InfoPath Dev

hi

I want to create a drop-down box with the content of more then one Field. To do this i have edited (blue text) following code in my view1.xsl file.

<xsl:attribute name="value">
    <xsl:value-of select="my:Schl_risk/my:field42"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
	<option>
	   <xsl:if test="my:Schl_risk/my:field42="test33"">
	   <xsl:attribute name="selected">selected</xsl:attribute>
	   </xsl:if>
           <xsl:value-of select="my:Schl_risk/my:Kredi_risk1"/>	
        </option>
 

every time i make a change in the InfoPath Designer the manually entered line is removed.

What can i do to work around this failure?

thx
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Welcome to the board!
InfoPath by default removes foreign code from the XSL when ever the view is changed. If you dont want this to be done you need to use xd:preserve code block.
Tknow more about "xd:preserve" look at

hi, thanks for your answer. i copied this example code to my xsl file. It works fine in the preview mode, but when i make change in the design mode. The code that i've copy pasted was overwrited again.
What i do wrong, did you have another workaround for this?
thx for your answer!

Hi,
Other option is simple and advisable than xd:preserve,
copy all the values that you want to show in the dropdown to repeating nodes(2DS) and bind the dropdown to show those values.
