My xpath query does not work when used with multimode picker but works when used like Umbraco.GetContentAtXPath in Razor. It also works if I execute the query on a visualizer tool like XPathPizualizerTool

Below is the query and the content.

Query:

//TeamMembers[TeamMember[categoriesMainSite[contains(text(),"Blog Authors")]]]

Content:

<TeamMembers id="..." key="..." parentID="..." level="2" creatorID="0" sortOrder="7" createDate="2016-02-15T16:36:20" updateDate="2016-02-15T16:36:20" nodeName="Team Members" urlName="team-members" path="-1,1239,1325" isDoc="" nodeType="1175" creatorName="Virca" writerName="Virca" writerID="0" template="1174" nodeTypeAlias="TeamMembers">
      <showSponsors>0</showSponsors>
      <TeamMember id="1330" key="e1d7bd14-6aa7-4a44-ac01-27e20b6315a7" parentID="1325" level="3" creatorID="0" sortOrder="0" createDate="2016-02-16T08:42:08" updateDate="2016-02-16T08:42:08" nodeName="Lazau Florin-Ionel" urlName="lazau-florin-ionel" path="-1,1239,1325,1330" isDoc="" nodeType="1173" creatorName="Emanuel Virca" writerName="Emanuel Virca" writerID="0" template="1172" nodeTypeAlias="TeamMember">
        <firstName><![CDATA[Florin-Ionel]]></firstName>
        <lastName><![CDATA[Lazau]]></lastName>
        <categoriesMainSite><![CDATA[Blog Authors]]></categoriesMainSite>
      </TeamMember>
      <TeamMember id="1331" key="4c385076-5025-44e0-8440-35be66306184" parentID="1325" level="3" creatorID="0" sortOrder="1" createDate="2016-02-16T08:42:36" updateDate="2016-02-16T08:42:36" nodeName="Virca Emanuel" urlName="virca-emanuel" path="-1,1239,1325,1331" isDoc="" nodeType="1173" creatorName="Emanuel Virca" writerName="Emanuel Virca" writerID="0" template="1172" nodeTypeAlias="TeamMember">
        <firstName><![CDATA[Virca]]></firstName>
        <lastName><![CDATA[Emanuel]]></lastName>
        <categoriesMainSite><![CDATA[National Advisory Board,Staff,Board of Directors,Chapter Board Members,Leadership Council,Trainers]]></categoriesMainSite>
      </TeamMember>
    </TeamMembers>

The query does not take into consideration the contains function of the query and always returns all the members.

Any Help Please?

Hi Emanuel,

The Multinode Tree Picker uses XPath to find a start node, rather than nodes to use as options - as an alternative you could use any of the Xml Pickers in nuPickers.

HTH, Hendy
