InfoPath - Multi Choice Value Field - Default Values

From the below article: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/6d30678f-acfa-4b4d-bffc-2705de86c0c2/infopath-multi-choice-value-field-default-values?forum=sharepointcustomizationprevious
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

the default values set in the SharePoint list do not carry over into InfoPath.  Not to mention, there is no option to select multiple default values for the Multiple-Selection List Box control within InfoPath.  The good news is we can make InfoPath display these values by default by modifying one of the source files that make up the InfoPath template.
When you first open an InfoPath XSN to fill in a new form, it uses a file called "template.xml" to know what data to display as default.  This file is stored in the source files that make up the XSN.  What we need to do is modify this file to include more than a single value as its default value.
The easiest method for accomplishing this will be the following:
  1. Open the list form template in InfoPath Designer.
  2. Go to File >> Publish >> Export as Source Files.  Choose a folder to save these to.
  3. In these source files you will see the template.xml file.  Open this in your favorite text editor.
  4. Search for the section in this XML file which contains the name of the Multiple-Selection List Box data.
Names may be different:
<my:multidefault_x0020_checkboxes>
    <Value>Apples</Value>
</my:multidefault_x0020_checkboxes>
Add the list of choices you would like to be checked by default, so it looks similar to this:
<my:multidefault_x0020_checkboxes>
    <Value>Apple</Value>
    <Value>Orange</Value>
    <Value>Grape</Value>
    <Value>Pear</Value>
    <Value>Etc</Value>
</my:multidefault_x0020_checkboxes>
Save this file and go back to the XSN's source files.  Right click on the manifest.xsf file and go to Design.  Quick Publish back to the server

Hide a SharePoint list field based on user group using JQuery Webservice in 2010

A field in a SharePoint list form like NewForm.aspx or EditForm.aspx can be easily hidden by using the following Jquery statements. Assume that we have an input field named Feedback var feedbackField = $("input[title=Feedback]"); feedbackField.parent().parent().parent().hide();    But what if we want to hide the field for a particular SharePoint user group only. Let's say we have a user group named "Test Group" and we don't want to show the Feedback field to the users of this group. In order to achieve this we need to know whether the current logged in user belongs to the "Test Group" or not.This can be done by using   SPServices , a Jquery library for SharePoint web services. Grab the latest version of SPServices Jquery library from codeple x and Jquery from here . Once you have both .js files, upload them to a SharePoint document library. In my case I created a folder named JS inside Shared Documents Document library and uploaded both files...
