Re: Need to override previously copied attributes etc.

Hi again,
Tempore 01:24:08, die 07/29/2005 AD, hinc in xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx scripsit Taco Fleur (@DataBroker) <taco@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

When I run that as is,

Well, in order to test on my system, I used:
<xsl:variable name="fieldCollection" select="document('fieldcollection.xml')/root"/>
You need to change that uri back to the original of course.

I do not get the desired result,

also I don't know what to do with
-identity-reference- and -identity-reference-name- if anything?

The 'identity' attribute is already present in your input XML, no need to copy it.
No 'reference' attribute appeared in your desired output, so I thought it should be excluded as well.
After the principal field is found in the variable, the 'name' attribute is copied, but not anymore from referenced fields. Otherwise the ouput would contain: name="bit" instead of name="principalPlace"

It basically just copied everything over from the passed in file, but it did
not look to see if an element should get its attributes/nodes from a
referenced element.

THis is a part of the ouput:
<field identity="5AB5F3AD-D9DD-713A-D582F669F41CFAA8" required="true" display="Is Principal Place of Business" name="principalPlace" valid="01" type="boolean">
	<option value="0"/>
	<option value="1"/>
</field>

kind regards,
