    Save as an umbraco document(where to save) xpath problem

    Hey..

    I'm trying to save an entity as an umbraco document. I need to save it with a dynamic parent.

    I tryed to type "[#pageID]" in the "where to save" xpath and a lot of other things. But it doesn't work. 

    What am I doing wrong?

    Hi Henrik,

    Here are a couple of examples:

    current page id: $currentPage/@id

    stored in a propertyfield of the current page

    $currentPage/propertyAlias

    store on the second level parent

    $currentPage/ancestor-or-self::* [@level = 2]/@id

    I know this is question has been asked long ago, but I couldn't find any good solution on the forum.

    How can I set the xpath to be a page that I have choosed from the form itself, in my contour form I have a dropdown that is populate from the prevalue source which fetch nodes from the root, I want to be able to save the current node created by the contour form under the selected node (from the dropdown), I hope I made my point clear that you can help me

     I used the code in this project to create a new workflow:

    Thanks
