List transaction property with XML value type

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can we pass values to a "List" transaction property containing XML structures? If yes, what would be the XPATH expression?

Hi VM,

Although you can access the value of a list item using the list name and and index, where the index is contained in curly braces, for example myList, there is no way to build an xpath expression to point to a location in the XML document. The only suggestion I have is to write the list item to a local property, make the modifications, and then reassign back to the list, overwriting the current value.

Kind Regards,

Thanks Diana. That was pretty much my conclusion too after a day long playing around with the "{", ")", "#" and what not! Funny MII!

To my luck, the client changed the requirement a little bit and I didn't have to puruse the List variable approach anymore.

VM,

Glad to hear that! The List and Map datatypes are new additions, hopefully there will be some access functions added
