I've never tried doing that many different types in one go but I Just tried it and it seems to work.All the stuff you have in the Validation field should also be in the Edit and Display tabs.

You can use setFocus() to jump to different fields.xfa.host.setFocus(path.to.field);

I think what's happening is that when you are checking the Instance Manager for the count there is nothing to count because there are no instances. That and trying to do it from the object that's being removed, there's probably something there too. To access the Instance Manager of non-existing obj...
