No, was never able to resolve this issue. It must have something to do with the preceding-sibling function. Since Template Parts are embedded as section, and therefore, nodes, InfoPath must be trying to level the formulas and expressions when a Template Part is added to a form.

Hello:

Were you ever able to resolve this? I replicated this and had the same results. I then updated Office 2007 to SP 1, just in case there was a fix in there, but still had the same results. I looked at the source files for the template part, and saw that the .ict file had the following line in it:
<xsl:when test="relXpath:UG_ServerName = relXpath:UG_ServerName">DISPLAY: none</xsl:when>

And the actual XSL had this:
<xsl:when test="my:UG_ServerName = preceding-sibling::my:UserGroup/my:UG_ServerName">DISPLAY: none</xsl:when>

So, obviously, the .ict isn't reflecting the XSL....

Template Part schema changes when inserted into a form?

I'm struggling with my template parts.

It seems that every time I add my template part into a new form, it loses the schema context. Let me explain.

In my template part I have the following Schema:

UserGroup (repeating group)

UG_ServerName

UG_ApplicationName

In the conditional formatting of UG_Server, I have the following expression set to hide the text-box control:

my:UG_ServerName = preceding-sibling::my:UserGroup/my:UG_ServerName

This hides the text-box if the value is the same as the same text-box in the preceding record which results in a sort of outline-style table.

This works great in the template part. And it works great if I use the same expression in a form template. The problem is when I try to insert the template part into a new form template, the expression changes to:

my:UG_ServerName = my:UG_ServerName

This clearly, is always going to return as true. I've tried putting it into its own group. I've tried using sections. I can't figure for the life of me how to fix it.
