    Multinode picker not populating when item is not published

    I created a datatype base on the multi-node picker with the node selection type set to xpath expression. The node picker is not populated until I publish the item ?

    Is there a way to work around this ?

    Hi,

    What is the XPath expression you are using?  If it uses $currentPage you will get that behavior, because $currentPage doens't exist yet since it's looking for the current page in the Published XML.

    However, there are two other variables that you can use:

    $ancestorOrSelf or $parentPage (can't remember which is in which version)

    So you can use something like

    $ancestorOrSelf/ancestor-or-self::Home/CaseStudies [@isDoc]

    Hope this helps,
    Tom
