Submit button creates duplicate records in Sharepoint 2013 list from browser based Infopath 2013 form

I have a browser based InfoPath 2013 form. This is a list form which submits Order Comments to the SharePoint 2013 list. There is a Submit button on this form. I have added the Edit Item view of this list form as a web part on a web part page. There is a drop down list control called Order Status which has values such as Processing, Shipped, Cancelled and Hold. When a user submits this form, it creates who bunch of duplicate records in the list.

Is there any ways this could be prev

I assume it is a custom form. Check data connections. The form may have two data connections. Since it is a browser enabled form, you may have added a data connection for submission and there may be a rule on the submit button that also submits the form. Hence you see two entries. Make sure your submit button is using the data connection that you had added.

It is a custom form. I did check the data connection but it looks fine. There are no rules on Submit button. The form is a list form and submit action is using the Main Data Connection.

Strange

Hi

Based on your description, my understanding is that When you edit a SharePoint InfoPath form List Item, it submits an entirely new list without save the data to the same item. if I misunderstanding your issue, please let me know.

I have done a test and I can't reproduce your issue.

I added a button to the InfoPath form, set the button as the following:

How do you add the Edit Item view of this list form as a web part on a web part page?

Besides, here is an article about submitting an InfoPath Form to SharePoint with a Unique Filename, you can take a look at:
