    Save to input specific node using xpath in contour

    Is it possible to make an xpath to save a new document in a node relative to one of the form fields?

    Like //Submissions/Category[name=$formfield]

    Hmm not sure will have to check the code for that but in case it works it should be the with the following syntax //Submissions/Category[name=[$formfield]]

    so[$formfield] will be replaced

    A quick "outside" observation: Using square-brackets as part of the replacement could potentially be a problem, since the XPath itself will be invalid...

    Any specific reason for having to use them like that?

    @Chriztian, well the replacement will happen on the string before it is used as an xpath statement

    hehe - I'm totally aware of that, didn't mean to sound as if I didn't get it :)

    It's just that in other places where XPath is used (e.g. the MNTP) they're just "magic variables" – here, you also need to wrap them in square brackets, which has their own meaning in XPath - so can be potentially confusing if you've started to get familiar with XPath for some of the places it can be used...

    Really, I was probably more concerned about the consistency-issue than the XPath-issue here.

    Currently it won't work but it's an easy update if you are up for upgrading to a nightly?
