XForms move node up or down in the XML tree


I need to allow my XForms (using XSLTForms) users move elements up and down the XML tree. I have this working as long as I am using the full path to the element including the instance. However I'm wondering if it is possible to have the same function without referring to the full path or the instance as I am using a series of nested subforms within repeats.

Simplified example bellow: up1 works as expected, up2 does not. The only difference is the path.

Solution

  • For "up2" to work as "up1", you should replace "." with "../*"
