I have searched and not found exactly what I am looking for:

I have an xml file with student data that I am using as a secondary data source.  I have a repeating table that I would like to pre-populate the first field with the students' names.  Is there a way to do this wth out code? 

Thanks,

Ren

Hello

Is your field a drop down and want to show all the names from the XML into the Drop down?

Kalyan,

 Thank you for the quick reply.

No, they are text boxes.  For example, my secondary source has 4 students in a repeating table.  I need to create a new table with the first element in each row filled in with the students' name.

 Once again,

Thank you,

Ren 

Hi Ren,

I am afraid to copy a repeating table (or random number of rows of data) from secondary data source to another DOM will require code.

It is a limit of the secondary data source that it cannot be used in this way.  It is only by making the data source the primary data source that such a scenario could be achieved, unless you code the behaviour.

 Stephanie,

Thank you.  I have been trying to code this, but the Object model help and examples are pretty thin.  If the table in my main data source is:

<AttendanceTable ClassSection="English 225">
     <StudentName/>
     <Attended/>
</AttendanceTable>

and my secondary data source is:

<StudentRecords>
   <StudentName/>
   <CurrentClasses>
      <Class/>
   </CurrentClasss>
</StudentRecords>

What is the objects/methods:

1. To get the the student name from the student record where class the class = English 225
2. Populate the student name field for each row in the Attendance table

Thank you,

Ren
