I am adding bulk values to the list using above webpart. When i add items its updating the list but when i open items, its not showing values inside the repeater control. The form is blank as shown below

As you can see below, the list is updated with all the values.

Hi Hema manjunath

Repeating table data is not saved in the individual columns. This means that you cannot connect the fields inside the Repeating table to individual columns in your list. This data can only be saved as an XML in a multi-line text column or if you use workflow, then each row from repeating table can be created as individual row in SharePoint list.

Hope that helps.

Hi kapil,

I completly agree with your point. 

But is there any way that i can update that xml from outside the form, like from any other webpart using code? as i explained in my question.

You will have to configure Update XML action and Add child node. I have not done this so cannot provide more details on the same but you will find the details in the help file. Help - Update XML
