Using infopath was the easy solution to add, filter and do some other standard things with fields from other sites. 

Can this somehow be done using your form desginer ?

  Hi George Imnaishvili,

  I'm not sure if I understand you correctly.. do you have a concrete scenario for your requirement?

  Scenario very simple. For example I have a site on SP with a list of contact, employees data, e.t.c.

  Lets say: Site name : HR

  List liberary: Employee contacts

   

  Same time I have another site on SP  with some task nomination form.

  Lets say : Site name : Operations

  List Library: Job Taks

   

  Upon opening new form Job Tasks i like to have lookup field which will take data from some field located in list library employee contact at HR site.

  Hi George Imnaishvili,

  thanks for the scenario, now I understand

  Unfortunately cross-site lookups are not yet supported as we just use the standard lookup from SharePoint.

   

  But it's somehow similar to this idea: Using cross-site lists in a dossier

  Just leave your vote there and/or add a comment that it should be available for lookups as well..

   

  Cheers
