Re: Passing XML-Instance but only use some 'data'

Hello,

ok, I just tested and it works. It's a pitty that relevant is
default="true". The XML-Document I have is not "small".

Is there a way of filling an instance out of an other instance?

What I mean is, load the XML as an instance, and use this in an other
instance at the same XForm, using only the values of instance#1?

I tried a bit, but maybe I am to tired this evening or it is not possible.

Again, any suggestions would help.

Cheers,

C. Sandtner
