Hi,

Use the following Xpath for expression box.

xdXDocument:GetDOM("Secondary")/MarketingHierarchy/OrganizationGroup/@name[../@id = xdXDocument:get-DOM()/my:myFields/my:dropdown]

Here MarketingHierarchy is root node in secondary data source and OrganizationGroup is repeating group from which drop down is getting values. 'my:dropdown' is the field main data source to which your drop down field is binded.

Sure.

Add an expression box and bind it to the name field in the secondary data that is used in your dropdown.

Then add a filter ( in the lower left when picking the field) where your drop down value is equal to the ID in the secondary data.

That will then display the name where ID matches what the one picked by the user. And it will update each time it changes.

HI folks,

Hope someone can help me with my problem, I'm sure it's fairly simple

I have a drop down list that is bound to an ID field and displays the a name. I want to be able to show this same name on an expression box. so, if the drop down changes, the expression box will update to have the same display name.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for any help.
