InfoPath Dev

Hi

i have a reapeating section with severals, automatically filled fields. Well when user adds a new section I want the values of some of the fields to be copied. First I thought with the preceding-sibling, added through a rule in the repeating section properties won´t be a problem, but I simply can´t get it working :-(
When i want to set the value which should be copied I always get the message that i don´t have the right X-Path.
but I DO HAVE!!!
Thats my value to be set:

preceding-sibling::dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:Vorgang/@Benutzer[1]

My xml-file is quite huge, so I don´t want to copy it here, but You can be sure, I read it 100 times, and I always get the same path...

Would be so great If you could help me!

I think your XPath should look like
../preceding-sibling::d:Vorgang[1]/@Benutzer

When you are looking for data from one of the preceding sibling, you should not write the full xpath.

Also, as you see on Agni's example, the [1] should be on the node and not the attribute.

Thanks a lot!! It worked!!!
Can´t believe it, I spent so much time in this :-)

Glad you got it working! And thanks Agni for providing the solution!
