InfoPath Dev

I have a repeating section that the user can add multiple instances of.

 In this section they select an option from a dropdown box.

 Depending what option they selected, descriptions are loading into expression boxes from a secondary xml data source.

 Everything works perfectly fine as long as there is one instance of the repeating section.

As soon as I add a section section, the descriptions all go to one choice rather than being different in each of the repeating sections.

 I used some conditional xPath statements with the expression boxes to display the correct information.

Example: xdXDocument:GetDOM("Flat File Specs")/FlatFileSpecs/CCR/Header/RecordID/Description[xdXDocument:get-DOM()/File/PmtRec/@PmtMethod = "CCR"] | xdXDocument:GetDOM("Flat File Specs")/FlatFileSpecs/CHK/Header/RecordID/Description[xdXDocument:get-DOM()/File/PmtRec/@PmtMethod = "CHK"]

 I just need to know why the repeating sections are not showing independant data.

Hi -

I'm guessing you'll need to use "current()" in your XPath.If PmtRec is your repeating group, and your expression boxes are in a repeating section bound to that group:

xdXDocument:GetDOM("Flat File Specs")/FlatFileSpecs/CCR/Header/RecordID/Description[current()/@PmtMethod = "CCR"] | xdXDocument:GetDOM("Flat File Specs")/FlatFileSpecs/CHK/Header/RecordID/Description[current()/@PmtMethod = "CHK"]

Yuuup, that was it. Thank you so much, this site is amazing.

 Wish I wasn't so dumb and decided not to test out adding sections before configuring hundreds of these boxes.

 I have lots of copy/paste to do today!

Don't be hard on yourself - consider it a learning experience. But copy / paste is our friend. :-}

Are those xPath equations stored in the manifest? If so this is a simple fix!

Ok I got most of it fixed but it created a new problem.

I have sections of PmtMethod that only show depending on what the user selects. I added the current() function and now nothing is showing up in those fields. Could it be because there is a PmtMethod section nested inside the repeated section?

Edit: Nevermind, I got it figured out. Thanks again Hilary!
