath field, then map these two fields within the IPC event.  Then within the Child process definition, utilize a data manipulation event(s) to copy the desired elements on a element-by-element basis from the new XML filed to the "real" xml/infopath field. 


    HTH.
