@Mark Warwick,
Sorry for the delay in response. Thank you for your idea! I really liked this. One question: was there a reason why you didn't just have 2 fields instead of 3? My idea would be to create a repeatable section that includes following fields:
Question 1 (Previous Inspection) [read-only]
Question 1 [actual response from current inspection]
Question 2 (Previous Inspection) [read-only]
Question 2 [actual response from current inspection]
etc.
Just wanted to ask if you ran into any issues trying to map it out this way. Thanks!

Hi Thomas,
I am doing something like what you are describing with a repeatable section that I populate with a SharePoint list. In my case I am only looking to display the most recent inspection in the form, so I store the last inspection in the same list as the questions.
My repeatable section summary table acts as the list of inspection questions. The first field in the section is the question itself (read only). The next field is the previous answer (read only). Then I have a field for the current answer.
When the form is sent, I use the repeatable SharePoint list destination to update the SharePoint list with all the new answers.

I'm in the process of using the API to save previously submittted PDF's. Our service coordinators didn't save the 1300 PDF's we had submitted over the last 3 years. Our goal is to put them in a Sharepoint Folder available to all our FSEs when going on a service call. I haven't yet attempted to use the Dispatch API mentioned above.

Hi everyone, I am working on an inspection form right now where a technician will select a site from a dropdown menu, and then fill out an inspection report for that site. On that form, I would like to display the previous readings from the last time that one of our tech's inspected that specific site. That is the part I am struggling with right now, as I can't find an option to access that information and display it within the form itself.
Let me know if anyone has any ideas or have come across solutions for similar problems involving displaying previous inspection results in a form.
Thanks,
Thomas
