Security Validation Issue – Form Services issue with SP1+June 2011 CU (Release 2) #in #SP2010 #SharePoint #MSProject #ProjectServer

We are testing Service Pack 1 heavily in my project that I have talked about on this blog many times.

One of the features of our implementation is a number of developed InfoPath forms.  We found one issue previously that required a hotfix and it looks like SP1 and June 2011 CU (Release 2) has introduced another.

My colleague Paul Busby has mentioned it here:

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010customization/thread/6d5ffcb6-7563-4234-9282-e767b56b97b2

and another user has also confirmed the issue.

I shall be sending the details below to Microsoft through our partner support and hopefully we can get a resolution.

 

Scenario:

• Form Services
• Administrator Approved Form
• Server Version: 14.0.6106.5002 (Office 2010 SP1 + June 2011 CU – Release 2)
• Client Version: 14.0.6023.1000 (Office 2010 SP1)
• NB: June 2011 Cumulative Update does not include updates for InfoPath 2010
• Microsoft June 2011 Cumulative Update for Office 2010 Client Applications – KB2259686: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2259686/en-us

The form has two views:

• View one has a people picker
• View two is blank

The form is uploaded via Central Administration and activated to a site collection

A form library is created and the associated content type is attached

Upon creating a new form, the form loads

When the user switches views in the form, a Security Validation Error occurs:

Further Details:

• We have discovered that it appears to happen when switching to or from a view that contains a people picker field.
• Turning off security validation, allows the form to continue to work, but this is not something we want to go live with
• This issue has been found on a client DEV and TEST environment as well as a newly installed RTM machine upgraded to SP1 + June 2011 CU Release 2
