Change or insert data to XML variable in Workflow

[Former Community Member]

Hi,



In a workflow, there is a XML variable with the following data:

<data>

<current_user>

<username>apink</username>

</current_user>

<current_user>

<username>tblue</username>

</current_user>

<current_user>

<username>vkarven</username>

</current_user>

</data>



How to change the data for 'username'. I tried

'/process_data/MyXML/data/current_user[3]/username' = "kelvin", but does not work. I tried many other combinations and none of it works. Look simple, yet can't get it work?



Also, how can I add a 4th new 'current_user' to the XML?



Thanks for help...

Try

/process_data/MyXML/data/current_user[number(3)]/username

if this does not work, then it is not possible to add a new 4th user, email me @ mergeandfuse@gmail.com, may be I can give you something

Were you guys able to figure out how to update a specific node in an XML in the workbench process? Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks!

I ran into similar issues a while ago trying to do the same thing. I couldn't figure it out. I had to build a custom component and/or script service to get around the issue.



I tried it with the Alpha version of LiveCycle 8.2 and it seems to be fine. It could be a bug with the current version.

I was able to do it in a Set Value operation with the following



Location Expression

(/process_data/MyXML/data/current_user[3])/username "kelvin"



Hope that helps.

You can make string out of this XML. Manipulate that string - add a new user and put that string back to XML variable. I did implement the same in my process as an workaround.
