Makes sense. Thanks again Swathip.

Hi,

../ means the parent node of the current node. Here ../../ means the parent of parent of the current node. For example, now you are at field3 and ../../ gives the group2 node.

Swathip - that worked. Thanks for taking the time to read and respond to my post.

One more thing - I haven't found much on the 'previous-sibling' command, can you explain what the "../../" at the beginning does?

Thanks!

Pat

Hi,

Use the expression like,

../../preceding-sibling::my:group2[1]/my: group3/my:field3

Preceding-sibling sub-path

I have a form with a master/detail section. In the repeating table I have a section with contains 2 fields (I put it in a section so that I can hide the section if certain conditions are met). The section contains a drop-down and a check-box. If the person checks the box then it should set the drop-down equal to the preceding value. I can get it to work if I don't put the fields into a section. The section adds a sub-group to the repeating group:

myFields
     group1
          group2 (repeating)
               field1
               field2
               group3 (the section / sub-group to the repeating group)
                    field3 (the drop-down)
                    field4 (the check-box)

I have a rule added to the check-box so that if selected it should set the current field equal to the preceding but nothing happens (I'm sure it is because I need to modify the xpath to account for the sub-group).

If I don't use the section to hold the fields then "preceding-sibling::my:group2[1]/my:field3" works fine. How do I modify it to account for when the field is a level deeper?

Sorry if this is lengthy or confusing.

Thanks.
