I have two texboxes bound to the same child repeating element. root/parent/child

<root>
 <parent>
  <child attr="value1">1</child>
  <child attr="value2">2</child>
  <child attr="value2">3</child>
 </parent>
</root>

I want textbox1 to display the value of child when the attribute attr is value 1 i.e.child/[@attr="value1"] . Similarly, i want the contents of textbox 2 to be whatever is the value of child/[@attr="value2"]

Is this possible?

Thank you

You can do this, but you must wrap the text box in a repeating table or repeating section. Then you place a filter on that repeating table/section as you describe. Then only the one text box will show which is correctly bound to the node you want. Be sure to turn off the insert/delete feature of the repeating control.

Thank you for your reply.

 There is the requirement that the text boxes would need to be placed at different places on the form section and not together. Or we may need to place the text boxes side-by-side

 Is there a way to achieve this?

 

Yes, you can do just that with what I described previously. The requirement is that each text box (doesn't matter where in the view) be inside a/the repeating table/section. The filter or conditional formatting, used to ensure that only the specified text box shows, is placed on the repeating control.
